In the mystical realm of creativity, every design tells a story. For our latest release, the Tarot Card Graphic Tee, we drew inspiration from the art of divination—infusing the design with symbols of self-reflection, intuition, and destiny. From the initial spark of inspiration to the final printed piece, this tee was crafted with the intention of encouraging wearers to embrace their inner mystic and navigate their path with confidence.


The Spark of Inspiration – Channeling the Cards

Every tarot reading begins with a question, and for this design, we asked: What does it mean to truly know oneself? The answer revealed itself through timeless symbols—the eye of intuition, celestial bodies representing guidance, and hands holding the threads of fate.

We studied the mystical iconography of tarot decks, blending classic elements like the sun, moon, and stars with modern graphic lines to create a design that feels both ethereal and edgy. The result is a tee that invites self-discovery—like drawing a card from the deck and interpreting its message.




The Design – Weaving Symbols into Style

Just as a tarot spread reveals a larger narrative, every detail of this tee carries significance:


  • The All-Seeing Eye: Representing inner wisdom and heightened perception, it symbolizes the wearer’s ability to see beyond the surface.

  • The Cosmic Hands: Cradling celestial orbs, these hands symbolize the power to shape one’s own fate.

  • Celestial Accents: Stars, planets, and lunar phases evoke the mystery of the universe, reminding us that we are part of something greater.

  • Elegant Linework: Clean, intricate lines mimic the detailing of vintage tarot cards, creating a wearable work of art.




The Production – From Vision to Reality

Like the careful shuffle of a deck, the production process was all about precision and intention. We selected The District Wash Tee, a premium, soft-wash tee in a deep, moody color—a canvas fit for a reading of cosmic proportions. The screen printing process ensured that the fine details of the design came through with clarity, allowing each symbol to stand out like a card drawn under candlelight.


To elevate the experience, we added custom hang tags with a sticker to match the shirt design and a QR code leading to this very blog. To step it up from our previous graphic tees, we added an extra retail touch to this shirt with a private label printed on the inner neck of the t-shirt, adding even more customization to our brand...and an extra space to share more creative messaging!


After we added on hang tags and private labels, we packed up each tshirt in a custom poly mailer to add one final piece of creative real estate. After all, packaging is going to give the first impression when a gift is received, so we always make the most of it!




The Reveal – Wearing Your Destiny

Just as tarot cards offer guidance, the Tarot Card Graphic Tee serves as a reminder to trust your intuition, embrace self-discovery, and chart your own course. Whether you wear it for style or as a subtle talisman of personal empowerment, this tee is more than apparel—it’s your symbol of inner strength!
