Sorry.i have edited the url.you can view it now
Price is USA dollar? Seems high. A better price point for good quality ringspun cotton (Next Level, BellaCanvas, AA) would be mid-20s. Upper-20s low-30s is more the range of special women's styles, like Dolmans and Scoops in a Tri-Blend. I don't think men's crack 30 no matter what. That's my perspective, YMMV.

Seize the Day works well. The Steampunk one does not work for me, and I read SF and go to conventions. The JA one ... I see the armor, and I get that, and the art is competent, just not sure if it is the right look ... I think a more realistic halftone-based approach on black might do better. Also, the JA one seems to be a pretty specific interest area, so if you can't get it in front of those specific people, it wouldn't do well.

In general, the graphics style works well for the Seize the Day shirt, as that is just a representation of an idea/concept. The other designs, while still representing ideas, are doing so by depicting various gear and hardware which (I think) would benefit from photorealistic treatment rather than the flat vector art style.

Take it for what it is worth. It is your gig. Only you can do you.

EDIT I forgot to mention my pet peeve. Your brand name is not a product or content or art. Include a small logo under the art, or some such, if you want, but no one wants it by itself across their chest. You are not Nike. Nike didn't sell stuff with Nike printed across the chest until they had already made a huge name for themselves selling shoes. At least you have actual content/art on your shirts, so are ahead of 90% of those trying for a line of their own.

Thankyou for your feedbacks.I will work on areas im lacking.
Is the steam punk one supposed to look like a jet pack? Maybe play up that idea. The one that just says the brand name is not going to sell and besides the text is too small for that shirt.

The seize the day is interesting

The seize Carpe Diem rocks. My son wants one.

As for the logo on the chest, why not put it on the left sleeve?

When I was growing up in Cleveland, OH...so long ago...there was a t-shirt company called Daffy Dan's. They did radio advertising and the tag line was "If it doesn't have a D-D on the sleeve, it's just UNDERWEAR!" I put my logo on my left sleeve, partly because I want to honor Daffy Dan, but also because I kinda like seeing it there and knowing that others who see it may remember it.
Don't change your logo (which is totally cool, BTW) just move it to the sleeve!!

OMG, I just checked and Daffy Dan's is still in business!! Such a part of my childhood. I hope someday, somewhere, someone looks back on my company and smiles.

Cool designs.

That is the front of the tshirt.my design is on the back
G'day Mate,

Love the Carpe Diem the most. The samurai one is appealing to me but I'm not 100% on the design - feels a little busy without the payoff.

I really like your simple webdesign layout - very straight forward and user friendly.
i saved the carpe diem for last hoping for a big payoff,
now i'm going to have nightmares for a week

is there some cultural allusion to 12:34 that i don't understand?

your 'about us' page reads like it was created by an algorithm/bot,
unless you yourself are an algorithm/bot, then well done!
your odd use of periods makes me believe you are

here is an example of the verbiage:
There is no problem in being confused on which street wear to choose.
After all, there is a lot at your disposal.
It is for this reason that we offer to advise you accordingly in the process of making your choice.
Your tshirt design are good , but you can make as trending topics or designs.

Yeah, this reminds me a lot of the English subtitles on the Chinese TV series that I'm watching right now. So I'm gonna guess that English is not the OP's first language.

Regarding the original post in this thread, people need to be able to relate to your designs or else they won't buy them. Why would someone want to buy shirts with those designs on them? The letter A is the worst one. Why would anyone want to buy a design that's basically just the letter A. Come on now.
I have a pretty good understanding of why people buy t-shirts with designs on them and what kind of designs they like. You have a decent level of graphic skills. You just need to focus on understanding what people like.

Piggybacking off of Bougie

With any "Clothing Line" ambitions, you still must follow Marketing 101 rules:

"Find a Niche and Fill it!"

You must detach yourself from your own hype and ask yourself some tough questions:

"Who is the customer that will say..."I must have that shirt!"
"Who is your customer that will contemplate not buying a need because they want my shirt / my brand?"

Those are just two questions. Your goal is to answer them honestly and get in the face, place and space of that answer. #Period

Kayne West can put his name on the side of a sack of manure and some people will buy it...why? Cause he has a brand following that goes beyond clothing...that actually started in the 90's. As weird as his brand may seem, a segment of society has bought into that brand and what it stands for.

In general, you can't just put some unique designs on clothes and say "buy me". Consumers FEEL first, especially in the WANT market.

We had a young guy invest in his brand over $17k in full-coverage shirts in 2015...he never broke even. Why? He refused to answer those two simple questions. Sure, we gladly accepted his $17K but we also strive to help all our clients become a success. We have helped many make six digits while others have crashed and burned.

Those that succeeded developed a brand following and their designs birthed that brand into merchandise products.

Hope this helps,

Jae
