Questions before jumping into the fray

Hello. Quick "Threadless cred" intro :) : I've been browsing for years, buying for a few (love the Spoiled T!), and recently scoring designs/offering critiques. Now I'd like to submit a design.

In order not to waste your time or mine, I'd be grateful for some brief answers from those in the know:

To submit a critique in this blog forum, you need a 640 x 640-800 png, a thumbnail, and some words of introduction? Or do you need to submit the final vector file?

I've read that all colors must be on their own layer, but I can't find that in the official submission kit or "rules." Is there a FAQ I'm overlooking?

The upper color limit is 8, so how are "watercolor" type T's being submitted? Are they really detailed vector art that mimic watercolors, or is there a separate type of entry?

Thanks for any hints! Looking forward to talking T's with you.

you dont submit the final file unless it wins

if you work in vector, you dont need you colors as separate layers

the watercolory ones you're referring to can be printed using the simulated process technique... which you can read about in the specialty printing PDF on the submit page

Cool, mfcassias! I have done so, but it is not approved yet:

Bubblegum Dream Factory - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

But I'll be sure to post an update when Bubblegum Dream Factory is approved.

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.

Rob is a self-centered egotist, yet drops all pretense in the presence of children and animals. With adults he is either "the funny one" or entirely unremarkable. He is too disorganized to collect anything -- but able to sustain intense focus for long stretches of time on dalliances like croquet, design, and beer. He placed third in the kitten punting contest. Rob is a web developer, but has no website, which is kind of dumb. If he met you in real life, he'd probably like you.
