The shirt is ironic, cause this is the suckest shirt yet.

el moreno on Jan 30 '04
I just triying to say that the latest submited design it's not as good as it used to be, there's nothing personal on the tee.... so if anyone could take it in that way, feel free



The critic is just for the the submited design, not for threadless

hello!!!!! u know brother ur the worst designer i've ever seen....no thats not true any way to all of you, i agree with el morenito, design here is awful now, even mine (talking about the shirts) i own like 4 or 5 shirts from threadless, the printed ones are really good, threadless is a great place to buy them, but the competition..... is not like it used to be, right now u can see a lot of shirt designs in power point or even in excel i think, the quality is really poor, we all should do better things why waste 2 hours in an awful design, and have a bunch of crappy shirts, why dont better waste 4 or 6 hours or even a couple minutes if the idea is good enough to sell it, and have just 2 or 3 but respectful shirts!

...........................so i agree with this guy, design competition sucks right now.............



I WILL BUY 10 SHIRTS IF YOU PRINT THIS ONE!!!



and sorry about my poor english too, but my first languages are portuguese and danish

i dont agree with making a damn joke through shirt design, but this guy is right, shirts have been going down the damn drain lately. It doesnt take a rocket surgeon to see that.



i think its unstoppable, the fact that eventually people will run out of ideas, and this site will just come to a complete halt.



when you think of how many thousands of designs have already been trial and error'd, how does one come up with a new design without people noticing how it resembles another.

i think it's not only the submission. i mean what is this last shirt ? I am Analog ? what's that ? plain and boring.. oh there is a message in the shirt ? bullshit.. i don't want to buy that. who was talking about design here ?

we should all work harder. no more drips, what ever skulls or robots.. ok maybe skulls. i just love skulls.

and they did print crap recently (the last 3)

God, i'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed the decline in t-shirt designs. Over the past years, they seem to have gone down so badly; like the submission process is fully automated so you can submit any piece of shit and still have it presented as a possible T-shirt design. I dont even vote any more just because i'm sick of giving 0s and 1s. I dont want to make this some war against n00bs, but I've noticed the decline mainly since last october. There are a few shining artists here (cintrao, bosatsu, tyro3girl), but the vast majority sucks. It's not about being a "hater", it's about the truth. Threadless seems to be gradually going down the drain as far as content goes.

it's just the way things go people.. cool shit starts out small or underground.. as it takes off it gets more popular.. popularity brings the masses. the masses fuck it up. :)



it's not that there's more shit designs now.. its that there's more submissions on the whole.. i said it before but it's up to the voters to choose what gets printed.. its just a shame when you click through 40 designs and don't see a damn thing worth wearing.. or even worth commenting on :|



as a side note, there seem to be more trolls and nasty people making comments now too - so there you go.. with the increase in crap designs, comes the increase in opinionated pricks there to say "thats a crap design." :)

I agree (to some extent) you only have to look at el morons' other two tees to see his own self-flagellating statement.



I dont agree that theres a limited number of designs and even if there was it wouldnt have been exhausted with threadless submissions.

el moreno

ha. what the hell would a 'quality control' commenter do?



to get one person to speak for a group is ridiculous.



threadless doesnt even print all the high scoring designs, they just pick the ones that spark their interest.



and to whoever said more 'skulls', i hope you're joking.

Whats with all the nostalgia crap, theres always been bad tees on this site and most of them are done by all the whinging people whove made comments here. Especially el moreno (what the hell was with you deformed Bob Marley)



I agree with ATS on the above remark



I do think threadless should adapt however.

I propose a league system based on good design. Basically it would work by threadless giving every contributor a number from 1 to 3 (1 being the best). The number denotes what divsion youre in. In this way all good designers would be placed on level 1 while bad and new designers would start at 3. Contributors could be promoted or demoted based on the success of there design. This i belive would improve 'quality control'. It would also mean you could view a number of good tees without the usual rubbish. People like ATS and me couldnt give our opinions or votes (as they are in a sence worthless) because we havent submitted any tees, it would also mean you couldnt get all your friends to vote (e.g. http://www.threadless.com/submission/17002.html).



On another point i didnt like the way el moreno pasted his pathetic link to this tee on lots of other peoples comments page, without making a comment about the tee.



