The perfect picture: Scoring 10 STP.

So does anyone have any tips for scoring that sweet product pic spot for a shirt and getting ones reward of 10 Street Team points? I have a crudload of shirts coming in over the next bit, so I figure it's time to get busy, grab the camera, find the muse, and get to WORK.

Some ideas I've been thinking of to make sure I score the perfect picture each time:

-make sure the picture matches the theme of the shirt - for We're Not Savages, for example, have all your friends dress up (well, down really...) like they're stranded on an island, masks and all, and have them pointing sharp sticks (cardboard tubes) at the one person who's in the middle, rocking the shirt

-make sure the picture's interesting - do something that you haven't seen done before

-make sure it's a good picture - that's right, no more webcam shots - get out there and do something BANANAS! (b-a-n-a-n-a-s!)

Anyone else feel like dropping any jewels of wisdom or nuggets of knowledge on this one?

Make sure the print is clear and visible. Themed shots are nice but they don't really help if you can't see the shirt.

try really really hard. you'll be quite lucky if you get the 10 stps.

Check out irocko's pics, his are always perfect.

I agree, but often he doesn't even get the 10 for his pics. Craziness.

@viral: irocko's profile's private. Got any shirt titles for me to check out?

Sorry 'bout that, he uses a zero instead of an o.

I had a picture make the product page one time. I think it was a fluke, cause it wasn't even that good. So, no I don't really have any useful advice.

Right - so here I am at work, keeping myself busy, and I guess I have a little bit of time to flesh this out some more.

So I'm a mix of a little bit of everything, to be honest.

I like to design things - I plan to get some designs in to Threadless as they come to me; I work on a comic universe whenever I can find the time to chip away at it; I have a bunch of ideas rattling inside my head for projects I'd love to work on...

I like to write - whether it's ghostwriting a rap for someone, entering a poetry contest, or putting up strange entries in my blog, I love using words to express myself

I love to dance and discover new dances - if you show me a good club, with a great crowd and atmosphere, and amazing music, we've got a great thing going on!

I love food - experiencing new foods, cooking with friends, finding out about new spices and preparation styles...

I guess I'm a bit of an information junkie - I like to know a little bit about everything, but not everything about a little. Keeps the options broad.

I love to sing - karaoke is something I enjoy, but is not to be confused with karaoke bars, which I don't really enjoy as much. Especially when the crowd is way too somber.

Basically, I just like trying to enjoy my life as much as I can possibly do. Gotta just keep experiencing things, and get the best of it all. What what!
