The lc "y" ones are smart & nice. Almost all the rest are uberboring to me (I don't care how much Rotis they used).

too bad all of the entries have the

ack. I knew someone was gonna mention that site. there's nothing that tee's me off more than threadless.com. 5inch and the lot of them

not only is it spec-orama work, but it barely classifies as t-shirt design more like "put anything on a shirt"-"for no apparent reason" and have the public vote on how cool is it.

Its the colouring book contest of this century, not design. there's no point to them. just stay within the lines. perhaps it keeps the kids off the streets but its not design! designers work for a client, purpose, with strategy. grrr

we communication to the public. the public is not asking for it, they are our muse...to see if we can persuade.

the only people who target "public" in whole to become client are either a) megacorps or b) completely nieve & have no business plan or goals.

you may call threadless, 5inch submissions "Art" or illustrations but not design. I guess I just hate how freely the word is used nowadays

Have some fun Tanya, be an artist for a change, submit a t-shirt design.

'artist' was my last career. I found it very depressing, and switched to design, I ended doing more commissions anyway...and I did submit once to threadless a long time ago - reading comments and feedback from the group that frequents threadless was depressing & frustrating.

fairer sex...muahahhah ya hear my roar?

hey i was also an artist/illustrator before i became a webdesigner/programer/whatever. something i notice a lot in the web design community is the confusion between design and illustration - there is too much self-indulgent decoration and not enough communication. i know you need to push boundaries etc. but when everything has the same style applied regardless of the project surely that isn't 'design'

Martin, you still have three whole days to get
your submission in.
