The points above are general picture guidelines, but when composing a picture for print on a fabric you must remember that fabric does not have the depth and color representation of photo paper to show the details. Fabric also has a matt finish so these additional points must be kept in mind.

1. Keep the T-shirt image less busy, meaning, focus on the car image, and less of background.

2. To minimize a hard edge around a square picture, have the picture blurred or faded around the edges so it fades into the fabric, This can be done by taking a straight edge and adding 10 pixels (on a 200 DPI) of fade, or even creating an irregular outline like a irregular cloud fading into a fabric.

3. Try to make the foreground bold colors "BOLD" so the car stands out.

4. Complement the picture with some descriptive text to further personalize it, even if it is just the year of the car, or if you are lucky to have 2 of more cars, even a saying such as "Just cant have one!"

5. Lastly, remember to add that small text at the bottom with your name for the added personal touch.

This is a brief list of things to consider, and in time your mind will run with the endless possibilities. Your biggest challenge will be to weed through those ideas, do some experimenting and pick the best ones.
