Hello to everyone in this wonderful SteemWomenClub community! Today I bring you my participation for this contest “DESIGN A SHIRT FOR STEEM” (you can find it here), for which I designed this model:

Edit and design done by me, Isabella Moreno.

INSPIRATION

I was inspired by a neon sign to create the logo for my shirt. Below is an example of what I had in mind:

TOOLS

For this process I used three apps on my phone: Picsart, Canva and Remini, which I share with you below.

I searched for the STEEM logo and several shirt vectors in google search. I chose the following:

STEP BY STEP OF THE DESIGN

I started on Picsart. It seems to me an application with a lot of options to deal with color, texture effects, filters, combine photos and images; it is simple to use despite being a mobile application. As a first step, I started working on a white shirt to have better clarity; I added the logo with the "add image" tool:

Until it looked like this:

Immediately this option opens, it displays the tools inside it.

I started to play with the tools. Then I used the tool to cut with a certain shape and I outlined the border of the logo as follows:

Then, once the logo was cut in a circular shape and placed on the t-shirt, I played with lights, contrast, brightness and saturation to get the logo to look the way I saw it in my mind.

At this point, the logo looked like this:

Then, once I finished the process of editing the logo on its own, I started blending its edit with the shirt using the "blend" tool.

I used the blend called "underexpose color". Then, in case I wasn't totally convinced, I modified the saturation and brightness of the logo a bit. The result was as follows:

Once this was finished, I decided to add lettering. But, since there are no good free fonts in Picsart, I moved to Canva. Canva is just as easy to work with, even more so. I immediately went to the text session, where I chose the font Aileron Regular, which is found for free; I made it bold, modified the letter so that they had more separation and placed the inverted curve effect upwards. To finish and so that it didn't look blunt, I removed a bit of transparency.

Once this was done, I decided it was time to work on the logo on its own, since the shirt did not convince me at all. I took the logo and cut it out. Then I started trying effects again in Picsart, but this time including the lettering. Then, like an incredible miracle, I found a filter that fascinated me: neon.

This effect made contact with me immediately. Once this was defined, I decided to change the tone of the shirt to the one I showed you at the beginning: a black t-shirt. I placed the logo on the shirt in the same way as before, started editing light, shadow, saturation, brightness and color until it looked like this:

I loved how it turned out looking with the neon tone. Then, to improve the quality of the logo and image, I used Remini, which is an application that improves the quality of photos in an incredible way, and whose free version allows you to do it five times a day. The result was like this:

Once the whole editing process was finished, I was finally able to see both final results side by side.

FINAL RESULTS

I really enjoyed making the design of this shirt. It was a fun experience that made me experiment with the tools that I already had in my cell phone, but that I had never dared to use.

All photos used for the step-by-step are screenshots of the mentioned applications.

I hope you liked the design, that you found the tutorial useful and that you enjoyed reading it. Thank you very much for stopping by, greetings!
