The term "cut and sew" means that the design is printed on raw fabric, then each section is cut to size and sewn together to complete the finished garment. When it comes to designing artwork for an all over product, it's important to note that the fabrics are cut and then sewn. It is very difficult to decipher whether or not it is safe to use an image, so when in doubt, just scrap it! It may take longer, but it is definitely a lot cheaper than a lawsuit!

Pulling images off the web in general is not a good idea, unless you have paid for the rights, it is a free stock image, or it is a public domain image (those that are more than 100 years old and have not had their licenses repurchased). Keep in thought that even the best artists get design block! Take your time, if the design isn't working out, leave it for a few hours/days/weeks and come back to it later with a fresh mind.
Designs that are rushed show, and is quite easy to spot. Don't be in such a hurry and slap just any old filter or throw on a two-second Live Trace on some image from a search engine. We encourage our artists to be imaginative and to take their time when constructing their artwork. Using an image as "inspiration" is fine so long as we can see it as an inspiration and not a straight rip, which will be decided at the curator's discretion. Your artwork will be rejected if the curator believes the artwork is not original and does not belong to the artist. More often than not, chances are those images are copyrighted, and taking and using them as your own is not ok. If your design calls for a clock, don't just Google "clock" and take the first image that comes up. Taking an image off the Internet that does not belong to you, running Illustrator's Live Trace, and/or a Photoshop filter or the like is a big no-no! Your submission files should be saved as jpg's!
