Design T-Shirts and Mockups Easily with Midjourney

Midjourney is a powerful tool. You can use it to create amazing images. This includes designs and mockups for t-shirts.

Forget downloading mockups from other sites. You can create your own right inside Midjourney. This guide shows you how to get started.

Create T-Shirt Mockups

The first step is often creating a shirt mockup. This is a picture of a blank shirt on a model or by itself. You can place your design on this later.

Making a Realistic Black T-Shirt Mockup

You can ask Midjourney to create specific types of mockups. Here is a prompt idea for a classic black tee:

• Prompt idea: [P]make mockup woman realistic on a gildan 64000 black no writing or image on the shirt[/P]

This prompt tells Midjourney exactly what you want: a realistic photo, a woman model, a specific type of shirt (like Gildan 64000 is mentioned), the color black, and that it should be blank.

Midjourney will then give you image options based on this request. You can pick the one you like best and save it.

Try Different Mockup Styles

You are not limited to one style. You can change the prompt to get different results.

• Prompt idea: [P]ultra realistic Unreal Engine empty black t-shirt on male mockup in white wall background[/P]

This prompt creates a different style. It asks for an ultra-realistic look, specifies a male model, and sets the background. Changing details in your prompt changes the final image.

With Midjourney, you can quickly make many different mockup styles without needing outside graphics.

To make creating many mockups or designs faster, consider using automation. The Midjourney Automation Suite can help you speed up your workflow.

Getting T-Shirt Design Ideas

Midjourney isn't just for mockups. You can also use it to create the design graphics themselves. Think about the kind of image you want on the shirt and describe it.

If you want a bold graphic, describe the subject, style, and any specific elements.

• Prompt idea: [P]gangster wild wolf in hoodie and baseball cap with the words Fang Gang in red[/P]

This prompt is for a specific, detailed graphic. Midjourney will give you images that match this description. You can then take the best image and place it onto your blank t-shirt mockup or use it directly for printing.

Making Blank T-Shirt Mockups for Adding Designs

Sometimes you just need a photo of a blank shirt, maybe with a simple background, so you have space to add your graphic later in another program.

• Prompt idea: [P]blank t-shirt mocha background copy space[/P]

This prompt is simple and asks for a blank shirt image with a mocha colored background, leaving room for adding content. This is great if you sell designs where customers add their own text or images.

What to Do with Your Designs and Mockups

Once you create designs and mockups in Midjourney, you own the images. You can use them for many things:

• Showcasing your t-shirt designs on your own website or social media.

• Creating product images for online stores.

• Selling the blank mockups themselves on platforms like Freepik or Adobe Stock.

• Using the design graphics for actual t-shirt printing.

Midjourney makes it easy to generate assets for your t-shirt business or hobby.

Managing many design ideas and mockups manually can take time. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite to see how you can streamline creating and managing your t-shirt design projects.

Summary

Midjourney is a helpful tool for anyone making t-shirt designs or needing mockups. You can use simple text prompts to create many different images. You can make realistic mockups of shirts on models, generate graphic ideas for printing, or create simple blank mockups. This saves time and gives you control over your creative process.
