Whether you need vibrant screen prints, detailed embroidery, or high-quality sublimated graphics, we make the process seamless so you get products that represent your brand perfectly.
What Makes Our Art Department Stand Out?
What truly sets our art department apart is our extensive industry experience. We’ve created licensed apparel for major sports teams, sold nationwide, and pride ourselves on turning our clients’ ideas into reality. Our team’s expertise and creativity guarantee that we deliver high-quality, custom artwork that matches our customers’ vision.
Design Creation & Adaptation
Our team crafts custom logos, t-shirt designs, and small business promotional items by fine-tuning the artwork to confirm it’s ready for production. With tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and other Adobe Creative Cloud tools, we make sure your design’s colors, resolution, and dimensions are on point.
If you already have a design that needs minor adjustments or a finalized design ready for production, we’re happy to skip the design process and move straight to printing! However, to guarantee the best results, some preparations may be required. Be sure to check out our Artwork Prep and Things to Avoid pages for important guidelines before submitting your files.
How Does Your Team Approach Brainstorming and Concept Development?
We begin by asking our clients to provide any specific text or elements that need to be included in the design. If there’s a particular aesthetic or style they’d like to draw inspiration from, we encourage them to share a sample or reference. Our team works closely within these guidelines to create a design that meets their expectations. You can view some of our design examples below!
File Preparation and Color Separation
Once a design is finalized, we prepare the files for printing by converting them into formats like .AI, .EPS, or .PDF. For multi-colored designs, we separate the artwork into distinct layers for each color, vital for achieving sharp, vibrant results.
Mockups & Proofs
To make sure we’re on the right track, we provide digital mockups, giving clients a preview of how their designs will appear on finished products, be it custom t-shirts or other sublimated promotional items. Once a client shares their idea, we use industry-standard software to create a design. We then generate a digital mockup to show how the design will appear on the selected garments. This mockup is sent to the client for approval. If any revisions are needed, we make the changes and send an updated proof until the design is finalized and approved. We work closely with you to refine details and make adjustments, so there are no surprises, just results you’ll love. Some of our art department mockups are shown below.
Teamwork and Collaboration
Creating standout designs at Inkorporate Graphics is all about teamwork. Our art department doesn’t work in isolation; we collaborate with each other and with our clients. We work closely with all areas of the company to bring our clients’ visions to life. We collaborate with the sales team to understand client needs and determine how many screens will be required for the design. Additionally, we partner with production teams to make sure the artwork translates well into the production process, carefully selecting the best techniques for application.
Every design undergoes multiple reviews, allowing for valuable feedback so we’re on track. Whether it’s adjusting colors or tweaking fonts, we make sure that each detail is exactly what you envisioned. With open communication and a creative team, we guarantee the final product is something you can proudly showcase.
What is the Typical Timeline for New Designs or Custom Logos?
The timeline for custom designs can vary depending on the project’s scope. However, we usually provide an initial mockup for review within 2 business days of receiving payment. We strive to make sure the design process moves smoothly and efficiently. You can also visit our FAQ page for more information.
