pet named peev (not about an actual pet)
i have just decided that my newest pet peev is.....
when people post a sub and the layout of the graphic in the box is different from the layout of the graphic on the shirt. i dont know how many times i have seen a decent graphic in a great lower left or lower right corner position in the box and then the creator screws it up by placing it in the dead upper middle of the shirt.
composition is just as important as concept!
if your graphic has a shadow under it or is at a three quater angle or it has sort of a top view a lower position looks best. if none of these apply then shoot for the certer. but, note, that as long as there has been tshirts there has been the upper middle placement. i encourage you, the designer, to venture out and try a new placement. now, go, and be just a little more creative, please.

you just mean you have a problem with shirt placements? alternatively, i've seen a lot of shirts that try to put a design that would have worked perfectly on top center, strangely to the bottom/sides of the shirt.



but i was secretly hoping this blog was about you naming a pet you got "peeve"

also, anything other than center placement bothers me because i don't want to draw attn to my belly.

sorry. it sounded funny to me, but i guess is misleading.



truely i have wanted to name my next dog peeve. but i have another daughter on the way so peeve will have to wait.



but that is also true, sonmi. i am not saying that i am perfect or that i know it all. i just frustrates me when there are two compostions in the same area, ya know.



thanks for the response.

All about me

I am a graphic designer, a hsuband, and I have 2 daughters, Madeline and Aubrey.

I have a lot of ideas but very little time, so my subs my fairly speratic. But please remain clam my loyal fans new work is on the way.
