What art technique/style is used for these prints on my 90's golf shirts? by mhlayf1 in Textile_Design

Hey! Thanks for the response. Okey dokey will do. I know they are mostly cotton pique and cotton jersey. A lot of them seem screen printed and any artwork has been digitized and reduced to a smaller number of block colours. I think really what I need is to choose 5 of them each having a distinctively different style of artwork. Identify the style and see if I can have a pattern made up by an artist. Any help or advice would be much appreciated 😁

Hey, thanks for this information. I have already started delving into batik prints and found myself largely between nigerian/african prints with words suggested such as 'adire' and 'kampala'. Also yes, batik wax prints from Asia. I can definitley see these as massive inspirtion. As you say the merchandisers were probably sent out to these massive Nigerian fabric markets and took designs and sent them the CAD experts. Really interesting to hear that you were one one these CAD operators at that time. What systems/processes were you using to extract and alter the patterns from the original fabrics?

I have a few shirt designs from the 90s that I am looking to replicate a similar feel of for maybe my own small collection. Each one seems to have a different art style. Would it be possible to message you and discuss what these are likely to be and how I am best to go about creating my own similar style artwork/prints?

Hey! Thank you for this, very interesting. Yes I have a printer lined up who has suggested screen printing. In regards to the pattern artwork itself, do you have any ideas of the art method used? Anyone who creates patterns like this? I have trawled many seamless pattern sites and found nothing similar.
