TYPESET/DESIGN. or lack thereof.


Thos shirts loook SOOOOOO plain, i could do the same thing in 10 mins.

They look drab and boring, completely and totally uninspiring.




And, nowadays you are especally wrong, in the last couple years ive heard more "shit that word on that shirt look awesome" than ever.

i'm in the business... people buy stuff based on what catches their eye and what they think looks good. your average person won't look at a shirt and say "hmmm that's a cool font, i think i'll buy that shirt"... they'll look at a shirt and say "damn that looks sweet!" because the design, as a whole, is appealing to them. they might not even understand from a design aspect *why* the shirt looks cool. in fact, there are many people out there who buy things with designs they don't understand just because "well it looks cool"

what i'm saying is... rather than just using plain boring fonts, why don't you try to do something creative? not only will the t-shirts display a message that is understood by forum geeks worldwide, it will appear to be an interesting and eye-catching design to those who don't understand things like "O RLY" and "Y HALO THAR".

omfg..where to buy???!

I'm in the business as well, not quite as professionally or as well trained as lucid, yet i do believe that my understanding of design is slightly more developed than your average bear, and lucid is completely right. you arent just buying a phrase, you are buying a small piece of art. when you make it so cheaply done and annoyingly dull by using the default windows fonts you take away from all that makes the shirt appealing and interesting to they eye.
