I don't know but in my experience gradients and colors like this don't really work well on a t-shirt! I would like to see how this designs look when they are put on a t-shirt! I'm not saying that they are not great designs, I'm just saying that they would look better on a painting or on a wallpaper but not on a t-shirt! But hey this is just my opinion! ;)

Hi rudyy... thank you for the comments and opinion that may actually affect the commercial viability of my designs .. i dont know where to start to give you a little knowledge on digital T-shirt printing. i believe the client has digital techniques in printing the shirt. We are still on the process of determining as to the methods that they'll be using in printing the designs. What you mean actually is the manual screen printing (which is obviously needs a little thinking when printing gradients). Just to let you know as well, ive been designing for how many years and gradient colors designs are fine specially if you have digital methods. Next time, when you comment on the designs of others please make sure that your statements would not destroy others chances of getting clients. Please read rule and regulations of this site.

I just want to see your design on a shirt so I can get an idea how it would look, because I can't really imagine it. And I've been doing designing too for many years now, and maybe I'm the dumb one but I just didn't seen this kind of a design on a shirt until now, maybe you can educate me and show me how it would look on an actual shirt, or maybe you can show some examples like your designs. And I don't want to ruin your chances to win this contest, just want it to be fair to the CH, when he chooses your design, how he will be able to print it on a tee digital printing or not.

Hi Rudy. This Alpha(one of the designers from Ayos account) what specific design/s are you talking about? Anyways, thanks for your comments. We'll wait for CH comments and see what adjustments can we undertake from there. P.S: Actually, this account is owned by three persons. The response above was composed by one of my co-designers. :)

Hi Ayos- are you recommending digital printing techniques to get the best out of your design? We are in the process of finding a printer in BC, Canada or the States. Thanks.

Hello freespirit. Actually yes. Digital printing would be great to capture gradient and half tone designs. However, you dont have to worry cause i adjusted the designs. Please see the latest three designs. These three designs are adjusted in such a way that they could be captured optimally through any screen printing or digital. As you can see, the colors are being stabilized (gradients and halftone are being removed). For entry#254453, i believe this can be captured normally since it does not have heavy gradient/halftone layout. But,we will be doing some adjustments on this particular design as well to ensure quality and color optimality. best regards, Ayos Designers

To Contest Holder (CH) : I want to point out in my entries, specifically Entry #256011, the snowflake is comprised of "people", male & female. (The blue represents male and the pink, female.) I did the second design to specifically enhance this characteristic. If you don't like my use of gradients, I can easily change it.

It's completely fair play. If your design is one of the top 4 from all contests combined, you win. Just make sure your entries are on all contests. This is the same company running 4 identical contests. You have more chances to win than if there were only one.

@csuribacsi: i understand your concern. as a designer, i wont put my design from 1 contest to another (even my rank is low or high). As far as i understand the instruction of the client, they will choose four different designs. I believe, if they choose one design in this contest, i dont think they will rechoose the design in the other contest. :)

hi designers- we are looking for four individual designs, hence a different design will win each contest we are running as only one design can win. We like so many of your designs, but we can only choose one per contest, so that is why we have run four contests. The standard of your submitted designs is so high i encourage you to enter your designs in all of them. thanks.
