So a couple months back I started working on a t-shirt design for my brother’s adoption. Some of you guys even voted on some different design ideas.
We thought we had our design finalized, so I took a moment to mock it up on the actual t-shirt catalog image.
Always a good idea.
In this case it saved us from catastrophe…
So, morale of the story – always mockup your design on an actual shirt before you send it to the screen printer 🙂
Back to the drawing board.
Haha! Now THAT is funny, Julie, but ONLY because you haven’t actually mass-produced the shirts yet! 🙂 Glad you didn’t learn this lesson the hard way!
I really wanted a Great Gatsby shirt because our book club read it last month, but after seeing the image online I couldn’t bring myself to order it, for the very same reason – http://shop.outofprintclothing.com/The_Great_Gatsby_book_cover_t_shirt_p/l-1029.htm
Um, yeah, that’s weird 🙂
This is super sweet! you could tip it! i think you ought to stretch the map from lower left to upper right, make the arc lopsided (it will look cute that way) and leave the writing the way it is. don’t tip it the other way bc that would create a sort of symbolic US domination imagery that you probs don’t want on an adoption shirt. but keep the image! it’s adorable!
LOL
Reminds me a bit of when we were voting on a design for our MOPS T-shirt. Our phrase for the year was “Come be refreshed”. My friend Rebecca pointed out that having that phrase across the chest of a bunch of moms (many breastfeeding) might bring about a whole different connotation!
A church we used to attend had a weightloss group called, “Lose With Jesus” #fail
Here’s another #designfail
Too funny 🙂 Hee hee
