Business Idea. Feedback? Advice?

[M MO]

Hey all, My name is Matt and I'm 18 years old. I'm really into sports such as skateboarding, motocross, etc. Therefore like most other young people with the same interests, I buy much of my clothing at Pacsun. I was shopping in Pacsun last week and I came up with the idea of starting a clothing company. I want it to be a clothing company with styles similar to DC, Fox Racing, Famous Stars and Straps, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any computer programs in which I could design logos, shirts, and hats. Feel free to leave any advice, feedback, or your own opinions. It all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Honestly you can find more clothing company threads than any other business idea on here, try searching the forums you will probably find what you're looking for.

I think you can try Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing. It is a free software like adobe photoshop that let you design your own picture like logo.

Anyway, I suggest you to learn the skill of selling and learn all the skill to run a clothing business before wasting hours sitting in front of your computer to design your logo. I think those are the practical steps to start a business. Please remember, have a logo won't help you to success, but skill to run a business is more important.

Hello Matt,

As an attorney, a helpful site that one of my clients referenced that provided good intel to her as the "how to" of starting a company/a tool kit is Innoventum, Inc. I learned of recently and referenced their website. Looked impressive at the time to me with its helpful free articles and literature to avoid the common business failures. You may want to check it out. I apologize but can't remember their domain name. You will need to search them on the web.
