The process of designing socks can be fun, but it can be difficult once you've made the decision to get started. With the variety of designs and styles it can be confusing for newbies. Certain designs look straightforward, yet are very popular and people often wear them while other styles come and disappear. Make sure you avoid mistakes before making it large. But, it's easier to say than done and even experienced entrepreneurs require to refresh their knowledge. Don't worry! EverLighten is here to help We have compiled some of the most effective strategies that have helped a lot of companies over the past 19 years.

Choose a moderate image size among the most common mistakes made by novices making is to make the design too large. they believe that it will help the look interesting and draw attention to the design. The size of the design should match the socks, function and fabrics. Socks have a cylinder shape. It is important to take into account the entire size of the print, not just the width and height. For example, certain shapes such as circles or squares look better printed in smaller.

One size is not suitable for each sock. They come in different designs, such as an ankle length, no-show dress, dress, below-the-knee over-the-knee and so on. Reduce the size of the design to fit smaller sizes. Breathability is among the most important factors in socks. A large print will affect your quality of the wearer's experience. For example, if your goal is to create personalized socks for athletes, you don't choose to make large-scale imprints since they can turn into uncomfortable sweat spots.

Everyone is different in their style of dressing Some people prefer to wear the logo in a big way, while others aren't keen on becoming an unintentional billboard for their company. Be careful not to use a huge logo. People are likely to be impressed by your socks.

Make sure you have the correct placement - the precise measurement of the area to print on the sock are distinct. If you decide to print in a specific location, be sure to have a reason to do so. Sock designs can be seen from the outside. The inside of the socks are not often visible Most people don't know that the normal design is not located half way from the upper and bottom. It's towards the upper part of the outside of the socks.

 Our team is sure that it will work across different styles. Contact our art department of any specific requests or alternative printing area. They ensure that the request is met and send you a digital proof. The design with asymmetry issue must be placed in the center visually.

Pay attention to typography and fonts: The fonts define the style of text, while it is the visible arrangement of words. They are two distinct things and could confuse newcomers. When you print anything there's typography.

When designing, it is the art of typing, i.e. placing type in a manner that is logical. Select the right typefaces, make sure you have that the spacing between letters and lines is correct and then design with a pleasing aesthetic.

It speaks volumes about your business and convey emotions and ideas. It is common to associate certain words with certain images. This happens due to the constant exposure to advertisements, logos, graphics and more. For instance the comic font may not be the right choice for an image that is professional.

It's understandable that it's too much information, particularly in the beginning. However, you don't have stress about anything if you have the in-house design experts. They complete all the work, so that you can concentrate on your business.

Composition is important: Design elements, if properly placed are able to complement one another. Some people think that appealing design is subjective. This may be so, however, there are some basic rules that are applicable to the design. Some of the most frequent errors include elements that are too crowded or crowded. This can cause the entire design off balance. If you're not attentive your text may appear all over the place and cause damage to the artwork. Test a few elements and designs, and then take a look at the results.

Image quality: a problem when designing for customers is poor resolution of the images. This causes poor print quality due to the lack of pixel information. Make sure you use 200 dpi or greater 300 dpi is the best. Images downloaded from the web have a resolution of 72 dpi. This results in poor-quality artwork. Be aware that the print is only as clear as the image.

 Utilize vector images such as PDF, EPS AI or SVG since they don't lose quality and can be scaled up in any dimension.

The color is crucial when printing custom socks. The more colors you choose, the higher costs. The method is suitable for solid colors that have the limited palette. Select from a broad range of colors, and then use Pantone match for accurate color. Another alternative is to use DTG which is the best choice for more colors and has a low-cost project.

The temptation to use too many colors is tempting, but can render the design appear ugly. Make sure you strike an equilibrium, and stick to only the most basic colors. Be aware of these colors from the time you begin customizing since they impact people. Expert designers are aware of it. Do basic research about the concept of color.

Contrast is essential as it creates a visual contrast between lighter and darker areas that make up the layout. Contrast that is high-contrast is more obvious as low contrasts are less obvious. A striking design that is saturated with colours enhances the look against an uncluttered background. The highest contrast is not the primary aim of customized socks. Most people like subtle socks.

Common mistakes we encounter include such as navy blue on black or light gray on gray or ice gray on white and so on. We don't recommend these low-contrast combos. But, if it's important to you, do it.

Invert your image, particularly when printing on black fabric. This can cause the design to look like an x-ray image in the absence of a particular reason. When you require an image that is negative in order to change to the positive side, you must creating an outline of white. It is advised to get assistance from a professional unless you're an artist. Use lighter or darker materials.

Simply keep it simple and you'll have beautiful designs most of the time. Eyes can handle a limited amount of information in a short time and it takes significantly less when you wear socks. There is a right and a proper time to show your creativity, but don't be enticed constantly. Don't pile on design elements, bizarre angles and too many hues. This can create a complicated design. Retract your attention from the design and observe it from a distance. you can do this by zooming in on an LCD screen. If the design is difficult to understand, try simplifying it.

Utilize edges to enhance photos: A lot of designs include images and may look cheap, dull and not professional. One solution is to apply borders. Choose a slim black or white border to make the room appear more professional. Think about the topic whether it's for something personal, such as weddings, anniversaries and so on. It is possible that you would like some fancy edges. This will help to focus the style.
