too right mate

But you all submitted them at the same time! You can't stop coincidence.



I think it's all about execution anyway.

Post links to the others?

true...i agree with execution of the task at hand. but mine is done voting. the rest have either 6 or 7 days left. thats not at the same time.

mine: http://www.threadless.com/submission/90568/scantron

the next recent: http://www.threadless.com/submission/91553/Shading_Your_Options

and the other two today: http://www.threadless.com/submission/91158/Life_Choice_Achievement_Test

i'm not saying mine is the best or anything (because its not) but just the thought of being unoriginal sucks.

i've only seen one other one (haven't voted today yet) and it was very different from yours.

however, i do agree that people need to look at all the shirts that have already printed and try to stay away from those designs.

no offence to you, or tom (who is one of my favourite designers ftr), but the idea is incredibly bland anyway....not that that has anything to do with the point of this blog, i'm just sayin

Doesn't that still mean you submitted before they were posted? I don't really know how it works.



I think it would be good for people to really become familiar with the site and do a lot of voting before submitting... just so they know what the general voting public is tired of looking at and the level of quality that is expected for a decent score. Beyond that, I think that any kind of content can be executed well, even if it's been done before.

touche. i agree fully.

spoken like a true threadlesser lemonalle

dude, i feel the same now. i saw yours while i was working on mine, but since it took so long to create my test sheet (it is pretty complex) i didnt get to sub it til a few days after.

then i saw these other ones today and i feel like i submitted a design with hearts and pandas, dancing around skulls with splatter marks on them. :(

hahahaha a robotic ninja pirate who loves pandas hearts and skulls

the scantron design is becoming the new heart teeshirt design and i dont like the feeling.



what is a threadlesser lemonalle?

staffell was directing his comment toward the threadlesser(person who is on threadless),

"lemonalle"

heh heh

but then it would be satire, right? :-)

you guys just don't get the cosmic consciousness at hand.

it has nothing to do with contests and deadlines.



its the ethereal soup of conscious electricity that we all feed off.



and then, there are blatant rip offs.

lemonalle, just smile and move forward

HAHA!

cry baby. this happens all the time. it's all in the execution - or is it the hips!!

i noticed that people totally copied your idea.

Now I'm confused...

The only thing I don't get is how they accept five of the same designs into the contest, then they decline mine. My design was an original idea, and I'm not saying it was great but it was definitely at least up to par with the rest of the designs. My design didn't even get a chance to be voted on.

I've submitted 2 designs completely original that were both declined... :\



The first was iffy, but the second was better than some of the crap that gets through. I guess I just keep trying.
