Customized Girl Tips: Utilizing AI For Your Custom T-Shirt Designs

June 21, 2023June 21, 2023 CustomizedGirl Leave a comment

Hey there, fashionistas and creative souls! If you’re anything like me, you love rocking unique and eye-catching t-shirts that promote your statements to the world. But sometimes, the struggle of coming up with just how to design those tees can be real. Fear not, because today we’re here to spill the beans on how you can harness the power of AI to unlock your creative genius and create some seriously awesome tees. Let’s dive in!

Embrace AI-Powered Design Tools: Gone are the days of staring blankly at your computer screen, hoping for a stroke of inspiration. AI-powered design tools are here to save the day! Platforms like Customized Girl, Canva or Placeit offer a range of pre-designed elements and templates that can be customized to suit your style. Some even utilize AI algorithms to suggest design combinations, colors, and typography options that work well together. So, let the machines do the heavy lifting and start playing around with these tools to spark your imagination.
Explore Image Recognition: Sometimes, all it takes is a single image to trigger a brilliant t-shirt idea. AI-based image recognition tools like Google’s reverse image search or Pinterest’s visual search can help you find inspiration by analyzing and suggesting visually similar images. For example, if you have an image of a cute panda, these tools can find similar images and give you a fresh perspective on how to incorporate pandas into your design. So, get clicking and let the AI algorithms surprise you with unexpected connections.
Leverage Sentiment Analysis: AI isn’t just about visuals; it can also help you tap into emotions and sentiments. Sentiment analysis tools like MonkeyLearn or Lexalytics can analyze text from social media, reviews, or comments to understand the emotions associated with different topics. So, if you’re looking to create designs that resonate with a particular vibe or message, you can use these tools to gain insights into trending sentiments and popular themes. It’s a fantastic way to stay in tune with your target audience and ensure your tees strike a chord with the masses.
Collaborate with AI-Generated Text: Are you struggling to come up with catchy slogans or witty one-liners for your apparel designs? AI-generated text can be your secret weapon! Tools like ChatGPT or Copy.ai can generate creative text suggestions based on your input. You can give them a few keywords or prompts, and they’ll whip up a variety of options for you to choose from. Whether you’re looking for puns, inspirational quotes, or pop culture references, these AI buddies will have your back. Just remember to sprinkle your own personal touch and refine the suggestions to make them truly unique.
Analyze Social Media Trends: Social media is a goldmine of ideas and trends waiting to be discovered. AI-powered social listening tools like Hootsuite or Brandwatch can monitor conversations, hashtags, and trends across various platforms. By analyzing the data, you can identify emerging topics, memes, or cultural references that are buzzing in the digital world. Capitalize on these trends by creating tees that tap into the current zeitgeist, making your designs relevant and relatable to your audience.

Remember, while AI can be an amazing tool for inspiration, it’s essential to infuse your personal touch and creativity into your designs. Let the AI algorithms guide you, but don’t forget to put your unique stamp on the final product.

So, my fellow custom apparel enthusiasts, it’s time to embrace the power of AI and level up your novelty tee game. With these tips in your arsenal, you’ll be designing the coolest and most unique t-shirts around. Unleash your imagination, experiment fearlessly, and wear your creativity proudly!

The Ultimate Guide For Choosing Your Perfect Size

March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 CustomizedGirl Leave a comment

Shopping for clothes online has become a common practice many for years, but even more so since the pandemic. As an online custom apparel retailer, we know the struggles that come with not knowing what size to order. To make things easier when you order from our website, we’re sharing some helpful tips to ensure you are choosing the right size and fit for you.

Compare your measurements to the size chart on our site

To get an accurate size, your best bet is to find a similar item you own and love at home, lay it flat, measure it in inches, then match those measurements to the manufacturer’s recommended Size Chart.

You can find the Size Chart for each product under Product Info in the design center.

See what other customers are saying

Oftentimes, the best way to figure out what size to order is by taking recommendations from others who have purchased the same item. Under Product Info, there is a sliding scale where it shows what our customers are telling us about the fit of the item, whether it runs small, fits perfect, or runs large.

