The purpose of commercial art is to generate income from your artwork. Threadless is a graphic t-shirt company looking for new designs. You can find information concerning Threadless contests and submissions, here: http://www.threadless.com/submit. Choose one of your t-shirt designs and follow the submission process. Then reflect on this experience.
Do you think this is a good opportunity? Why or why not?
I thought this was a very good opportunity, especially for people in our class that found their niche in making and designing t-shirts. this is a very rare opportunity to get your own designs out there, with a reputable company. This could potentially be a great way for someone like ourselves to become part of something bigger. I like this idea alot.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a terrible opportunity because Threadless sucks and will only let you upload designs with 8 colors. Black and white count. I think there are plenty of other ways to promote your products online than a contest on a website. It doesn't guarentee that your product will be seen at all. Some people might breeze over a couple designs then quit. There must be thousands of entries. It turns into a popularity contest and the number of votes depends on how many friends you have instead of your talent. (cough, American Idol, cough)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great opportunity for any of us to show our designs to the world, and it is an opportunity for us to get started as a commercial artist. although it is difficult to win, this contest will have us trying harder to come up with out best design.
ReplyDeletei think that tghis is a good oppurtunity because that getting your art work out in society will make you more known to the people that are judging it. when gettin your work out there if it is good enough people will start to notice you in many ways as being creative.
ReplyDeletealso you never know who is looking at it because this could open doors if it is a main strem diesgner that may want to use your art work or buy it off you to market
I think this is a very good opportunity, if your good at designing t-shirts then this could help get their artwork out there and help out in the long run. You never know who is looking at your art work. Although this is not for me, i'm not good at designing things.
