web designers are starting to make there own t-shirts. its almost obscene. I think it is cool and everything, I mean I am even guilty for attempting to create some, but I am just not sure why we are all so attracted to creating designs for t-shirts.
what do you think?

I am atracted to create design for anything!!

yup, and also why not foray into different things?

i think the promotion point is very good. I have often thought that sometimes in artists, as well as designers, it is not that the artist becomes famous because of the skill he/she possesses but instead the networking of peers and promotion that keep the artist's name in the spotlight.

yup, plus wearing something you made is cool. seeing your friends in thiongs you made is cool. lots of reasons, I actually came from a screenprinting background initially.

It's fun!
And there are no client restrictions.
And people see it, it's not hdden away on some website.
And I don't have to pay £30 for it like I would if someone else made it.

My first design work was a t'shirt. Actually it was also my first photo (photoshop) manipulation. I took out a Madona photo from the PHOTO cover magazine paste her head into a very large and fat women in bath soot, rebuild the cover magazine like it was real and changed the headline too "Fat its fashion".

Hmmm... thinking. Starting new topic.

I'm glad people do it. and I'd still like to print some myself.
As far as prices, I think people charge to much a lot of the time, which sort of takes the value out of it a little bit but I'd actually like to see more of it.
Just another medium to play with.
