Colours In Your Life

Filed under: News and Articles

Whether we accept it or not, the way we dress communicates something about us. Colours affect movement of our lives although most of the time colour choices are done unconsciously. We all have a favourite colour and often wear clothes of that colour. However, these colours are linked to our personality type, our strengths and weaknesses, as well as indicating our potential in life.

Here, we informed you on the significance of colours in fabrics and the clothes which we wear and you can learn what your favourite colour actually tells about your personality.

Often, in some cultures, we have certain beliefs on colour superstition. People believe that certain colours bring bad luck while some colours bring good luck. Many people also believe that there are appropriate colours for particular occasions. For example, the Chinese consider it bad luck to wear black on the first day of the Lunar Year as black symbolises death and should never be worn on such occasion.

Colours in your clothes

If you wear red

Red increases energy and is known to be the power color. You are very much impulsive, excitable and energetic. You are highly ambitious and want things to happen quickly when you want them to do so. You want to be the best in everything you do. You may be a little insensitive to the feelings of the other people, since you like to be the centre of attraction.

Learn to be a good listener. Red means vital force, with your nervous activity urging you to achieve results and be successful. If you make a habit of wearing red it may indicate you place importance on sexual desire and eroticism. This energy can be best used in the form of creative endeavor, leadership development and expansion.

You are courageous and extroverted, but tend to become irritable and ill tempered if you do not get your own way. Learn to be patient. Maroon and brick reds show you are fun loving, but be careful not to become resentful and feel victimised by the others.

If you wear pink

Pink is the sign of sensitivity and love. You have an affectionate, loving nature, which makes you sympathetic and understanding. You may lack willpower and show weakness when you are unable to control affairs of the heart.

You need a great deal of support from others and can sometimes behave like a child. You should learn to accept and love yourself. If you become more self-reliant you will attract and give out the feelings of warmth and love you desire.

If you wear orange, peach or apricot

Orange is the significance of stimulation. You are competent, self-oriented and impatient. You are also independent, an organizer and self-motivated. Orange is the colour of practicality and creativity. Your energy levels are high, and you are sometimes restless. You have a forceful will and tend to be active and competitive. You are also excitable and can seek domination over the others.

Bright orange and burnt orange can make you feel frustrated and blocked. Try wearing peach, which will direct your energy to the others in a more caring way.

If you wear yellow

Yellow is the significance of energy. You have an interesting and stimulating personality. You like to be active and involved in whatever is going on. Lively and vital, you can cope well with life’s challenges.

Bright yellow represents spontaneity and communication. You are active, inspiring and like to investigate. There is a desire and hope of greater happiness, which implies some minor conflict in which release is needed. Yellow presses forward to the new, modern, the developing and uniformed, and drawn in ideas from the" higher mind".

Keeping Up with Trends in Girls Fashion

Filed under: News and Articles

One of the most important things to girls is fashion, particularly if a girl is in her teens and going to college where the majority of people talks and wears the latest trends and styles everyday. Here are some suggestions and tips on girls fashion, which will help you to stay up with the fashion trend throughout the year.

The majority of designers will take out at least two collections per year, spring and fall, while the rest will introduce four; spring, summer, fall and winter. With numerous different styles and unique designs for boys, girl, men and women you will notice that first and foremost it is very challenging to stay up with every seasonal trend for one primary reason; all styles do not work for everyone.

How many times have you watched a fashion show and thought; who can wear that dress besides a model. The reality of this is that some of those styles that are shown are made specifically for modeling purposes only and the entire selection is slightly different than what you actually see on the runway. Nevertheless, the number one most important rule is to wear clothes that suit your weight, height, character and personality.

Tips on Organizing Your Wardrobe

Filed under: News and Articles

Clearing out your wardrobe can be a grueling task but you know it’s long overdue and no one else is going to volunteer for the role. It’s one of those items on the ‘to do’ list that never actually gets done until you lose a favourite item of clothing amongst the clutter.

So, here are some stress free tips on organising your wardrobe. Professional wardrobe consultants exist, what an awful job, but with these tips you shouldn’t need one.

Objectivity goes out the window and irrational behaviour takes over when it comes to sorting out clothes. We know we will never wear some of the garments we keep hold off but we just can’t seem to part with them. I suggest roping a friend, the one who tells it like it is, to help you discard the clothes that are simply wrong.

The best method is to separate the clothes into 3 piles. These consist of the keep pile - clothes that fit well, are not worn out and are worn frequently. The maybe pile includes clothes that you don’t wear very often or clothes that never seem to go out of style.

The last pile is the goodbye pile. As you are probably aware, this consists of clothes that are ill fitting, old or those that make your friend say ‘what possessed you to buy that’? After you have your 3 mountains of clothes, you should return to the maybe pile and consider the items on that pile again.

One thing which has to examined before the shopping is to have a glance at your wardrobe and if you have too many T-shirts filled than you could probably go for a jacket to break the monotony of your wardrobe.

Basics of Teen Clothing
A Jeans

A cool pair of jeans can add a great deal of difference to one’s wardrobe. A rugged pair of blue colored jeans can go along with any top be it a Kurti, a T shirt. The amazing advantage of a jeans in a wardrobe could be that it need not be crisp and new always and even an old pair would give a stone washed look giving its own look unlike other clothes because as they fade we need to stop wearing them.

