I am seeking a textile designer with experience in marking, grading, and clothing manufacturing to create a Photoshop template for a t-shirt in sizes S to 3XL. I will provide the artwork; your task is to develop a template optimized for printing on 16 x 18 inch fabric squares for direct-to-garment (DTG) printing.

• Ensure the provided artwork is integrated into the template, including seam allowances for accurate cut-and-sew production.

• Adjust artwork placement to ensure a seamless appearance once the t-shirt is assembled.

• 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.

• Ability to meet tight deadlines and provide creative solutions.

Deliverables:

• A scalable Photoshop template for cut-and-sew t-shirt production across sizes S to 3XL.

• Print-ready PSD file formatted specifically for 16 x 18 inch fabric squares.

• Visual mockup in Photoshop showing how the artwork adapts to different sizes.

Budget and Timeline:

• Indicate your rate and estimated time to complete the template.

• Specify terms regarding revisions or additional modifications.

Application Instructions:

Please submit your proposal including:

• A brief introduction detailing your experience with textile design, marking, and grading in Photoshop.

• Information on your availability and projected timeline for delivering initial drafts.
