Smartphone apps that allow you to design your own t-shirt have been knocking around for a while without making much of an impact. Most of them are clumsy and have failed to catch the imagination of the sizeable audience of t-shirt enthusiasts. Of course you want something printed properly then it is better to go to the professionals. If only you knew of some really cool online t-shirt printing guys…
So what is new about Uniqlo’s ‘design your own t-shirt’ app? Uniqlo have stated that it is different to the other design your own t-shirt apps because it is much easier to use. The app, named UT Me, allows for a lot of different styles and effects with a shake action that distorts your design making it a little edgier. Uniqlo are also one of the biggest companies to launch an app like this and therefore will have a much wider audience to engage with. Although the app and printing service is only available in Japan right now, the t-shirt brand will surely measure it’s success and consider rolling it out in other parts of the world soon.
