I have been designing tee shirts since I was a kid. I’m 99% sure a certain toy company actually jacked my designs that I sent them when I was in 3rd grade. I have a few shirts I made with Custom Tee Couture, but they’re a little expensive. In college, I basically elected myself as t shirt chair of my sorority and even designed the Greek Week shirts one year. There are just a couple that I did while in college:
I’ve toyed with the idea of starting my own t shirt company, but that requires an investment that I just do not have at the moment. Enter one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen with Bonfire.You can check out how the whole thing works on their website, but basically I (and you! and whoever!) can come up with a design, pick a price point, and not have to worry about a thing else but getting paid and seeing the design come to life! The one small catch is that 5 shirts have to be paid for for them to be printed. If you don’t sell 5 or more shirts in the allotted time of the campaign, everyone who purchased the shirt gets their money back. No harm, no foul.
As a designer, you don’t have to worry about inventory, shipping, or anything! Just coming up with an idea that will sell. And with that, I bring you my first campaign! If Things + Tacos sells, I’ll probably keep designing and sharing and selling. If not, this was a fun experiment and I’ll take it as a learning experience!
