Black Eyed Perez T-Shirt Design (0)
Published on June 28th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
This is an absolute must see design! The biggest pop news item this past week before the unfortunate celebrity deaths of MJ and Farrah Fawcett was that of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton being punched in the face by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas’ manager. Perez went on a tear for days after the fact which included creating a very emotional video that has been applauded and mocked depending on which side of the fence you stand on the issue
Well…Popmonkey (the artist who brought us Zombama Brains) wasn’t going to just stand by and let this cultural event pass us by without creating a commemorative tee design. Without further ado, I bring to you the masterpiece that is the Black Eyed Perez:
The Evolution of A T-Shirt Design (0)
Published on May 22nd, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
Thanks goes out to MashKulture for bringing this one to our attention. The founder of the brand Fuct, Giorgio Di Salvo, shows us how he arrived at a final t-shirt design that reaks of awesomeness. It obviously began as a concept in the designer’s head, was moved to paper and ultimately grew up to be a successful printed design. It was a collabo with Vanguard.
Check our the pics at MashKulture.
Abduzeedo Picks Some Good Ones (0)
Published on May 16th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
Abduzeedo, a very prominent design blog, put together a pretty good list of t-shirt designs they found. It was cool to look and realize that the T Addict hadn’t seen many of these before. Some are great designs, some are clever and some conceptual. Either way, they don’t disappoint. It’s a solid list that’s worth a look.

In case you haven’t noticed, Liz at Pop Culture Tees has been doing some big things lately. Her most recent expansion is called Mr. Vector and it’s a high quality, royalty-free vector artwork packs. A quick once over of the offerings and the T Addict is blown away by the low prices and crazy good artwork. Congratulations Liz, we hope they sell like hotcakes!
Adobe Kuler Helps You Design T-Shirts (0)
Published on March 10th, 2009. By Blake, under T-Shirt Design.
I don’t think many people would argue that design is a very important ingredient for a successful t-shirt line. It’s a main component in generating sales and knowledge in the area is a must. With changing trends in consumer taste, you have to continually research the subject from all angles to keep up to speed. Now I understand that not all of you are the actual designers, but your eye for the design is just as important. I just came across an in-depth article on how you can determine what color schemes look best for your project.
As I was burning through my feed reader this morning, a tutorial from PSDTuts about the usefulness of the Adobe Kuler tool caught my eye. Their focus on this article was more for the full-time designer, who labors in Photoshop and Illustrator, but it can also be used for the t-shirt world as well. The colors in your design can sometimes be the difference-maker or deal-breaker, depending on how well they match up with the theme.
Adobe Kuler is a great way to find new color schemes or test the ones that you had in mind. The beauty of the tool is that you don’t have to be a tech genius to use it. Click on the image below to view the article and see how much easier it can make your next color scheme decision.
This guest post was brought to you by Blake Poutra, a guy from You Design It where you can design t-shirts.
Give This Design a Home (1)
Published on March 6th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
It has blown me away with the amount of good artwork for t-shirts on the interwebs these days. There really is no excuse to not bring your A Game every time you send something to print. Not having any design skills yourself is no longer an excuse. Case in point, this image:
This t-shirt design was created as a collabo by Corefolio and Gaunty, originally for Word Apparel, and is for sale. The designers have a post about it on Emptees and you can contact the owner, Levi Hardeman, with $250 or your best offer. This design NEEDS to be printed.
GodMachine - Tee of the Day @ Emptees (0)
Published on February 24th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
Coincidence or conspiracy? The Taddict is gonna have to go with coincidence when it comes to Godmachine having the tee of the day at Emptees and on the same day as being in the Designer Spotlight. Hell of a day if you ask me. 
Collision Theory Gets Abduzeedo Love (0)
Published on February 23rd, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
The very popular AJ Dimarucot, a.k.a. Collision Theory, got some design love today on the equally popular design blog, Abduzeedo. He was one of the features in their list of 50 Mind Blowing Retro Style Photoshop Illustrations. You should recognize his designs from seeing them before but they are always worth another look. Check out the article by clicking on the images below:
Don’t Forget the Presentation (2)
Published on February 12th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
Just when you thought spending hours on some sick design for a t-shirt was going to be enough, you find out the presentation of that artwork can be just as important. Have you seen the images in the gallery at Emptees? These designers are not only making designs that are unreal, but they’re also setting it up in a way that makes it irresistible.
Here are three that I saw today that really caught my eye based on the layout.
Mark Ward: T-Shirt Designer (1)
Published on February 2nd, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Design.
This guy’s work is sick. I stumbled across Mark Ward’s skills while reading Mash Kulture on a post about his collaboration with Burton Snowboards. I am hooked on the t-shirt with the sunglasses and the matching hat. It was certainly enough talent for the Taddict to check out his personal portfolio and apparently many of the big names in apparel have recognized his art.
First I need you to go to Mash Kulture to look at the pictures of what Burton has coming up. Then click on the screen shot below to see the rest of Mark’s folio.
Mark, if you have found this and are available for an interview….we’d be honored to get that rollin’.
