The Kids Of Tomorrow - Fighting For Equality

Hi, Shawn,

The design is not to my taste, but I wholly support the message! The world is big enough for all of us -- even with all the ego and emo-baggage we insist on carrying around! :-)

Good luck Shawn, :)

I have great hope for the next generations. The kids I know around here are very tolerant and respectful to others. They even have a saying "we don't do that here" when ever any kind of bullying surfaces. But we live in a college town where people tend to be highly educated, diverse and socially aware. As certain presidential candidates have demonstrated, we have a long way to go to root out intolerance.

Shawn,

I have recently tried my hand at Tee design. I understand why all the different forms of your image. Tee design is hit or miss and if you get really into marketing them you shut down what does not sell immediately. I learned that elsewhere while using paid advertising. Most of it is miss not hit.

What you want to do specifically is look at Tee designs on Facebook to see what others are doing. I do not like saying this to you, but your design needs to be PNG/transparent and much sharper in the Tee category. It is a completely different type of design market.

For instance, that design would need to be about 11 or less inches across, but Tee design needs to go vertically. This does not include hoodies which are more problematic if there is a zipper. You need layers with a PNG to be creative and transparent.

As Abbie said Good Luck,

thanks for the advice!

I think you need to lose the bars at the top and the bottom and go with just the black and white, hand drawn style. Easier to print, looks better on any color shirt, showcases the artwork and not the frame.

Great message!

ok so I took your advice and I sharpened them up - coloured them, got rid of the bars at the top and bottom, and the colours in the bg, and made them a transparent png - imo they look pretty kickass - I might focus on 2 or 3 as well so that they can fill out more of the shirt up and down wise - but yeah, check em out!

That is much better, but you need to go vertical in most future designs.

Very cool, Shawn. I hope it goes viral.

like I said david, I might release a few with either just a couple of them or single versions so that they fill more vertically - that's the benefit of having 6 of them - you can fill more by cameoing them :)

atm there are 2 guys on the left, a guy and girl in the center, and 2 girls on the right - might showcase those 3 demographics and do a lgbt theme that way.

My hope too is that parents will buy them for their kids.

also who do we talk to about making it so we can put something on the BACK of the tshirt as well? Most tshirt websites have that - and some designs I ONLY want on the back of a tshirt.. or hoodie...

here are them separated into groups of 2:

Shawn.

Most Tees have splashes of color, or patches of color in off beat but geometric shapes. And not just one shape necessarily. With words running diagonally often.
This requires layers and transparency.

Addition: Most Tees that are very up todate.

Dave

some do, but not all - I am happy with how mine look - I don't have to look like everyone else - that's the whole point of diversity after all.

I am only talking about the dynamics of Tee design, not your work looking like anyone else's.

Dave

hehe I wasn't too sure so felt I'd throw that in there hehe.. I did get a comment from someone they were too "generic" looking - but I like them :)
