Tee Shirt Comment

So many of you were very interested in submiting designs yet now that the time is here to deliver, only one person has sent Adriana or me a suitable design. Was all the other all empty and only for show?

Bill, is it ok for you to tell us which design you have received so far that is suitable for printing?

The only design I have gotten, ( actually 3) were the compass designs. I am sorry you didn't approve of my handling of the tee shirts contest but those most vocal with their complaints, take a good look in the mirror.

The stuffing has been knocked put of the contest by endless delays and squabbling from the usual suspects if it doesn't go anywhere then that's life.

too bad that people put the effort into making designs and then aren't sending them in so they can be placed on tee's to be sold. what's it take? an email? i think all the designs that were being "voted" on should be up there on cafepress and let the actual sales do the voting, as someone else suggested.... whatever happened previously is water under the bridge - so let it go.

I am very busy at the moment buying a new home and selling mine. I am not really spending more time on the t-shirt, I did my best, and it got out of hand. Let the more passionate ones print it.

Bill you were fare and with good intentions, you just cant get serious with "all the usual suspects" Buena suerte.

The truth will set you free.

Well, what incentive does anyone have to send in a design now?

It's like asking the loser of a contest to re-submit his entry.

For some people that designed their shirt, they didn't originally make it in a format that could be submitted. So it takes some time to re-do it.

The winner will still get a free shirt after everything gets settled and the winner will still get the fame of producing the design, just like it has always been

Again, this is the same problem that plagued the "contest" in its previous iteration. I think people need to know exactly how and when a winner is going to be chosen for it to actually seem material.

If you need help converting the images for printing then let me know. But I'm guessing that 75% of the submissions would have to be re-made.

Adri is handling the images. I will wait a while and then establish an account with the printer and let that take it's course

how many t-shirt threads will there be lol

GringOrion says on Aug 16, 2009, 17:17:

once the designs that were involved in the voting thread are submitted to be placed on cafe press, if sales are going to determine a winner, then there should just be a set amount of time to allow shirts to sell like a month or two and then choose a winner directly from the best seller in the time limit placed on it. i think a month or two ought to work. most of the designs were simple enough to recreate at 300 ppi if necessary.

Bill Turley (Moderator) says on Aug 16, 2009, 17:57:

OK That sounds reasonable so lets say 6 weeks after we place the designs in an open market situation like CafePress we will determine the winners. Now how much more time for the submissions

Why not the first of the year so it can pick up the Christmass sales :)
