After our previous tutorials, you may be curious how people print t-shirts with multiple color layers. You could follow our tutorial here, or you could visit this tutorial and get cheap and easy plans to build a DIY printing press at home (if you have enough space). This set-up is very similar to what professionals use for a fraction of the price.

Clay has posted some great tutorials about some of the finer details of screen printing that are very helpful. In order to give you the whole picture, I wanted to post this tutorial that goes a little in depth on how to set up a file for a multi-layer screen print. This may seem daunting at first, but once you get working it is very intuitive.
Here is a nice primer on the process. This isn’t an easy piece, but gives you a ton of great info. I would like to possibly touch on this a bit in the beginning of our tutorial as a secondary option to hand painting or perhaps do a follow up.
A Beautiful Mess has this fun notepad tutorial. I love how simple it is and how the photos are clear enough that reading the text is not necessary, although it does add additional information.
Revised Instruction “How To Run A Great Marathon”
My tutorial needs better photos in general so I went to a 10k race this weekend to take additional photos. Since I don’t have a DSLR camera, it was still hard to get a shot that I wanted to include in this instruction. It takes some practice taking good photos of a moving object or people. I know that a team photographer of the Dashing Whippets Racing Team (I recently joined but I haven’t raced any with the team) has some amazing photos, so I asked for a permission to use his photos. I added inspirational quotes,additional links along with few roll over squares on photos to make the tutorial more engaging. However, no one commented on this so It apparently still needs more work 😉
I found this “How Not To Run Your First 5k or 10k” instruction very funny. The author used comment boxes to make this instruction more humorous and enjoyable. Running instruction is usually writing heavy, so I will try to add more humor to my instruction.
This tutorial by Design Aglow is very clear and straight forward in its directions. I really like the alternative binding options that she provides. The photos have a wonderful depth of field, are well lit and have fun backgrounds.

I like this tutorial because it’s so concise that it’s a bit unreal (although the photo is quite lacking). But it’s still basically the same as mine, so I’ve gone back to dramatically simplify my own tutorial.
I really like this tutorial on Design Love Fest. The photos are well lighted and informative, and the paper adds fun, bright colors to the photos. I especially like the opening image gif; it shows off the final product really well.

I like this tutorial mainly because he was very concise on the forming of the gyozas. I took a very long-winded, start-from-the-basics approach but I think it was unnecessary. He smartly used 4-quandrant photos to quickly show the process of forming, which I think makes the process seem easier while keeping it sufficiently explanatory for the readers to understand.
Nice tutorial creating a cross eyed viewing Stereogram in Photoshop. The screens are exhaustive but helpful and the layout is clear. What is quite nice is the time estimate that the tutorial gives at the beginning.
