My school students want to design and sell tshirts, 11 oz mugs and various phone covers eg iphone 4s/5 and galaxy ones .. and couple of ipad 2 covers. We got a few of these as part of the deal from Coralgraph but we have no templates which is creating a massive problem at the moment. The students have tried very hard to design some but it is really not getting us anywhere...

Has anybody any free templates they could email me at all .. i can pm you my school email address if you want but that keeps blocking incoming mail and restricts to 10mb.. Otherwise maybe a kind person could put on a disk or something and post to school? Again pm if needs be.

The students are only 14 and running their own business having had a grant to set this up for a young enterprise thingie. The sublimation press is dangerous Health and Safety.. So I will have to do that and they do the taking orders from parents, kids, local business, design and basically keep any profit!! Nice eh....

We do not have access to any software other than Office ones (2003!) and Serif package eg draw, pageplus...

pCan anybody assist? Bear also that school network blocks so many sites for some reasons.. Sblimation ones especially as the filtering system does not recognise which category they belong do so have to keep asking the IT technician to unblock them manually.. Ideally some kind person donating some basic templates that work in serif would be BRILLIANT!! here's hoping?

this ma be good to you
but you will need at least GIMP to use them.

hi issy
the health and safty bit suprises me dont schools have pretty dangerous machinary in a metal work shop eg lathes brazing equip etc ?
any way your problem will come with software i doubt many on here use serif draw or office software to design but if the school has had a grant for this is there scope to purchase a sudent edition of for example photoshop? i believe you can get these very cheap around 20-40 quid i think at least that way you would find it easier to gain templates.
when you say templates do you mean a design or just the dimensions of for example a phone case.if its dimensions you need have you thought of photo copying a blank then you can create the design over the blank as a seperate layer.
what printer have you got? if its a ricoh once the power driver is installed this will print from almost any application inc office applications
hope that lot helps

Hi

Still struggling to find basic template... Need correct shape I guess more than anything, even a blank, that will work with Serif? Any free ones around???

as paul suggested you could download gimp for free and that will give you a start depending on which supplier your going to buy your phone cases from they maybe willing to send you templates hope the progect goes well

You should be able to produce your own basic templates in Serif drawplus, you can download a free version from their website.
