What is a custom clothing/product design system?
A custom product/clothing design system allows users to place a design, image, embroidery, or artwork on another product, such as a cup, t-shirt, garment, bag, cap, sweater, etc. The custom shopping cart system takes the image that the customer wants to place and shows them a preview of how that image will look on their desired item. This custom shopping cart system at times can also change the color of the product dynamically (such as clicking to change the t-shirt from red to black), can place text on the product (such as "Happy Anniversary"), and is able to allow the user to upload their custom image to place on a garment.
Technology required for a custom product/garment/clothing design system
There are several options in how you execute your custom design system. There is the PHP jQuery Imagik method which is how we built our script. There are also many Flash based designers out there.
PHP Using jQuery, GD Library and ImageMagick: This option is cleaner and easier to integrate into shopping carts. GD Library for PHP has many useful features that can be integrated into the design script. Among some of the most useful new features are alpha channels. An alpha channel is basically a selection in your image that allows you to put one image on top of another image without seeing the extra border of the image. Many images are not boxes, but rather text, or perhaps an asymetrycal design. Your alpha channel can be saved to the image in Photoshop and used as your image border rather than being a square block.
Advantages:
+ Loads faster
+ Works on the iPhone and iPad since they don't support Flash
+ Cleaner to code and implement
Disadvantages
- Takes longer to develop this system over a Flash system
Flash & Flash Actionscripting: Most online designers out there are based on Flash since only recently has it been possible to build a designer outside of flash.
Advantages:
+ Faster to program/develop
Disadvantages
- Harder to integrate into the shopping cart code
- Takes longer to load
