cubedG Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I really want to get into designing some uniforms but I just have no idea how to do it. I've always resorted to just drawing them out of frustration. Any tips, pointers or links would be of great help. Thank y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate, Most people here use programs from the Adobe design suite like Photoshop or Illustrator, but if you don't already have that/ can't afford it, Inkscape is a very good alternative, as to is MS paint. In terms of making designs, Paint would be the easiest, however often designs don't come out as well as you imagined through blurriness and other factors, whereas with a program like Illustrator it's a little bit more difficult at first to understand, but you'll get a crisp design. Whichever program you decide to choose, there are plenty of YT tutorials for each one on certain aspects of their program which will help you become a better designer. Good Luck!

I've tried searching some YT videos but nothing really comes up. Usually only like soccer uniforms in some program I've never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyamesField Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I use Paint and don't mind it. As anything, it's all about practice. The other day I was looking at some first concepts from a couple years ago and compared to now it's a huge difference. Just create, create, create! My advice would be go check out Paint Users Paradise. They have a bunch of great templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to go modern with templates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 mockuparena.com has a lot of new templates that work great with photoshop (pretty much every sport). There at least used to be a template thread pinned at the top of the concepts page, but I couldn't seem to find it. Hit up mockup and you should be able to find something that you like.
