• Deliver the template in PSD format ready for immediate use in DTG printing.
Requirements:
• Proven experience in textile design with specific skills in marking, grading, and creating templates in Adobe Photoshop.
• Portfolio showcasing textile patterns, especially all-over print designs and templates, with evidence of proficiency in marking and grading for clothing production.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent communication skills.
