We\u2019ve had a great response since launching our new t-shirt voting platform<\/a> only last month with more t-shirt submissions then ever. We\u2019ve hit an all time record with 82 submissions in only one month, crazy! Thank you to everyone who\u2019s taken the time to submit t-shirt designs to us<\/a>, you\u2019re awesome! <\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t seen your work on the voting pages just yet, don\u2019t worry. We\u2019re working hard to process everything, but we\u2019ll send you an email once it\u2019s live. Then you and your friends and followers will be able to vote your design to victory, giving you exposure along the way.<\/p>\n

Since the t-shirt voting launched we\u2019ve received positive comments from you guys. When we built the platform, our intention was to build it with our community in mind. Since day one, we\u2019ve installed a blue feedback button (on the right hand side) on the homepage of the voting section. Here you can drop your suggestions and comments on the voting process as well contacting us through the normal methods, email<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> etc. <\/p>\n

With that said, we love listening to your feedback and we\u2019ve collected all the data and we\u2019ve tweaked elements of our site to give you the best experience. Some tweaks are less obvious, but the biggest change is that the t-shirt combined score total has changed.<\/p>\n

Receive 30 votes And It\u2019s Off To The Printers!<\/h3>\n

As you might have guessed, we\u2019ve reduced the total votes a t-shirt needs before going to print from 100 to 30. You might be asking why the big drop? Well as more designs go to vote it becomes harder for others, in general, to make the overall goal. This is mainly because votes are more evenly spread among the designs. That\u2019s great for us as it shows you guys love the designs that are coming in. Looking at the voting data we found that the popular designs are getting lost within the sea of others. <\/p>\n

Instead we felt that popular designs are popular for a reason and therefore deserve a place in the store were people can purchase them, giving other designers better exposure within the voting pages. Our main goal of Graphic Tide<\/a> is to help promote artists (at any skill level) and give them an avenue of making money. But our artist commission program only applies to t-shirts sold in store. We could see a handful of t-shirts were getting a lot of buzz, so why not make it so that it benefits the artist even more? So that\u2019s what we\u2019ve done. <\/p>\n

From today t-shirts in the voting pages only need a combined score of 30. That\u2019s combining Graphic Tide votes and votes cast socially via Twitter. We feel that now good designs will be able to reach the target quicker, allowing us the give more exposure to artists whilst they earn more money. We didn\u2019t want people feeling frustrated when they see a design they love but can\u2019t purchase it without having to wait for t-shirt to hit the goal. With this update it allows other designers reach their goal too, so it\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n

T-shirt Designs Wanted<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re looking forward to helping more artists by getting more designs in store, ultimately helping you guys earn more money. If you or someone you know is an artist and would like to earn money, make sure you head over to the t-shirt submission page<\/a> for more information and add yours. <\/p>\n

The designs you submit don\u2019t need to have been specifically designed just for t-shirts. Your design might have been part of a project you\u2019ve been working on or from your personal profile. As long as you own the copyright, it\u2019s all good in the hood. We\u2019re always after t-shirt designers and it\u2019s free to submit, so why not add yours today and start earning money?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
