by the way the prints are normal core, do some cooler line art tees and make something unique, like a cool pocket on a tee or something

finally something real, thank you. I'm working on more intricate designs now. my original thought was to go for a simplistic style but I think I'm finding my niche

>> No.9887800

>>9887765
More of shirts like the one in your pic, the Oxy Mask tee, and the Sailor Moon tee.
Less of all of the other ones and stuff like those.

Good pricing.

Do cooler line art like what >>9887786 said.
Keep the feel of your shirts kind of coolcute like your description says and not cringeugly.
Get rid of the branding

This has potential, man. I bookmarked the page.

please, for anyone who wants to start a clothing brand or whatever PLEASE DONT FUCKING LABEL YOUR BRAND ALL OVER IT. If it's a tiny thing at the very bottom or whatever okay, but please dont stick it next to the main concept of the design. also dont but your brand name on a shirt and sell that too. stop it

sizes up now are men's standard. that would be amazing if you did

>> No.9887848

>>9887830
people keep saying this but I honestly think it works into the design when I use it. Is there a particular reason why I shouldn't spread my brand name, or is it just your personal preference?

>>9887829
I kind of agree with you, those are my least favorite, especially since "I want to believe" is just my small edit on that design thats not mine. I've had some compliments on the idk shirt but I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Started as a joke.

The font on that shirt looks really bad and I don't like that you have your brand name or whatever that is on most of the shirts

There's no 'mens' standard...
This varies from country to country and between manufacturers.

You should have sizing information. Which you can easily do, so what you're saying is "oniku-shit is too lazy to measure our badly made chinese sweat shop shirts, go fuck yourselves"

Can you make tees that run a bit longer? Like AA tees or something? They look like they fit boxy. Also please restock large sailor moon tee thx

>> No.9888164

>>9888106
Actually the graphic mockups I have on the site aren't accurate to the shirts I print on. I use shirts that are a bit longer. I will be uploading a sizing chart soon since that is something I'm obviously missing. And the sailor moon shirt will be in stock this week if you want to pre-order with the discount ;)

Yeah usually. I'm obese, so I stack my shirts by color. I have a few plain black/white shirts that I stack and sometimes there's graphics on them. I usually wear them under something else to cover my large breasts and protruding abdomen.

Stop branding, wannabe.

You are nothing ye. (And pretty unoriginal)
Make design and sell design. After you built a name you can start thinking about branding in the design, and institutional shirts.

Where do people learn design these days?...

Has nothing to do with fits.
Anyways, OP, look at other successful online ahopa that have been posted on here, more specifically omocat and shopwithasianstereotypes, they've been doing this stuff for a while and, as fat as as I know, they haven't done anything with their brand name as part of a design. When I see a brand name on shirts for small shops like these, they remind of the kids in highschool that thought all they had to do was put some stupid name that they came up with on a shirt and be successful. Just concentrate on your designs more, and if you can't go without branding at least make it less blatant. The branding I'd prefer would be small characters on the back of the neck, on end of the sleeve, or at a bottom corner of the torso. Bring more attention to your design and not the brand

The background image for the Frank Ocean tee looks like a crotch. Is that a subtle dig at his homosexuality?
