Ray is pleasant and passionate. In this course he provides content that is interesting, relatable and informative. He has an extensive background in design and impressive familiarity of the processes and products involved in creating a t-shirt. This was a valuable introduction to t-shirt design.

A good introduction to the process of making a t-shirt and what to expect in a professional environment. As someone who plans to work in this field in the future, I feel more prepared and ready to move forward with those plans after finishing this course.

By Gabriel Tortomano on 5/8/2020

Great course!, kind of short. I would've loved to see more of the printing process since the course is an hour long. nevertheless, great information, and great for beginers. Thank you!

By Mark Cutler on 6/14/2020

This course is old and unfortunately I do not think Ray is as committed as he was in the beginning. Great designers but poorly manages his students. Please do not bother replying to my questions I figured out on my own.

By Kate McKay on 5/27/2020

Ray's delivery was engaging and clear - I especially enjoyed the history of the t-shirt and all of the visual references he provided along with the technical basics. I highly recommend this course for anyone who's thinking of making their own tshirt designs (like me) and wants to learn about the fabric, printing , wash etc options out there.

By Marcus Bainbridge on 5/21/2020

Nice quick overview for some of the basic ideas of what t-shirt printing actually involves as well as some of the history

By Adam Murphy on 6/23/2020

A great primer for t-shirt printing. I appreciate the history and the practical knowledge.
It's a pretty short course, but there's no filler. 100% good content.

By Shawn Vesper on 4/24/2020

Great information about the process and set up of printing a t-shirt. Not just, make a design and send it away to a printer. I also like the idea of buying a home print kit and getting your hands dirty so that you really understand how the process works. I remember actually doing this in high school years ago and it was fun and I'm thinking of doing this with my kids. We've already done tie-dye together, so why not screen printing? Look forward to the other courses that continue the process of t-shirt designing.
