A New Designer, Help Me Please
I have the ideas, I have the drawing ability, I lack the technical skill and experience with Adobe Illustrator.

If someone could give me some basic hints and suggestions on making a good looking (format and whatnot) submission I would be most appreciative.

Hints such as making a background color, putting the design on different shirt colors, putting the design large and in detail in the foreground of the display. You know, all the things that everyone knows how to do and everyone does for every submission to threadless. Help me not look like an incompetent twelve-year-old, please.

id say take a class just to learn to navigate and use the program/s smoothly so you are using the program to help you translate your design instead of fighting with it.

i would do that, but i'm only in highschool, and have a really full plate with International Baccauloriate (sp) and Studio Art. I really don't have the opportunity to take a class.

There are plenty of decent tutorials out there that will teach you the basics of Illustrator. Try google.

All about me
I can't get the Threadless Design template to work but I'm excited with the prospect of putting my designs into some sort of actual output. All tingly and what not.
