one thing i have noticed when i am scoring submissions to threadless is that most designers do not take into account that their designs are going onto t-shirts. they do not design for the space or the shape of the t-shirt, and some of the designs cannot be properly interpreted without their titles.

consider "A is for Jerks!", for instance. i am not saying that "A is for Jerks" is a bad submission; I actually really like it and considered buying it. i stopped myself when i realized that i liked the combination of the words "A is for Jerks" with the design, not just the design by itself. if the design included the text underneath the picture, i would've totally snatched this shirt up and worn it all the time.

i guess what i am trying to say is that everyone makes some really good designs that are great work and show talent, but very few people are designing with t-shirts in mind, and that makes me sad. =/
