I have several T-shirt designs up on Design By Humans.
I have sold and bought from their T-shirt pressing site in the past but not for a long time. I have bought 1 of my own designs to test which is coming in the mail, if you want to go ahead and purchase them before you are welcome, I’ve never had issues with their quality which is why I have used them again!

The grid tool is something many graphic designers overlook but it is very helpful indeed for certain aspects of graphic design work within Illustrator.

Adobe Illustrator is a vector based program and taking that into consideration, it is best suited for technical and geometric drawing. Photoshop works with pixels and is more of a digital artistic platform generally speaking. Illustrator best suits things such as logo design and technical design, and because of that you will often want to use grids to keep your designs equal and symmetrical.