On a positve note, the tee has provided a decent discussion worth contributing too.

dont threadless check the design before it is put up.

i guess not.

i wish they did, because then there would be a specific level of design to be displayed and scored.

some of my work should not have been placed. and therefore do wish that they would look and the designs before they put them up for scoring.

it would be much better.

-cyas.

i agree with ATS, here is the real mistery http://www.threadless.com/submission/15731.html i posted this one just to prove that crappy design goes thru 577 points wow!!!! thats a lot for this shirt and its mine, i gave me 1 just because its mine, now check this one http://www.threadless.com/submission/13602.html 534 points, well i still dont understand, this one is printed, so that means that threadless only print they're friends, or that they receive other kinda scores so if you voted for this one please let me know cus i didnt see this shirt in the competition and it got 534 points.......





....no comments!!!

It is a shame that the real crap ones get through... I think the main thing is people aren't spending enough time on their designs.. It's pretty quick and easy to get your design up on this site. It shouldn't be. There are too many "conversation starter" shirts that might be funny but will never get printed. Too many " shocking " shirts that no one will ever wear. And finally some nice artwork that really doesn't belong on a shirt. ( just doesn't suit the medium.. )



I believe if you take your time and make a good design people will appreciate it. ( because you're not wasting anyone's time)

So take your time- don't upload your design today - sit on it till tomorrow - maybe you can make it better!



Also it would be nice if there was alot of interest in your particular design - maybe you could do a print run on your own for pre- ordering people? There are some good designs out there that threadless hasn't printed..

master arm
master arm on Feb 02 '04
wow. you folks sure do like to sling mud don't you.



half of the people on this site haven't even submitted

a design and yet they bounce from design to design

leaving rubbish like "Shit design" "Could try harder"

"Seen this before..." etc etc... BLAH BLAH FUCKING

BLAH!



now I know you don't need to submit a design to have

a valid or constructive opinion but if your going to

complain about the standard of designs how about you

try submitting some of your own work... crazy idea

or what...?!?!



maybe, just maybe if people were constructive in their

criticism people would try out new styles rather than

worrying about 30+ people leaving comments like

"What is this shit...?!" I get sick and tired of seeing

"Do you think Threadless will print this...?" well they

might actually... someone's just got to be brave enough

to start something new.



as for this design.



it annoyed me when I first saw it but now I'm beginning

to see your point...



saddam
saddam on Feb 02 '04
agree with ATS that there shouldn't be a scoring system, because a new designer can easily submit something that is mind blowing. censorship is evil. and why do u need to submit something to comment? what does someone's prior submission(s) have to do with yours? if u don't like their prior work, why attack them? there are many good art directors that can't design as good as they can advise. some users aren't even designers, some are friends or mothers or sisters or gay lovers of designers.



yes i realize i'm being hypocritical. i might be bipolar. anyways, i agree with master arm that idiotic socially abnormal fuckheads (like me) need to stop leaving short nasty comments. if u can't say anything good, then give it a low score and go on. if a design is really awful chances are that person can't improve it no matter what u tell them. i think a lot of people are merely young and experimenting anyways. everyone's a designer nowadays











agree with scarybear too

^ instead of score system, i meant there shouldn't be a league system
master arm
master arm on Feb 02 '04
no saddam, I think you might of misunderstood my stand point.

I don't expect everyone to submit a design, and I don't think that

you should be an active designer in order to be able to leave a

comment, my entire point is based around my personal disliking

of members that are crying out about the standard of submissions

and how the whole Threadless vibe / feel what ever you want to

call it is being rubbished. well if the standard is SO bad then they

SHOULD submit artwork. no if's, no but's, no 'I don't have Photoshop'

shit! get your sketch books out and create. we've got enough vector

artwork here to print a tee shirt a day for a year and while it's all

good stuff, it does wear thin after a while.

I think it's a cool idea personally but shouldn't the spelling be correct? It's "submitted", with two 't's. While I'm there, it should be "designs suck" rather than "design sucks." Otherwise, it's a funny in-joke whether you agree with it or not.

   amnesiac on Feb 02 '04
oh man, while i think the shirt is just a cheap way to make a statement here, he makes an awesome point. and for everyone who thinks that the designs for the most part dont suck, why in the hell do you think all these new contests just started happening with outrageous prizes? it sure as hell wasn't to attract boat loads of shitty ass designers

and im not the kind of people who wants to save the world!!!! im a really weird person to understand if you or anybody wants to say crap about my designs thats cool i accept that but that doesnt mean that u r waht u design
