Day 99

I got some more design work done for my first T-shirt. I'm only showing the back for now, but that's because it is pretty much done. Please let me know your thoughts. I need some solid feedback and honest critique.

Days 96,97, and 98

So it's a Holiday weekend and I will be spending most of it with my family. That being said, I am taking the weekend off. Happy Easter everyone.

HE IS RISEN!!

Day 95

JohnnyCupcakes. The master of t-shirt design and marketing. This April 1st was no exception to the tricks he has up his sleeves. He started off by releasing a couple designs available only his stores. (yeah he has 4 stores). On top of that, he decided to actually serve cupcakes which are extremely unusual. However, he wasn't done there. For April fool’s day, he took his most basic design, and flipped it upside down. It's simple, basic, inexpensive, and brilliant. The T-shirt is now available on line so go over and check it out.

Day 94

The guys at Forever Gold Clothing just released two great new T-shirts to commemorate opening day. The thing I love about this promotion isn't just the fact that they chose to depict the greatest baseball rivalry of all time, but also because they present it with such style. It looks and feels like opening day and the video is the touch that puts it over the top. Brilliant work.

Day 93

The guys at The Breakfast Club have been great encouragement to me. I have gotten tips, advice, and direction through e-mail. That is why it's tough to give this T-shirt critique. First, let me say that I don't want to take away from the design work or quality. However, the latest T-shirt is yet one more tattooed celebrity. The first one was cool. The second one was neat. The third one had a clever enough spin that it still worked, but this fourth one is getting a bit old and maybe even forced.

Day 92: Who wants to go?

While searching high and low for best and most inspiring T-shirt designers on the web, and have discovered several T-shirt blogs. One of them is the Tee Gazette. They are great for keeping with current releases and T-shirt news. One of the most exciting things they have been promoting is the First Annual Boston Tee Party. Apparently this is going to be a T-shirt convention with a ton of great designers and other stuff. Who wants to go with me?

Day 91: Design Work

91 days into this T-shirt venture of mine and I have learned so much. It's been fun getting my feet wet and learning about other designers. This first T-shirt design of mine is coming along I think. I like a lot of it, but there are still some things to work out. For example line weights, color scheme, and so on. Regardless, this is where it is as of right now. I need to get going if I'm going to release at the beginning of May.
