AI Image Prompts for T-Shirt Designs
Merch that sells needs a bold, clean graphic that prints well. These prompts produce vector-style, print-ready designs with simple palettes and isolated backgrounds.
Tips
- Ask for "vector", "flat", "limited color palette", "isolated on transparent".
- Keep it bold and simple — fine detail prints poorly.
- Specify the vibe ("retro 80s", "minimal line art", "streetwear").
