Designer T Shirts
A Medium that is Rarely, Well Done
Do you think that designer t shirts have lost their 'status' in our modern, high-tech world?
Well, let me first ask you this question: Why is a t shirt similar to a t-bone steak?
Answer: It is a medium that is rarely, well done! Very profound isn't it...or more like playful.
So, is it a medium that is well done?
Is t shirt design something just done or is it an art?
Are we just designing because everybody else is doing it or is it something we enjoy and find a sense of accomplishment?
Just a few questions to ponder on in the meantime...
T shirt design is a medium (method or avenue) that hasn't quite got the so called 'status' like other mediums...tv, radio, video and web. Most of these high-tech channels have a lot more profile and glamor and are seen as the more important way of communicating.
In the advertising industry these mediums will be seen as above-the-line advertising.
I don't think t shirt design would ever be on the same par as the more mainstream mediums. Personally I don't believe it needs to be.
Because it is a smaller medium it is often overlooked and is seen as inferior and unskilful but that is far from the truth.

The art of t shirt design is a skill and craft that is vital in our every day society.

Designing t shirts is a market that is completely different to any other market. Designer tees are a trendy niche that changes and adapts all the time. It is also a niche that will always be around so long as they invent another piece of clothing to replace the tee (but I think the t shirt is here to stay).
So what do I mean by designer t shirts?
DESIGNER T SHIRTS ONLINE
Design your stylish t shirt online.
Stylish designed t shirts play an important role in the t shirt world. They are they créme de la créme or the blue chip of the shirt fashion world. They are not like the 'everyday t shirt' that we see and wear, but they are a 'styled t shirt'. They are especially styled and made to look and stand out from the rest.
Most designers work at creating an excellent t shirt. Whether its for themselves or to showcase for people to admire. With each designer giving their best work forward it does create a bit of competition. But a bit of competition is always welcome.
With this competing rivalry its keeps t shirt designers on their toes to come up with new and different and mind blowing shirts that give the t shirt world a better name.
I am not saying that the rest of the t shirt world, like the promotional t shirt (where hundreds are printed for advertising and promoting products) are inferior.
Each t shirt has a function and role to play. Sometimes the designs might not look as brilliant as designer t shirts but they have a job to show off products.
So in your designing remember that, t shirt fashion wear has its place in our ever changing world.
