We have been extremely busy improving the user experience at You Design It in every possible way. We looking at every possible way to make You Design It the most pleasurable way to design t-shirts and purchase custom products on the web. Please stay tuned to our updates as we continue to work hard behind the scenes!

A pretty cool thing happened to us recently when we were approached by one of our favorite T-shirt blogs, Taddict. They had noticed the hard work we had been putting in by doing all of the guest spots at other blogs. They asked us if we would like to be interviewed and we obliged. I don’t want to give away too much because I would like for you to go check it out. Click on the image below to follow through to the interview.

One of the newest t-shirt design communities on the internet is Ink-Hound. They’re almost like a hybrid between sites like TeeFury that offer only one shirt at a time and design communities like Threadless. The difference is that only one shirt is sold at a time.  However, unlike other sites that sell only one shirt a day, Ink Hound makes their wears available for a week.  They do the same thing with hats also.

Last week’s shirt, The Eights, is terrific:

The cartoon character macabre style is very popular right now and this design certainly executes that beautifully.  The details are fantastic as well.  I love the anthropomorphized knife and the bloodied bone sticking out of the central character’s head.  This certainly does look like a dangerous bunch.

Yesterday’s Teefury shirt is extraordinary.  Really.  Check it out:

Robbie Lee has served up an original, interesting design and many people will probably enjoy wearing it simply for the fact that it will say “Extra-Ordinary!” on their chests.

I’m really liking the thick, amusing hair that the robot has.  It really adds a great deal to the character of the piece. The gradients and fading is pretty cool too.

The following is the winner of the Shirt.Woot’s One Continuous Line Derby:

It’s a good design regardless, and I really like the placement, but the fact that it’s done in one continuous line really makes it amazing. Line art is increasing in popularity and Shirt.Woot prefers the single color designs making line art perfect for that category.

Threadless has a new shirt out which puts an amusing spin on the Little Red Riding Hood story.

This brilliant design depicts Red as an icy fashionista who happily kills the wolf for a new animal skin hood. The details and concept are exceptional.  I love the gun she’s discretely tucking away in the basket (or perhaps pulling it out to shoot herself some brand new shoes?), and the expression on her face is priceless.  The background scenery is also very subtle and well-done and does a great job focusing attention where it belongs on Mrs. Riding Hood.
