Bob, I have one 'sanity check' question that I need your feedback on. Historically I like to do a large line drawing, in this case I'm thinking on an 11x17 sheet (Size B paper). Then if the drawing is reduced (sometimes clients shrink it down to fit the cap on top of a pen), the lines are crisper. I usually 'check the design' & reduce the drawing to make sure it still shows all lines when reduced.
It's easier to reduce and get cleaner resolution in a smaller size than to draw smaller and when enlarged, minute flaws can show up. So what size are you thinking on the shirts? If it would be reduced to a size that fits on a pocket then I'm ok. If it would be a large print on the back of a shirt (8x10?, 11x14?), the original should larger than I was thinking. I just need to gear my mind to what you're thinking-no problem. As example, I scaled the small mascot decals off the youngest boy's football helmet and made them huge to be put on the back of a 5T stakebed truck for a Homecoming Celebration (he still has those color drawings). So the initial size should be something that 'works' well when reproduced for MSOG. If I need to go even larger than a drawing on a 11x17 sheet, I should know now. I have larger paper here, just need to know what your intention & approach is. And what artwork did you use to get quotes for?? Just line drawings or ..........
