			<description><![CDATA[So after many weeks of creating apparel designs for threadless, even in between design jobs at my current studio, I'll sneakily open a design I'm working on and minimize it to return a few minutes later to change a fill, or broaden a stroke.  Yes, I can finally admit it, I'm addicted to submitting art to threadless.  I think I can say that I've been hoodwinked, maybe even hornswaggled:)  <br />
I'm not addicted to threadless because I just want to create art and hopefully win the prize, that may be a small part but its not what motivates me.  What motivates me is this, my job is creating apparel for clothing lines and record labels.  What made me happy before is that you had to gauge who you were working with, but it was only perhaps one or as many as five people.  On threadless you have to appeal to millions!  So I'll beat my brain thinking what would do well, talking food?  a puppy handing a banana to a monkey? I don't know, but I love the challenge, and I love forcing myself to adapt to many different styles and see what does the best.  I still have a lot to learn... but I'm happy with this new submission lifestyle I've fallen into.  <br />
Thank you threadless!  your like heroine:)<br />
But now I'm curious, what do other artists on here think? Do they like the challenge too, and what do they think about when they submit?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So I have been a member of Threadless for about a month and after scoring many designs I'm trying to see a pattern of what the public, customers and artists alike are more interested in wearing.  How is a design rated?  Do they ask themselves, &quot;Do I like this design?&quot; or do they ask, &quot;Would I wear this?&quot;  Again how many does the Threadless member ask themselves both of those questions and are slightly torn apart by the response they have manifested in their minds.  <br />
Apparel is still the number one way to promote a company, you become a walking add, this is to say that in anyway, this is not a bad thing in the least because people wear what they like.  This image that is on you &quot;defines&quot; you.  I have seen urban themes, clean styles, distressed tones, and I still cannot decipher a pattern besides people are becoming biased against text... or maybe it's viewed like a salad... promising the design to be filling.  <br />
Now I ask you Threadless member... how do you rate the design that sits in front of your screen?  Do you base your score on design, even thought you would never wear it.  Or do you look at a shirt and say, &quot;I would so wear that?&quot;  And if you are unsure about the choice of rating the design... do you ask yourself how to improve this design?   Or do you simply hit the &quot;skip without scoring&quot; tab, and move on to the next piece, beginning the process anew.]]></description>
