It's sometimes hard to know what to make for Dad for Christmas, but professional looking home made T-shirts are a real winner. Best of all is that all you really need to make a T-shirt at home is your Computer and some great ideas.

To start with you have to get creative. Open up a new image in your desktop publishing program
sized 305mm x 305mm or 2100 x 2100 pixels and 100 resolution. It is quite a big space and will fit on the centre front of the T-shirt.

Now you need to fill the blank space with images, photos and maybe some text. You can source images on the Internet. If you visit the Google homepage and type in what you are looking for - for Example 'Rudolf' and them click search - this will show you web results. To see the images of Rudolf that Google has found. However if you click 'Images' at the top left-hand side of the browser, just above the Google logo, it will show you the image results.

If you want to an image to fill the T-shirt, you need to choose a large image. If you stretch the image and make it bigger, it reduces the quality of the finished image design, and you won't have a sharp, crisp image on the finished T-shirt.

To make sure that the images you source on the Internet are big enough to fill your T-shirt design, on the Google Images search results page click ' ' next to 'Show Options' at the top left hand side below the Google Logo. This opens a menu of filtering options on the left, choose 'Large' in the size section. Now Google will only show you the large images.

Select images that are personal to your Dad, maybe his favourite Motorbike, his favourite band or singer, his favourite sports person or maybe a formula one racing car. You could use a photo of yourself or your family. You can also use the text functionality on your desktop publishing program to write a funny caption or a message.

When you are happy with your design save it as a Jpg or a Gif onto your computer and visit Vistaprint website.
