Fuck Around & Find Out Shirt
Don’t Overcomplicate – simple is often best title. That’s true for many things in life and certainly applies to the designs used in screen printing t-shirts. Simplicity doesn’t rule out great drawings or inspired images, but it does convey your message in an effective manner. One or two colours can have far greater impact than a rainbow of shades and it will also keep your printing costs under control. Know the Market – identify your market and make sure your artwork appeals to the folk in that sector. It might sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how often this is overlooked. You can have the best screen printing in the world and still fall at the first hurdle unless the design resonates with your audience. Doing a little good quality research before any ink hits the cotton can swing the odds in your favour.

The design title, as mentioned above, was created by a child and that’s what it looks like. Well, either that or a pretentious artist. I was actually able to guess it was a potato before I researched it so well done, kid. My guess was actually “potato monster” but I like the title “angry potato” more. The ink is soft and smooth. I can’t find fault with the quality.
But let’s get back to the design. I get that parents love their kids’ artwork despite the lack of skill or perhaps because of it? And I could appreciate wanting a t-shirt with your kids’ artwork on it. I’m just not sure that people want other people’s kids’ designs on their t-shirts. Basically what I am saying is that I couldn’t see myself buying one of these t-shirts.
