So... I received an email from Threadless last week saying that my tee design had been rejected!! The reason being..? Because I had 'apparently' used imagery that I do not have the rights for. I am assuming they were referring to the picture of the girl I had in there previously, as it was not a Threadless model.
The silly thing is though - that I purchased that image from iStock, so I thought that WOULD give me the rights to use it in something like this?? Anyway, I queried Threadless and they never got back to me... so I've decided to go ahead and change both the images over. It was really hard to find a good image of models wearing plain black t-shirts from the images they provide you - but I thought these two that I edited in photoshop turned out ok. I think I actually now prefer these 2 than the first ones I used! heheheeeee
I don't really have any expectations for this design - I think it will be too 'boring' to win threadless... but I really wanted to do it because if I saw a tee like this I would buy it, cos I would know it would go with everything! I like having some 'stand out' shirts, but then some more subtle ones are good to have too for the every day wear.
Anyway, I've still got to wait 4-8 days for threadless to approve the design (fingers crossed!) so that people can actually vote on it! So I'll keep you posted :)
