Running is one of the sports where t-shirts are used as a uniform and also a marketing tool. Regardless of whether you belong to a professional racing team or you are just a part of a group of friends that run for fun, you should have a dedicated shirt for this purpose. Personalized running shirts are not only easy to make but also fun to wear. There are many professional designers who make clothes for runners. However, it is more fulfilling to wear your own customized gear.

It is easy cheaper to do your own design instead of hiring a professional. You should look for a scanner as well as software that can edit images. Find an interesting photograph to put on your shirt. You can take a photo or choose from different pictures that are already available. Choose the colors wisely. The colors need to match to produce a wonderful end product.

Find a good application to edit the image you want to use. You can use the internet to find a suitable application as well as tutorials on how to use it. Format the picture to the right size so that it can fit perfectly on the shirt. Find out the appropriate measurements. It is common to print an image on the chest region of a shirt.

Choose dynamic color schemes as well as typefaces that are attractive. Typography can be done by hand and later scanned. Another option is to choose programs that do vector art. There are plenty of applications that you can find on the internet. Some are free to download. Seek help from an expert if you are stuck.

If you want you can also add text to the image. Experiment with different colors and positions till you find the right match. When you are done editing the photograph have it stored on a CD or a flash drive so that you can take it for printing. You can also send it to the print shop through email.

The next step is to look for t-shirt shops that do printing. Look for a firm that has the best combination of quality and price for printing digital images on a shirt. It is easy to find such a business in your area. You can use the internet to find print shops that offer this service. Some of the businesses that do design work also do printing.

Choose the kind of t-shirt you want. There are different styles to choose from. They include, short-sleeved, long-sleeved and tanks. Another important factor is the fabric. For a runner, it should absorb moisture. This will keep the person wearing it dry. It is wise to use cotton on the shirt that you will wear after a run.

Before completing the order you need to make any last minute changes. Make sure you agree on the number of shirts you need as well as the cost. It is fun to rock personalized running shirts. Enjoy the added flexibility and comfort that comes with customized garments.
