So. I've pondered.
I've browsed.
Perused.
I've wondered.
I'm asking.
So Threadless attracts tons of different artists, this is fact.
However, it seems that the customers prefer a certain style of art.
While there are many shirts that break this assumption, it seems that the overwhelming majority are all along the same line of pop-ish bright humor or photo-vector humor.
Not that there is anything wrong with either.
But does it seem to be the case that a design that caters to the 'majority' style of the winning tees might seem to have a higher chance of winning the hearts of voters?

Ugh, I hate those designs that copy the same nut joke or same t-shirt joke seen in every novelty store across the country.

I guess this is all a part of a regular design job, to give the people what they want :(
