		<description>Hi Debi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for your comment. There is no one place for this exact request. Take a look at Spreadshirt or Zazzle, you can use their libraries of stock imagery and text, might be good enough to create your design. That is also the place to sell it once you have your design ready.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you find you definitely need a graphic designer, you can try posting on the forums at Spreadshirt/Zazzle/Cafepress or&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get a freelancer - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/Graphic-Design/Graphic-artist-needed-create-tshirt.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/Graphic-...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;tshirt forums - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.t-shirtforums.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.t-shirtforums.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hire a designer - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hire-a-designer.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.hire-a-designer.com/&lt;/a&gt; (not used these guys personally)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Massive list of 65 other places here - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youthedesigner.com/2008/09/15/65-places-to-find-a-graphic-designer/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youthedesigner.com/2008/09/15/65-pla...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope it helps!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Adam</description>

		<description>[...] 3) Imitation is boring. This has two implications: I see a lot of t-shirts, and if what you’re doing doesn’t set itself apart in some way, I’m less inclined to give it a second thought. I also read a lot of t-shirt blogs (last I checked, I’m up to 50 feeds), and we like to be original and unique, too! So when you contact us, if you offer us something special (like some extra information that you didn’t give to other people, and advance notice of something ahead of everybody else, a unique coupon code, etc.) we’re more likely to shower you with praise.

		<description>From a retailers&#039; and consumers&#039; perspective... I&#039;d say that if more than one blog ends up featuring a design... then you&#039;d be on a winner and I think it validates the repetition... as it encourages the retailer to produce more rocking designs... and it also encourages the consumer to make a purchase as more than one blogger would recommend the brand or design.

For a small list (I&#039;ve probably missed quiet a few) of t-shirt bloggers... head on over to my post on &#039;Who Is The Leading T-Shirt Blogger&#039; and feel free to add your own in the comments. Shaka-brah!</description>

		<description>Hi Adam, good post. Although I just recently started blogging about shirts, I understand your problem. I created a kinda nice blog, I blog about one shirt a day, and cut all pictures so that only the print is visible, and give the possibility to view shirts on color, on price and on tag.

The problem with some blogs is that if a new shirt gets printed, everyone writes about it. So you see the same shirt appearing 5 times or so. I blog shirts because I like them, but sometimes I know they have appeared on other blogs months ago, I just hope my audience doesn&#039;t read all those blogs :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the positive comments. I dont think affiliate links are bad, just that you need to decide if your the bbc or newscorp. You cant be both, but if your reputation is good enough theres no harm in throwing in an affiliate link for something you really like (the stuff at karmaloop) is a good example.  I&#039;ve never done it yet, but wouldnt rule it out for one of my new sites.</description>
