Hi
I am designing a T Shirt for my ski club.
I have taken an image from a banner (made in illustrator, full colour image attached) and I want to devide into a 3 colour image for the t shirt (I am only allowed 3 colours for printing).
The colours I want to use are black, white and purple. The colour of the t shirt is a light blue.
I want to then put the purple logo on top of the white and black too.
So I'm after a black and white grunge background with a punchy purple logo on the top.
All of this should be on a tranparent or, for design purposes, light bue (same as T Shirt colour) background.
So my question is how to split a full colour image into using only 3 (4 including transparent/light blue background) exact colours.
If I were going to black and white I might convert to grey scale and then paint areas to fully white or fully black using an overlay brush I don't think this helps me for more than just black and white though.
I have attached two of my attempts where I used the colour range selection and level adjustments. Niether was really successful though (one does not use the right colours or number of colours but looks quite cool).
Also I would obviously like to keep it as dynamic as possible to allow me to make little tweaks and changes at the end.
I hope this is clear enough with the attached images too.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
