What decides in the end whether a shirt is printed or not?
I thought it was just the overall score, but its obviously not... is it based on how many people said they would buy it? is it just threadless' decision in the end?

Shimala has said that they take the highest scoring 300 designs each week, and go from there.

They take everything that rates higher than say a 2.5 and then they place all the designs in a room with a duck given some epicack and what ever that little fellow throws up on gets its wings and becomes a bonafide t-shirt.

About once a month the Threadless staff will go through the top scoring submissions and choose a few of them to print. They use a lot of different judging tactics to come to the result including the total score, total promises to buy, number of colors in the design, and intuition. They also go through each design that they choose and make sure there was not any cheating involved. THeydo this by looking closely at IP address and IP chains for voters and the respective scores given. Though the chosen designs ARE chosen from the top scoring designs, they are not necessarily the TOP scoring designs.

They let an elf decide what gets printed.

Who gets the artwork with the duck vomit on it? Wouldn't that be a collector's item.

Seems like the official answer hasn't kept up with the ever-accelerating pace of the threadless empire.

All about me

I am just a highschool student interested in the design arts. I hope to get some feedback on my designs from some legitimate designers. I would like to be a graphic designer by profession and i think this is a good dry run. I always appreciate any comments on my work and I take them all seriously. Peace all.
