Wow, awesome stuff! I love tees

Rob Barrett on Sep 18, 2008 said:
I love the boldness of the birds t-shirt, and that first one is very geek chic!
The orange-red against the light blue of the Japanese one works well, I think.
Roy Nottage on Sep 18, 2008 said:
There are some tees in there I would love to have! Particularly the CMYK one.
Though I’m concerned it could be quite expensive to ship to the UK (you know, like if there are hidden import duty fees – DesignsByHumans say there could be).
Do you design any of your own t-shirts Jacob?
Roy Nottage on Sep 18, 2008 said:
Oops, typed my website in wrong before (embarrassed now).
Something I’d like to know about these shirts are how they are printed, particularly how they get it over the shoulder.

I think my favorite would have to be the zebra at the end there. Not too much of a shirt collector myself, except for a few choice ones from Think Geek

Scott Westhoven on Sep 18, 2008 said:
Great T-shirts. I’ve had a difficult time finding a printer that would print so large. Everyone I talk to have limits because of the seams. Do you know what printer the designer uesed?

Eivind on Sep 18, 2008 said:
Love the CMYK one! I like them a bit geeky too, hehe. I was thinking about getting into t-shirt design myself, and as several other commenters have mentioned, I wonder how they get such a large print. Maybe they print before they sew it together?

I love the cut finger.
Great contrast, black & shining colors. Yeap, definitely we have a winner.
modemlooper on Sep 18, 2008 said:
You can make any size screen to print. Most printers just do the smaller sizes. Props to DBH for doing over size prints. I make my own screens have about 50 now and do oversize ones and whenever I wear them people jaw drop because no one does oversize and its graphically striking. I like doing multiple treatments on one shirt like screen printing and then using an iron-on top of that. I like the apple one simple yet interesting.

Steve Brown on Sep 18, 2008 said:
Great collection Jacob, bright colours and oversize printing not my cup of tea, but really interesting to see how much people do like it. CMYK gets my vote too.

Craig Farrall on Sep 18, 2008 said:

Roy,
I am actually in the process of designing 10 tshirts for a client in Egypt so guess so!
I don’t think there would be import duties, however I am not from the UK but you could always put “gift” to get it through. I am getting the CMYK one.
Lauren,
Yeah the zebra and the cmyk one are my favourites!
Elvind,
I am not familiar with the process but I am sure there is some info on the interweb on it!
Klaus,
They are also strong designs so it is hard to choose just one but I like the CMYK one just for the chic factor.
Ryan,
Have you got some pics of your shirts?
Steve,
They are my cup of tea, love em!

Yeah, Design By Humans have amazing tshirts that you won’t find anywhere else – but I’m holding out for them to start accepting PayPal for orders.

If you’re going to have affiliate links on these images, it might be worth the few minutes adding the product-specific links instead.
As far as I can tell, there’s no search function on DBH, so right now it’s a case of just browsing through until you come across it – make things as easy as possible for someone to buy, before they change their mind!
Brian on Sep 18, 2008 said:
A lot of affiliate links, but good designs nonetheless. Expect a commission from my – getting the CMYK and Bold Is Beautiful shirts. Thanks for the list!

Jacob Cass on Sep 18, 2008 said:
Rob,
There is only one link for affiliate so I had to use that otherwise I would have.
Brian,
I am getting the CMYK one too. The commissions I can only use to buy shirts from their site so it’s not like I am earning cash, just a free awesome shirt!
Zahira on Sep 19, 2008 said:
i loved that last zebra for some time now…..contemplating buying one if they’d only ship to my hidden corner in the world
Roy Nottage on Sep 19, 2008 said:
I might give it a go then, since I’ll just end up jealous if you get the CMYK one!
Will we get to see these t shirt designs when you finish? I’m intrigued.

Hehe, I’ve been almost obsessed with t-shirts lately. There are just so many cool ones. I even tried my hand at designing Ts, but haven’t succeeded… yet
It’s a great medium, for sure.

CurlsofRed on Sep 20, 2008 said:
So, these are some great designs.
I’m taken aback by the lack of variety in size of the graphics…everything’s *BAM* – right in your face. The ‘A is for apple’ and the star trek hand gesture are the most “simple” of the designs posted.
Not that these designs don’t have their place, because obviously everyone who’s posted has ranted and raved about them. But I think subtlety has some place in t-shirt design…while still being a powerful message.
I’m heading over to their website to check out more of their shirts…
Nick Healy on Sep 21, 2008 said:
These are some amazing designs. Especially the hand reaching for an apple and the black and white bird shirt.
I just started a clothing design company, One of Twenty, and this is the type of stuff we look up to and aspire to create.
Clifton Alexander on Sep 25, 2008 said:
Awesome. Love that huge printing, but like others have posted, I can’t get my screen printer to go that big!

Excellent stuff. I`m a t-shirt design junkie too, and you just gave me a neat fix!
Conrad Gorny on Sep 26, 2008 said:
The bird one is my favourite. Works well with the positive and negative space. +1
Jason on Sep 27, 2008 said:
A lot of these shirts are really great. The showcase some really good design skills. However, I tend to dress more to blend in then to stick out so I probably wouldn’t wear any of them.
Jacob Cass on Sep 27, 2008 said:
Dainis,
I haven’t actually looked into creating shirts like these myself so I am not really sure but Google is your best friend.
@All,
Thank you for your comments!
Ingenue_Em on Oct 15, 2008 said:
I love #2 – it’s gorgeous!
#6 – I’ve seen that ‘Bold is Beautiful’ typography before, is it a Go Media design?
Jacob Cass on Nov 13, 2008 said:
Yes it is from Go Media.
Morgan on Dec 13, 2008 said:
I just bought this t-shirt from threadless a few weeks back.

Most people wouldn’t even catch on, so its pretty funny to catch them staring.
Jacob Cass on Dec 13, 2008 said:
That is a great shirt Morgan, took me a while to figure it out too!
Nuno on Jan 31, 2009 said:
Where can I find them, I mean if I want to buy.
Jacob Cass on Feb 2, 2009 said:
Just click on any of the shirts Nuno.

Oh my God really awesome work and art… Lovely shirts
Molasses Fatts on Sep 4, 2009 said:
Can’t wait till the whole fractal design dies out, the shits may look cool but they don’t take a lot of work to create.
Richelle on Oct 29, 2009 said:
Some great t-shirts!!! Awesome..
anyone know of good places to find fitted T’s for women – or tank tops but for the chick designer?
Miracle Studios on May 6, 2010 said:
Nice design on t shirts.
C.K. on Mar 2, 2011 said:
I’m going to have to dissent here and say that I don’t like these designs at all. You should be questioning your design credentials if you can’t see that they are nothing but vacuous, faddy, photoshop hodgepodge. There really is nothing behind this stuff except to look “PRETTY COOL”. Ed Hardy for hipsters!

I’ll take the 11th shirt, just my type. I can feel the design inspiration.
