Eggheads T-Shirt at Design By Humans
June 9, 2008
You see this is the fun bit, for both you and me (honest!), I’m a t-shirt designer and I run a t-shirt news and reviews blog, and so unlike mortal t-shirt reviewers, I can create and submit works and let you in on the process, success or failure, it’s all still useful information I’m sur
We’ll call Eggheads a tester, I’d just written about my fave tees at DesignByHumans.com last night; my eyes were bleary, my fingers trembling with the possible onset of RSI (fingers crossed ouch), a strong coffee by my MacBook and a strange vision in my head, banging at the insides of my eyes, pleading for the possibility of escape. It was an act of kindness (for my own sanity), yet looking at the design in the clear light of day, and with a clearer head, I have to admit, this is one twisted t-shirt design.
I must’ve have been subconsciously picking up some scientific verbiage from a documentary channel (I use the TV others might use the radio), something must’ve climbed in there anyway. It has finally hatched and now I’m starting to regret it. Perhaps I should put it out of its misery, I give you EggHeads…

Here’s my profile at DesignByHumans.com - It really was a very simple sign up process, I didn’t even have to fill in any of my details at first. Once I looked at my profile I realised I needed to, but apart from that easy as pie. I would recommend that you submit gif or jpg images for the contest, unless you’ve submitting a very simple graphic I doubt that it’d pass their upload size limits, just 750kb for the full image, although make sure you have a spare version stashed away with at least 200dpi resolution should you win. I somehow doubt mine can compete, merely on the scale of the image, it was too late before I realised how much of the t-shirt they’ll let you spread your image across. I will probably do a few more for DBH and test the limits of scale and colour there. Fingers crossed I’ll win something there one day, who knows? Genius could jsut be round the corner.
If you’re as twisted as me and want to see people wearing t-shirts depicting cartoon genetic experiments then vote for EggHeads!
Read the comments for the latest news -yes I’ve had a rejection - yes I’m in talks to find out why - will let you know soon!






















































Does my design suck that bad? It seems that Design By Humans has decided to reject it and has left me with a long list and a guessing game to fathom out why. I’ve contacted them and I’m waiting impatiently for a response. The next DBH article will either praise them to the rooftops or slate their submission process. Let’s not have another Spread Shirt debacle DBH people! So essentially you can’t vote for Eggheads right now because DBH won’t post it on their site! I’ll keep you informed…
