Nice work!
Ok, widened the cougar and the type at the buttom, thanx for the feedback guys.
I would like to know something else: I thought I needed to create a new account for TeeVirus, but is it possible to use my Videosift account for TeeVirus or to change my name at TeeVirus (or VideoSift) so I have one account? Of course I would like to keep my original information the same.. Thanks in advance for the help!
In reply to this comment by lucky760: Ah, glad I saw this comment. There was a hiccup in the photo submission page and in fixing it, it looks like your uploaded photo got broken.
Considering the meaning, it doesn't really make sense to say a park bench is your shirt, does it? Or maybe it does to the younger folks (in which case I feel old). I think it might be even better if you drew a spread open newspaper on the bench so it could also be interpreted as "My other shirt is a newspaper."
I think the drawing of the bench is pretty well done for someone who is unfamiliar with Inkscape. I have a couple of suggestions. First, the bench seems to be missing its front legs. Also the bench seems stretched a bit too long. Finally, the text could use a bit of stylizing (e.g., font, size, colors, border, shadows, positioning, etc.).
I also wonder if the legs of the bench should be a different color like concrete gray just so there's a little contrast.
Again great first effort. I look forward to more from you.
I made a few changes based on your comments, thanks for the feedback.
In reply to this comment by lucky760: That's actually very funny. I like the phrase a lot, but its appearance could use a little improvement. Try using different fonts and size/spacing/alignment/colors to make it more "unique" rather than like something typed into Microsoft Word.
Side note: To eliminate all the excess space around your design in Inkscape, with nothing selected, click "File" then "Document Properties" then click the "Fit page to selection" button.
The content of your design carries a lot of potential, so I'm hoping you'll give it the oomph it needs to bring it up to the Smashing level.
I have an updated version of my "How some men take their coffee" shirt, but it won't let me post it. It says i've got text objects in it, but I've gone back, opened, made sure i've got all text put on "Object to Path" and tried again.
Ah ha! Worked a treat, thanks. Didn't know that had any baring on anything in svg land.
And thanks... simple, yet classy I thought
In reply to this comment by lucky760: Ah, just figured it out. You must have designed it while verrrry zoomed in because the design is super tiny. (Try opening the svg file in Firefox.)
Just select all and drag it much bigger in Inkscape then re-save and upload and it should work.
Btw, love your "classy as fuck" design.
In reply to this comment by spoco2: Any idea what's going on with this design I just put up? It looks fine in Inkscape, I can't work out why it's all blurred as a thumbnail on the site
After investigation, it seems as though the design could be in a borderline copyrighted region.. I'm not clear on the law about this though... Maybe I'll make it and show you for a decision or something
In reply to this comment by lucky760: Sorry, not a problem with your files. I've been making some server changes in preparation for our upcoming launch and some things are broken for a little bit.
I'll get your posts fixed asap.

Hi Desha,
Why is your name underneath the photo I uploaded to Tee Virus for "The Invisible Pink Unicorn Is My Imaginary Friend"

Very nice improvements (and so quickly too!).

Great first design, exurah. And welcome to Tee Virus.

That's awesome. It must be kismet. I can't wait to see your design in the Workshop!

whoa, this is really cool... as odd as this sounds, I have had a shirt idea for a while...
And really, it kinda looks better unblurred.
