Design and Print a Skateboard Deck and T-Shirt
By: Mark Mayers
Today's tutorial will focus on creating a brand for a fictitious skate company and also applying graphics to a skate deck and T-shirt. We'll demonstrate how to achieve professional results every time – both items were actually printed using the tutorial techniques. For screen-print fanatics, there's an extra bonus; you'll discover how the Apply Image command enables you to create knockouts and error-free spot colors without the need for expensive RIP software.
I would especially like to thank Steve over at Advertees for printing the shirts and providing invaluable technical advice.

By: Mark Mayers
In today's tutorial we'll walk you through the process of producing all the elements that go into the making of a professionally produced CD. To start off we'll use Illustrator to produce a slick, calligraphy-style vector logo, then a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator to create print-ready artwork for a six-page tri-fold cover and lyric booklet as well as a reverse inlay card. Finally, to wrap up the packaging design you'll create the CD surface print artwork.
