It makes me really sad that some people have to ruin it for everyone else.
Why do people have to be so nasty in criticising people's designs?

Does it matter if it's not original and up to the same class as everyone else's designs? No, just aslong as it looks cool!

It's the people who feel there the elitists who ruin sites like this (and myspace, SG, several others) while there are honest members and people who run the sites with the best interests at heart.

I think those people need to go out and get laid...or do whatever to realise, the world is a much bigger place than your computer screen.

If these people were drawing for the sake of drawing, it would be one thing. This is drawing for the sake of sales, and I see no reason people shouldn't have opinions on how to make the work better and/or why they wouldn't buy it as-is. It's true some people will just say something nasty and not back it up, but for the rest I think some people are just being too sensitive.

Of course you are right. Everyone should just say positive things and encourage the best in each other so we all design better stuff.



Now fuck off and make me a sandwich.

It's one thing if someone takes inspiration from something, but to actually copy something and put it up here as their own, either for their own gain or just because they "wanted the shirt" and didn't feel like just buying a copy somewhere else is just asking for it. I agree that people should be as nice as they can be about things, but there are some people who really just go against what we all love so much about Threadless.

this site promotes skill and creativity...take it or leave it. course comments should help not hinder...so yeah, i second what semantitheft said so well.

WTF?..."Does it matter if it's not original and up to the same class as everyone else's designs?"



Yes... if it's not original, it's someone else's idea. That the most asinine thing I've read today... Plus, it's not all humor, or aesthetics.



Movie/music references are popular when incorporated into shirts. What are you talking about anyways?



Do you like unoriginality, and poorly drawn designs to show others what you wasted money on?

it makes ME sad when people remind me that my entire life is built around a computer screen, that THEY don't like me, and that I need to go have sex immediately before my taste in clothing gets even WORSE.

uh... yeah it matters. If something is unoriginal and not up to par as far as good design is concerned, I doubt I would think it looks cool.

Are you serious?



This is a design based community. For design. Not for photowhoring or being creepy like myspace or SG...



Its for DESIGN. If the design isnt done well, we are supposed to give people pats on the back?







Man, I wish my professors would do that, it would make critiques a lot more enjoyable.



Also, I wouldnt be learning anything.

Wow... everyone is laying in pretty hard. I kinda feel compelled to make a real response now.



No matter where you go some people will ruin it for the majority. It's why we can't have nice things. I do agree that some of the critiques come down pretty heavy but really a designer should become sort of detached from such things. Getting upset over every negative comment and not learning how to disregard the non-constructive rips is as essential to progress as knowing what advice to take and how to apply it without betraying your own vision.



Originality is arguable. Almost nothing is truly original. Nothing really has ever been. But the line gets more and more faded every day. If a persons idea isn't original they may still have a different perspective. If the technical ability lacks they can improve. The idea is everything though. If the idea is flat no design work will breath dimension into it. But on the other side a great idea can be killed by bad design.



The "elitists" who cut people down and treat places like popularity contests exist in every arena. You can't escape them. You just have to hold the line and keep moving. Any vision that can't withstand some nasty comments isn't one worth having.



I do sympathize with your frustration completely. But you must get past it. Cause you can't fix it.

I'm so gonna use this line next time I'm hitting on some girl: "Some girl on the intertron told me I needed to get laid. What do you think? Do I really need to or did she just say that to imply I'm a sad lonely wanker with emotional problems? No, don't run away. I asked you a question."