How to Get Your Custom T-shirts Printing Job Done Fast

Filed under: q-gifts

Here is a few tips for people looking for fast turnaround screen printed t-shirts. (These advises are for people looking for fast screen printed t-shirts instead of digitally printed t-shirts. Digitally printed t-shirts are done in a different process than screen print t-shirts, they have the advantage in speeding up the process since they do not need color separation and screen burning process. However screen printed t-shirts have better imprint color quality as well as better imprint longevity.)

Here is a check list for you to speed up your custom t-shirts job.

How ready is your artwork? Artwork can be categorized into 2 groups based on their origins. First are scanned images and second are computer generated images. In the first group, paintings, photographs, printed materials or the similar are scanned and save as digital files of your artwork. Quality of your digital artwork has a lot to do with your scanning resolution. Normal requirement is 300 dpi (dot per inch). However keep in mind that your reproductions will not be better than your originals. So no matter how high your scanning resolution is, you are simply not getting a better reproduction image if your original is not. So in a nutshell for people using this group of artwork, find the best quality original you can. Scan it at 300 dpi or better. Save it and send it to your printer without re-sizing it. The file size of your scanned image will potentially be big. However, supportive printer should be able to accommodate your file sending by either increasing the mail box size or arrange a FTP transfer for you. In the second group, computer generated images, we have 2 sub-groups which are raster images and vector images. Raster images are resolution dependant images such formats as tiff, jpg, psd.

The only requirement for this group is to make sure they are created in actual imprint size (or close to actual imprint size), and are in 300 dpi as original resolution (not resample resolution). The file size of this sub-group is potentially big, make sure you talk to your printers about the size of your artwork file before sending. The second sub-group is called vector based images such formats as ai, eps. They are resizable, non-resolution dependent artwork. Their file size are usually reasonable. They are very welcome by most printers due to their non-resolution dependent nature. When you submit vector based images, just make sure you create outlines for your type (so your printer won’t run into missing font problem when opening your artwork), your image is created at actual size or close to actual size. And of course if you have a printer who is knowledgeable and capable in preparing artwork for you for a reasonable cost, that could be your best bet in making sure you don’t waste time going back and forth on artwork format and requirement with your printer.

Do you know the type of shirts you want? There are many choices of shirts you can get . Make sure you did your homework and know what you want when placing an order for your custom t-shirts. If you just want basic t-shirts, it is pretty simple. Even though there are many brands of basic t-shirts, they are normally in 2 classes of fabric weight, 5.6 oz and 6.1 oz. Then you have pocket and non-pocket t-shirts for each weight, as well as long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts. Beside basic t-shirts, you will have fashion fitting t-shirts such as American Apparel and Tultex, these are slimmer fitting than the basic t-shirts. They are in ring-spun 30 single fine jersey fabric, meaning softer and finer fabric. Then we have even more choices for girls and ladies t-shirts such as cap sleeve, raglan 3/4 sleeve, scoop neck, boys beater tank tops, baby doll spaghetti, ringer t-shirts, camouflage t-shirts etc…

Do you research on t-shirt styles ahead of time will not only save you time, it will allow you to find the best style for your event.

If your custom t-shirts job requires individual names or numbers printed (such as team numbers), prepare a list to indicate the names or numbers and their sizes to expedite the process.

If there is dead line to meet, make sure your printer is aware of it as well as taken shipping time into consideration.

If you are under press of time and without artwork. Ask if your printer has any kind of ready art library that you can pick and ask them to modify to fit your requirement. It will be much faster than having yourselves starting from scratch.

Give your printer the Pantone number to indicate your imprint color when submitting your t-shirts order. This will save some time in communication and help speeding up your order.

Your printer should provide a paper proof for you to review the accuracy of your custom screen print t-shirt order. As soon as you finish your review, get back to your printer immediately so they can process your order right away.

Last but not least, there are shipping options such as 3-day select, 2nd day air and next day air to accommodate your need in speed. Ask for full price quote with different shipping options from your printer.

Color Changing Heavyweight T-shirt

Filed under: q-gifts

Color changing technology by PhotoChromic inks has been around the custom screen print and advertising industries for over a decade. The reason that this technology is still very popular among advertisers in custom screen print industry is the magical transformation of colors. This series of PhotoChromic colors come in basic colors such as red, blue, yellow, green and purple. When these colors are indoor and not exposed to ultraviolet light, they are almost colorless. However, when they are exposed to ultraviolet light (including sunlight) they will gradually turn into their own colors. The stronger light and longer expose duration, the higher the intensity of the colors. And of course there are limits as everything else, the colors will not increase their intensity after they reach their limits. PhotoChromic inks work the best with white t-shirts. However they also work with light color t-shirts such as natural. You would also want to take advantage of the magical color change by screen printing only a black and white image for the indoor image and leaves all the colors as PhotoChromic colors so they will only appear outdoor. In this way you optimize the color transformation between a black and white image and a full color image. We recommend PhotoChromic’s color changing technology for all outdoor events on t-shirts, sweatshirts and sportshirts. Imagine when your guests witness the magical color change. For sure that’s going to leave a long impression to them.
