HI MIMI!

Some flash templates, maybe? :D

tutorials are always fun and helpful :)

Some official Threadless flash templates would be pretty spiffy. And with the flash template, a PDF tutorial on how to make simple changes? There are many that have problems, even with Manos' explanation on his blog with his template.

All the stuff in there are pretty great.
Maybe provide links to some of the more popular tutorials posted in the blogs in the Artists Programs page?

And I've always wanted to see an Adventure challenge. Sorry if there's already been one.

I see a lot of posts from people who don't have a clear understanding of what the submission guidelines are: what inks and shirt colors are available, how the UV and glow inks actually look and what kind of shirt colors should they go on, etc. So I guess I'd like the specs to be more clear and easy to find.

Thanks for asking!

go team!

I haven't checked up on the pdf files for a while, but maybe that could be updated if it hasn't been, yet?

Yes, shirt color options would be nice.

Awesome! Thanks Everyone - Keep 'Em Coming! :D

Original art work from all the talented threadless peeps put up for sale with all proceeds going to charity and such.

More snacks.
also sometimes the middle toilet keeps flushing like forever.

that's gotta be wasting water. could you do something about that?

Some actual incentive for people with real opinions in the critique section, instead of everyone spamming for people to check out their own critique

A selection of different flash templete styles would be nice. I know there are a few Blogger donated versions running around but some cool threadless generated ones would be cool too.

can you Install Spell Check into my Brain for me? I spelled "Templates" wrong. :(

Hi Mimi.

Threadless art stickerbook!

For something... at some point. I'm not really sure. But man, it would be awesome.

Threadless socks, headbands, wristbands, and backpacks.

Yes flash template with tutorial, that would be great!

I guess everythings are great(:,
I'd love doing something that involve charity(:,
I'd love to help peoples who in needs,Just like what aweb1492 mention(:,that's my ambitions.(:,

in the welcom blurb for newbies some info on what is/isn't ok or accepted....

specifically no spamming on designs up for scoring!!!

*welcome

I think the Threadless submission kit needs a complete face-lift. Those boxy flat shirt templates are lackluster at best, and the photo models, while very sexy, give a very poor representation of the shirt colors threadless can print on, and gives the talented but unexperienced designers a disadvantage to more seasoned Threadless users who know about the Flickr pool and flash templates. The bar has been raised, and I constantly see really good designs get criticized for being placed on the generic, non-realistic template.

Hi Mimi,
I'd love to see a step by step simulated process printing of a tee (on a dark color with a white base and on a light color with no base). Most think it's like 4 color process, but it's not, and there's confusion out there. Maybe add it to the specialty printing PDF.

Something like or hopefully better than this or or this

Thanks for asking, cheers!

In short, Threadless would be doing a kind service to all the community by supplying better model pics, at the very least encouraging new users to submit on something besides White, black, navy, or (ick) light blue.

Thanks Everyone - Great Ideas! :D
***frantically writing them all down before I forget to***

If quister's suggestion is considered, make it a Mr. Rogers video, please!

Something that would be really cool would be a little tour video for new users. It could give some tips to newbs and point out everything that the Threadless website offers. I didn't even know that blogs existed until after I started frequenting the site more regularly, which was like 2 years after I initially joined.

i want more mimails - no really... I mean it


also - it would be great if the submission kit included a comprehensive sizing template - that showed the relation of the print are to the different sized shirts. All broken down by screen type:standard, large, oversize, ultraoversize, belt etc.

this would make everyones life so much butter.
also - more model shots from threadstaff - it has been a while since they gave us new material.

A Threadless Branded one of these to buy.... In Bulk.

Yeah what happened to the cool photos?

also

hi mimi

hiiiii! :)
Yay for Mimails! :D

YES TO THE TEE-PAD!

tutorials are always fun and helpful :)

I agree. =D
And flash templates would be cool too.
Also more staff models, maybe in all the different color possibilities for shirts.

NEEDS MORE FESTA.

All these suggestions are really cool. I know if I'd had some kind of guide telling me about the Flickr photos or more photos in the TL Kit (with more variety of the Tee colours), then maybe I wouldn't have got slammed in my first submissions....then again I could have just photoshoped them like i do now ;P

I think some people havent quite understood what an artist program is, its not suggestions to improve the site.

Great sugestions... mostly the Mimails ones. They are starting to sound as an urban legend...

I think some techniques tutorials, printing process descriptions, better templates, staff shots, etc... won't hurt anybody.

Also it would be great, for example, other than flash... to be able to upload 3 o 4 jpgs when you upload a design as alternate views... I've seen other sites doing this... and it's totally cool... even threadcakes has it.

If you need help to put together some tutorials or templates... you can count on me, I'd really love to help you.

It's a pleasure to meet you and to know you are real, not like these annoying unicorns...

As Artist Programs, I mean anything to support, inspire, and help our artist community out: school curriculum programs, other opportunities, and even tutorials and templates and improving the site.

It covers a gamut of things! Any and all ideas and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks Santo76! :)

i am really gonna try and motivate a couple school curriculum programs this year.

Some of the the tutorials i learn on are on video (industrial designer)...so it would be cool if you could get one of the more talented theadless artists to film and present how they thumbnail.....to convert files step by step (yes they are out there already but you have to pay to get the good stuff).
seeing it done live helps allot since reading is confusing at times.

Make them fun!!!

cookies!

Also, something that I think would be really cool and would help out some of the newer and ever veteran artists/Threadless members would be to do like a "design process" kind of thing from willing Threadless alumni. :) It could be paired with their interview maybe? It would be so cool to see the work process of the alumni and I know Alex gets asked a lot, even though he's posted a couple process blogs before.

^$5^

Video Games!

cookies, check
video games, check
hahahah :D

Video Games! to win Threadless - points!

how to understand limitations of the process......video #1

make if funny...with tons of cowbell.

Bully Sean into taking some new blank tee photos! AA colours and sizes and hoodies!

I agree, more mimails!
