Top 10 Shirt Design Contest Websites
In my previous post 5 Shirt Related Ways To Make Money Online, I mention using shirt design contests as a way to make some extra cash. When I first decided to write this article I was going to write about any contest sites that I could find. I was surprised to discover that there were more of these sites than I could possibly cover in one article. Instead of covering as many as I could, I decided to focus on just ten of the best.
Mandrillus Sphinx
“Mandrillus Sphinx” is a new design on Threadless by Rafael Bastos. It features a furious Mandrill. The design was done over the course of three days, and completely by hand. If I hadn’t known that I would think it was created by a perfect maze creation algorithm and then colored in. Even though I wish it was slightly smaller, it’s a unique take on shirt design that I have not seen before.
We Were Tomatoes!
Anthropomorphic food is a common theme among shirt designers. “We Were Tomatoes,” walmazan’s most recent printed work at Threadless, is a great example. The design depicts a ketchup bottle chasing tomatoes with clearly bad intentions. It retains walmazan’s illustrative style, and like his previous design, “The Tragic Story Of Romeouse & Julirat,” you feel for the characters while laughing at their situation.
The Tragic Story Of Romeouse & Julirat
“The Tragic Story Of Romeouse & Julirat,” is a shirt that’s just finished being scored at Threadless. It’s by an extremely talented designer named Wenceslao Almazan, otherwise known as walmazan. He’s got a very unique illustrative style that I think is great. Out of his many designs I think this is one of his best.
Vote For Paste At Threadless
“Paste” is a new shirt design that is in the running at Threadless. The designer is bortwein, and I find the graphic to be very clever.
