Who influences the designs of the clothing and the stores themselves?
- OSFA0
Ok haters... let's try something.
Why don't you start a project/brand and let's see if you can bank millions in just a couple of years.
(I know this would be extremely easy and not a challenge at all since you know much more and are ten times more talented than any of the designers and artists working for JohnnyCupcakes, but let's play anyway...)
Let's see who makes it to $1M first....

OSFA - my thoughts exactly. It's a lot easier to sit on our asses and commentate on the people out there doing stuff.

OSFA.
No-one denies the fact that he has done well for himself but what I am saying is the product he is offering is fucking dog shit. I don't give a fuck that he has lots of money in the bank well done good for you. What I do care about is quality and the actual product he is offering.
Something you clearly don't care about, you only seem to be impressed by the money, ergo. I would probably never want to work with you, because you simply don't give a fuck about anything but money.
The packaging is good thats it.
- it's a fucking cotton t-shirt, you can't honestly get this opinionated on a shirt with paint, can you?monospaced
- Sorry. Are you saying that you think the t-shirt itself is dog shit?monospaced
- maybe it's not good for you chossy but there is a market for his stuff...obviously.cbass99
- I'm utterly disinterested in talking about sales and market.chossy
- chossy... c'mon man, you're gonna get that hurtful over t-shirts? You don't know anything about me dudeOSFA
- and I can assure you that money is not what moves me. At all. I'm not basing my opinion onlyOSFA
- on the $, but also on the concept of 'the brand'. From designs, to packaging, to stores to....the culture. Isn't that the point?OSFA

to each is own I guess.
I like this brand a lot regardless of how much money the guy makes from it ; designwise I think it's pretty consistent. As many stated everything has been taken care of, there are a lot of small details to apreciate ; from the tshirt label in form of potholder, to the wrapping paper, the little gazette, or the happy meal like packaging....
I personally find the logo great, strong and bold.And lastly I apreciate the brand spirit ; streetwear but not hardcore. not taking itself too seriously but yet being done with a lot of care.
For now it's mainly tshirts and accessories, but I'm looking forward to see how it evolves. I t would be nice to see a line of denim or dedicated jackets/winter apparel.
- Like I said... isn't that the point of good branding???OSFA

Dude miguex said exactly what I said but he / she was allot more polite than me. I'm saying I like the presentation and that is all.

I thought and still think death and cupcakes is pretty clever.

"I respect and admire the following he created, his designs are clean, just not my style."
compared to
"The packaging is the only thing I like, the contents of which is without exception absolute dog shit."
sounds pretty different to me, and just not in a matter of politness.
but as I said, you're free to not like it, hell I'm just buying some stuff from the guy's brand.
- scarabin0
wasn't there a scandal a few years back about them stealing other people's designs?
or was it vice versa?
- chossy0
Hey dyspl this is the post of miguex which you should be quoting playa.
"Totally, I think everyone here as graphic designer could appreciate what this guy is doing brand wise, presentation is impecable. Ok, so you wouldn't wear a cupcake graphic on your chest, I understand that, but just means the whole concept is not for you. Objectively speaking and as a graphic designer, this is pretty cool"
- dyspl0
yes I could have quoted this one as well and I fell it still going with my point, being that you don't seem to express the same thing.
adjectives such as clean and pretty cool, doesn't mean the same thing as dog shit to me. But really I don't care.
I just find it funny that you seem offended by somthing as harmless as me expressing a different opinion while in the same time you call someone else work dog shit.
- chossy0
... what the fuck are you babbling about?
- just thinking you sound utterly bitter that is all.dyspl
- 100% positive English is not your first language. Cause you have missed pretty much everything I have said.chossy
- Also where the hell did you get the idea I was offended by your opinion? I even called you playachossy
- playa!chossy
- I hope so, since I miss the choss casts.dyspl
- ha ha those halcyon days.chossy
- but really this sounds really harsh to me :
'The packaging is the only thing I like, the contents of which is without exception absolute dog shitdyspl - without exception absolute dog shit'dyspl

Nobody should buy this brand unless you're a teenage girl or younger. I can't see taking any of their models seriously.

What's your favorite childhood cartoon? I'm going to have to go with Ren & Stimpy or The Real Ghostbusters.
- Don't forget Underdog, Mighty Mouse, maybe Johnny Quest? I see Hep cat is already taken, damn.ZOOP
