we want your feedback - why did you score us low?
As you may have seen my first design collaboration with my friend Koichi was shot down early.

I'd like to hear from everyone who voted a 1 or 2 - was the design beyond hope, or was there anything that could have been done to save it?

Thanks a lot in advance. :)

i did not actually score the design but it just looked too anime too me. and on a personal level i really don't like mandala's... really though i don't think its the artistic skill level. it is more just the anime style and then the copy and pasted wierd tribal motifs...



just look at the tees that have printed and you can see that the style you used was not exactly the most threadless voter centric.

I guess try to think about what your audience is; who would wear it?

Someone who is buying that shirt, are they buying it because it says something about them? Because it's beautiful? Because it's funny? Because it's a neat picture?



anyways, good luck!

The drawing in the middle is really well done, but stuff surrounding it is not interesting. Another very important thing to keep in mind about Threadless is the placement. I don't think people like the big giant bullseye shape on a shirt. There is also no obvious concept to the shirt, which is not good for votes. If people don't get it in the first second or two, you're done for. Far less talent has gone far further with the right idea and a concise style.

What pyr said pretty much summed it up for me. It's not that it was a bad design, it was just not presented to the right crowd.

All about me



"I am boring and smell of bologna." - this is an inside joke I have with minxorjinx. I don't actually smell of bologna and I'm not particularly boring, really. Well, I'm never ever bored. If you are ever bored you have to come to terms with how incredibly short life is and how infinite a number of things there are we can really choose from to do in one lifetime.

i write a lot and design a little. unfortunately i don't draw too well but somehow manage.

i help make the lovely web site askvampirebear.blogspot.com , home of vampire bear - he is looking for your questions! he just wants to help.

I have found the best place to find jobs is CareerBuilder