Read the Sizing and Material Notes

More information regarding sizing is in the Sizing and Material Notes for each product under the Product Info tab. Always reference this section to learn more about specific measurements and the contents of the material to determine fit.

Explore which styles fit best for you

Do you ever see something online you like and wonder if it’ll look good on you? We created a list that explains each style we have so you never have to wonder again.

We offer six different fits for Tops:

Slim Fit	These shirts are cut to fit closer to the body and they run small.
Relaxed Fit	When compared to Slim Fit, Relaxed Fit shirts are cut with a more generous fit, which means they will fit more like a basic t-shirt. Compared to a Unisex shirt, a Misses fit tends to have shorter sleeves and a more feminine cut.
Flowy	As the name implies, these shirts offer a flowy, loose fit that works with almost all body types. They are also very trendy.
Plus Size	These shirts are true plus sizes. They come in 1X – 4X (some retailers would label these as Plus 1 – Plus 4).
Unisex	These are in our Mens/Unisex Tops section. These shirts offer a roomy fit for all genders.
Maternity	These shirts are for pregnant women.

We hope this guide was helpful for your next Customized Girl purchase. Of course, if you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service team. Happy Shopping!

Community Outreach: Moms2B

March 3, 2022March 3, 2022 CustomizedGirl Leave a comment

Giving back to our community is an ongoing objective of ours at Customized Girl. When we got word that there was a local organization that helps mothers in need we knew we had to reach out and give back to such a charitable group. Read on to hear more about Moms2B.

On their website, Moms2B describes themselves as “…an innovative, community-based pregnancy program for low-income women established by The Ohio State University in 2010.” Moms2B has a number of objectives they aim to achieve with their efforts including:

Improve the health status of at-risk communities
Empower pregnant women to deliver full-term, healthy babies
Reduce the number of low birthweight infants
Reduce infant mortality
Eliminate racial and economic disparities

We wanted to learn a little more about this wonderful organization and to help them get their message out there we asked them a few questions. See their responses below.

Question: How was the Moms2B program started?
Answer: Moms2B began in September 2010, Dr. Pat Gabbe and Twinkle French Schottke started the program with just two pregnant Moms in Grace Missionary Baptist Church in Weinland Park with a goal to reduce infant mortality. We realized at that time that Black babies were dying at a rate of 3 to 1 over White babies. We met and still meet pregnant Moms weekly where they were use the term CPR = Consistent, Predictable and Reliable. We are non-judgemental, listen more than talk to develop trust over time. In the past 11 years, we have seen over 3400 births and have experienced life and learned of the struggles of being in high-risk situations. Our Moms teach us each week how to be resilient and survive in difficult situations.

Question: How can expecting mothers apply for help they need either through Moms2B or other assistance organizations?
Answer: They can call our office at 614-292-1506 or message us on Facebook www.Facebook.com/Moms2BOhio or Moms2B@osumc.edu

Question: What other programs or services does Moms2B recommend for expecting mothers?
Answer: The criteria for being in Moms2B is that Mom is pregnant and lives in Franklin or Montgomery Counties. We partner with many programs in both counties to make sure the family’s needs are met.

Question: What can we as a community do to help achieve the aims and goals of Moms2B?
Answer: We always need more volunteers and advocates to help pregnant Moms, donations of new or gently used items, and monetary donations.

Question: How can people help the Moms2B program other than donating money?
Answer: Donate to the Moms2B Fund or Shop our Amazon Wishlist

Question: What other information would you like people to know about your organization?
Answer: If you are interested in making a difference for pregnant Moms who live in historically disadvantaged areas we would love to work with you, please contact us. 614-292-1506 or message us on Facebook www.Facebook.com/Moms2BOhio or Moms2B@osumc.edu

In honor of all the work Moms2B has done for the central Ohio area, Customized Girl decided to donate some 200 baby hats, bodysuits, and blankets to the organization which they can pass on to the mothers they help. We’re proud to support the Moms2B organization and look forward to their continued success.
