Custom Birthday T-Shirt Design

I’m surprising a close female friend with a one-of-a-kind birthday T-shirt and need a creative designer who can handle the full printed-design process from concept through final artwork.

Here’s what I already know: the gift must be a T-shirt, and I want the design printed directly on the fabric rather than embroidered or done with vinyl. Beyond that, I’m open to your artistic direction—playful illustration, stylish typography, or a clever combo of both, as long as it feels personal and celebrates her personality.

What I need from you
• 2–3 original design concepts presented as mock-ups on a women’s T-shirt template.
• One polished final design in print-ready formats (AI, EPS, and a high-resolution PNG with transparent background).
• Color palette and font information so a print shop can reproduce the shirt accurately.

Acceptance criteria
• Artwork sized correctly for standard screen-printing (12"×16" max).
• CMYK file provided at 300 DPI.
• All elements either fully original or sourced with proper commercial licensing.

If you can inject a bit of personality while keeping production straightforward, let’s get started—this should be a fun, quick project with a memorable result.
