Open Illustrator and create a 1200*1200 artboard for the pattern and a 600*600 artboard for the swatch (if its variable product).

1- Adjust your artwork to cover the whole pattern artboard area, you can use our illustrator template file with the product reference to have a better view of your artwork and product reference.

2- Do the same for the swatch artboard.

3- Save in 300DPI.

Open the psd file called WeInkThat-Mens-Tshirt-Design-Template.psd,

 The file consists of the following self explanatory folders:

1. Womens Front
   • Overlay/Shadows
   • PLACE ARTWORK HERE
   • Product Colors
2. Womens Back
   • Overlay/Shadows
   • PLACE ARTWORK HERE
   • Product Colors
3. Mens Front
   • Overlay/Shadows
   • PLACE ARTWORK HERE
   • Product Colors
4. Mens Back
   • Overlay/Shadows
   • PLACE ARTWORK HERE
   • Product Colors
5. Top View
   • Overlay/Shadows
   • PLACE ARTWORK HERE
   • Product Colors
6. Floor

You should place your artwork created in the first step in the PLACE ARTWORK HERE folder adjusting its borders to cover the whole mockup. Now you can copy and paste it in the other product views.

Now expand the Product Colors folder and select one of the color layers that best fits your artwork or create one of your own. Remember to replicate these colors for all the other views(unless your artwork requires otherwise).

Now you can export all your Product Views, these will be used as the mockups, gallery images and featured images of your product.

There are 2 product options available, 

Simple Product: Has no color variations, these means a user cannot select a different color from the one the product was uploaded with. These are the required files:

1- Mens Front.png

2- Mens Back.png

3- Womens Front.png

4- Womens Back.png

5- Top View.png

Variable Product: Has color variations, requires the same files as a Simple Product plus your Artwork in a transparent layer. This type of product will be layered like in photoshop by our web design team, you just need to upload the required files and select Variable Product when uploading it in your Dashboard. Required Files:

1- Mens Front.png

2- Mens Back.png

3- Womens Front.png

4- Womens Back.png

5- Top View.png

6- Transparent Mens Front – Variable Product Exclusive

To create your transparent layers, just disable the Product Colors and Overlay / Shadows folders before exporting the Mens Front and Womens Front views.
