If you’re going to start a clothing line, at least be original. Don’t expect to be successful if your designs consist of phrases in overused fonts and graphics that took a couple minutes to make.

I’m just irked because every “clothing brand” that I see people try to attempt consists of the things I mentioned above. A brand name with no meaning. Corny and often graphics of dumb shit like Mickey Mouse hands or original characters made with the pen tool in Photoshop. Quotes related to the area you live in, or “hype”. Every attempt I’ve seen is just the same boring shit over and over.

Two things that should go into design: Effort and concept.
Effort, in the fact that if you’re going to put artwork on a shirt, you would spend more than five minutes on that piece of art. I sure as hell will not buy a shirt with artwork that looks like it was made by a kindergartener.
Concept. Create (Not to be confused with idea stealing) something clever that would catch people’s eyes, to the point where it would make them tear apart the internet wanting to know where they could buy it. 

Again, effort and concept. These are the two things that lack when I see designs made by these clothing lines. My best advice for those who want to create a clothing line, but aren’t able to grasp these simple rules and are in it just for the money: Don’t bother.
