Finding great idea to effectively create, design, and print cheap custom t-shirts, is sometimes the hardest part of the creation process. Brainstorming is a good first step to making an original t shirt design that you will actually want to promote. If you need to come up with an idea and have a roadblock, here are a few free places that can inspire great ideas for t-shirt design.

- Social news sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. They have tons of random information that is usually funny, punny, or satirical and sure for a few good ideas you can spin-off of.

- Topic-relevant forums. If you are creating a t-shirt for an accounting firm, look in an accounting forum! All the recent news (and jokes) about your subject will be covered in a subject specific forum which can make for a highly relevant and non-generic cheap custom t-shirts.

- Go to a public place with a friend and talk too loud. Crowd sourcing is an awesome way to get great ideas. Some of the best ideas can be suggested by complete strangers who overhear your conversation and want to help! Especially if it is something fun like custom t-shirt design. Remember be friendly and encouraging and you can get the whole room offering suggestions!

Once you get a good idea the next step is to figure out how to communicate your idea well in the design of your t-shirts. One way to hone your design skills is by asking yourself some questions about the idea. Then, once you get a good feel for what you are trying to portray, making a simple design using free tools on the web is a lot easier and less time consuming.

- Some questions you might ask are what is the overall feeling that the idea portrays? Are you promoting a brand or declaring membership in an organization? What is the purpose of the t-shirt? Are words going to be included in the t-shirt and how far away do you want people to be able to read the words?

- Use a free design tool available on the web that offers simplicity and ease of use. There are a number of easy to use design tools available; some are even available within the t-shirt printing sites! Do a quick search engine query to find cheap custom t-shirt design tool that will allow you to export the images you create!

- Look through public domain and royalty free images available on different websites. In many cases websites have a stock library of images that they have already licensed and you can use royalty free.

- When looking for a cheap custom t-shirt printer there are a number of factors that can influence the price: t-shirt quality, printing type, inks used, shipping, and when you need the order delivered.

- To lower the price of the custom t-shirt, look for any deal a t-shirt printing company is offering or for coupon codes that might be available online. Usually digital printing of t-shirts is cheaper than custom t-shirt screen printing (unless you are only using one color ink for the design). Also, if you are flexible on the date you need your shirts by, some printers are able to fit you in at their convenience and can perhaps offer you a better deal.
