Building a foundation
I was happy to find out that the team has already been talking to their target audience and had a lot of insight so it was only a matter of consolidating the findings to form a strong foundation. Both of these documents guided our decisions during the rest of the project.
To start, Print Lions needed to build there online designer for DTF, DTG projects since this printing process can print in full color. There is no need for color separations and or ink color selections. This is the latest in printing technologies and they didnt want to be held back.

The UI Experience
Allowing users to upload their files was just the beginning for this project. Print Lions phase one requirements where to allow their users to pick garment colors, input desired sizes and review their artwork.
Building a design system was important for this type of project to allow their developers easily build out features without having too many dependencies on design.
