Would anyone be interested if I made this zombie tee

posted about 1 month ago by Jon Kruse

Would anyone be interested if I sold this zombie tee for $12 printed on tultex and one color instead of two colors.

I’m going to rework the design before I print it. Just make sure the texture works better and kern the type some more.

What do you think?
Good idea?
You’re an idiot Jon, no one wants to buy your stupid tee?
I wouldn’t wear tultex?
Sell this to hot topic?
I like the idea but the shirt sucks?

    Maybe change the fonts to be a lil more zombie like, whatever that is? Dunno... personal opinion, that’s all dude.

    I’m not that picky about shirt brand, as long as it’s not a burlap sack I’ll wear it. Thats a yes from me.

    what if you put "the other person was killed by a zombie"

    i also think the type is good as is and go with two colors

    I entertained the idea but No.
    It’s not a joke if I do it that way. The whole concept is everyone likes zombies. Not 4 people like zombies and one person was killed by a zombie.

    What are corky spencer type shirts?
    I did a google search but nothing came up

    Also how would I sell it to Hot Topic? Does anyone have any connections? Do I produce them and sell the shirts to Hot Topic or do I just sell them the design and they do the rest? :)

    Pitch this to hot topic and I guarantee they decline and you see something similar in their stores within a few months.

    i think zombies are a flooded genre, and, though this shirt is neat, it just doesn’t pop out.

    I agree to an extent. I like simple text shirts and that’s what this is but I do feel like I can push it farther with artwork. With this financial crisis I’ve taken a big hit on US sales and with this shirt I was going to try and offer it at a low price to drive in more sales.

    I would love to print some of the shirts I have hidden from emptees view but I simply don’t have the money to print more gnarly 6 color shirts right now.

    This looks like something you would see on BustedTees or a site like that. Did you try to contact them?

    But I agree with faithbydesign, all of those places are shady and you have to watch

    i think its needs more zombie lol

    ok seriously its a funny shirt, and the placement & typography are good, but i think it just needs a little something more. the cliche area of my brain is thinking blood splatter, which you could use that red on...but once again you may not be into the whole splatter thing.

    but if it just had one more thing going on background wise using that red you have going on in the bottom text i think it could make it pop a little more.

    just my 2 cents! ;p

    I don’t think it’s a flooded genre in general but it is for Halloween.
