Frame It Like It's 1979
Borders inspired by vintage surf, skate, and moto tees. Drop in your art, mask with the built-in paths, done.
Still Shipping Rectangles?
You've got great artwork. But sitting in a plain box, it looks like a solid patch. The best vintage tees never did that - they wrapped their graphics in ornamental frames, floral borders, engraved flourishes. This is what made them feel like designs instead of images.
RetroFrame gives you that move in seconds.
Drop In Your Art. Done.
Every frame comes with built-in masking paths. Place your rectangular artwork, clip it to the mask, and it instantly takes the shape of the frame. No pen tool. No tracing. No rebuilding paths at 11pm before a deadline.
What's Inside
- 25 ornamental and floral frames pulled straight from the golden era of surf, skate, and motorcycle graphics
- Built-in masking paths in every file - your art drops in and conforms to the frame
- Clean, untextured artwork that prints sharp and separates easily
- Quick-Start PDF Guides + tutorial videos
Built for Your App
Photoshop: High-resolution raster files, 4500 pixels wide - plenty of size for full-front and back t-shirt prints.
Illustrator, Affinity & CorelDRAW: 100% vector. Scale to any size, recolor in seconds, output razor-sharp at any dimension.
What's Not Included
RetroFrame is a collection of frames - the landscape & character artwork and lettering you see in the previews are there to demonstrate what the frames can do, and they're not part of the download. Fonts aren't included either. You bring the art and the type; RetroFrame brings the frame.
No Distress. On Purpose.
These frames are clean. No grunge, no texture baked in. They print sharp - and if you do want them beat up, hit them with T-Shirt Texture Machine or Bit-Thrash Textures and they'll look like they survived 40 years in a dresser drawer.
