Questionnaire results

The most common responses were...

Make a lot, not just one! Is it fair to say that price is a concern?

The survey results showed that price was the most common result.

• If it is expensive, I would rather buy it than make it, so if possible, I would like something inexpensive and made of good fabric. (20s / Female / Other professional)
• If it's just a T-shirt, lower-price is more convenient and it doesn't have to last that long. (40s / Female / Other professional)
• When making Custom T-shirts, the price is important because it is often a large group. (20's / Female / Housewife)
• If I wanted a very complicated design, would the price be higher or the same (40s / Male / Part-time job)

Perhaps because they are often made by large groups of people, price seems to be a concern, and it is no wonder that people say it is better to buy them because if they are not inexpensive, they will cost a considerable amount of money. Also, T-shirts may have an image of being inexpensive to begin with. It is natural to be concerned about the price, since the price of complicated designs may vary depending on the store.

Color changes your image! Choosing colors that make sense for men and women...

The survey results showed that there were two tied for second place, one of which was tints.

• I think it is necessary to be careful not to create an imbalance between the color of the clothes, the color of the design, and the color of the text. (20s / Male / Student)
• I think color selection is important because a little bit of color makes the atmosphere of the design look different. (20s / Female / Company employee)
• When I make T-shirts for co-ed classes, boys and girls don't have the same color preferences. (50s / Female / Housewife)

It is evident that there are a surprisingly large number of areas where color is used, such as the color of clothing, design, and text. The difference in coloring can change the overall atmosphere, so it is an important factor. Also, because of the large number of people, it is easy for men and women to have different tastes, and it seems that they try to avoid using colors that are offensive to each other, especially when they are young students.

Where should I put it? And stick to your shoulders and arms!

The results of the survey showed a tie for second place in terms of where to put the design.

• Because the finished product will look completely different depending on where you put it in. (20's / Female / Part-time job)
• I'm wondering where to put it, in the front or in the back, in the middle or on the edge. (30's / Female / Company employee)
• In the past, it was standard to put it in the center of the body, but nowadays it is possible to put it only on the back or even on the shoulders. If I go to the trouble of making one, I want to be particular about where I put it. (30s / Female / freelance)

It is no wonder that people have a hard time deciding where to place the design, as it can make a big difference in the way it looks. The main design is determined by whether it is in the front or in the back, and in the case of a small one-pointed design, whether it is on the shoulder or on the arm, etc. It seems to be a difficult task that requires a good sense of whether it should stand out or not.

Fancy or simple? More importantly, it's about being memorable and original!

The survey results showed that the pattern received the fewest number of votes, although it was very close.

• A too detailed design would be too cluttered, so I prefer something simple and original. (50s / Female / freelance)
• I want it to be something that everyone can see is original. I want something a little flashy and prominent. (30s / male / office worker)
• I want to carefully consider the pattern because I think it will be a keepsake, and I want a pattern that is easy to use at home (30s / Female / Housewife)

As for the pattern, the respondents' preferences are simple or flashy, indicating that it is difficult to choose a pattern that they like. However, they all agree that the pattern should be recognizable as an original, and if it can be made to look original, it will be a good commemorative gift, and they may like it.

The only one in the world! That alone is well worth it.

Many of the respondents were of the opinion that the most important part of the custom T-shirts design was the price, due to the particulars and the large number of shirts. Other factors such as the color, the place to put the design, and the pattern were not so different as the number of votes, and all of them seem to be important factors. Since Custom T-shirts are worn by everyone and are unique in the world, deciding on a design can be a difficult and worrisome process. However, since it will be a commemorative item, if you can incorporate something that will be relevant to everyone who will wear it, it may be worthwhile, convey your feelings, and make it easier for people to like it.
