I have designed and redesigned several times and yet agian my design was declined.
I am happy to note that some actual reasons were given this time around, although I find it hard to believe some designs are thrown out due to 'poor design' or actual 'copyright infringement'. I guess we all have our own opinions. I do have a little issue on some of the points about my design though. And so I have decided to rant. (Obviously time will tell if my 'rant' is a good idea or not..) - Improperly sized thumbnails and designs (Mmm, kay... I spent hours getting it to EXACT pixel demension specs. What part is the wrong size? The actual design size on t-shirt, I could see...) - The design has too many colors (Possibly. I tried to keep it down. I better recheck it.) - The design has a gradient or halftones. (Really? Where?) - Submission did not use the templates. (Oh, yes did! See that little t-shirt in the corner? That's from y'all's template! Is there something more to the whole template thing I'm not getting?) - Inappropriate material within the design. (What, pray tell, is innapropriate about a fish and some non-offensive text?) - The design is too large to print (Ok, I can see that.) - The design contains copyrighted material (Does it? Where??? That's my own design! What about my design was copyrighted? ) Seriously, for some of these I would love answers to. I really would love to have one of my submissions in and somehow I am doing something wrong. Please, educate me. -What is copyrighted in my original design? -How else should a template be used? -Why is my design too large to print and yet I see other designs using the whole t-shirt space? -And what in my design is 'innapropriate material'? o.O I could probably fix the color and size issues pretty easily, but I am concerned about those 'copyright' and 'innapropriate materal' issues. I can't exactly fix something I don't know what is wrong with. Guess first step is to check and see if I actually sent in the right files.... :P

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.
All about me
Basicly, art is my life. I've loved art from the moment I picked up crayons and doodled my family's faces with arms and legs sticking out of them.
So far, school has ruined me. Ever the student, I am currently going for an associate degree in animation. Every movie I see I look critically at the effects and animation. If I like it enough, I am one of those annoying poeple who sit in the theatre until -all- of the credits are run. Gotta get a head start on figuring out who I want to end up working for! ;) Before learning animation, I was studying graphic design. After seeing how much harder animation is to create... sometimes I wish I stuck with graphic design. You think coming up with a good layout or grpahic is hard? Try making that sucker move and not look crappy... |
