I like the "yer gonna die" shirt. In fact, I may get one.

Naw, that is just too easy...

didn't get it. sorry.

(are you saying I should take up golf? cause that's all the pic was). I find golf boring and too pro-establishment for my tastes. I'd rather die.

Just having fun. Your line that I quoted was just like teeing up a golf ball for someone to drive...

hehe...I'm used to the "softball" version of the joke.

There, you are doing it again!!!!11

I like the "yer gonna die" shirt. In fact, I may get one.

I can't help but wonder how many people in the real world would recognize a RC.com joke for what it is.

I wore Sunny's "Free El Cap" shirt down in Chile and got A LOT of smirks. And I'm not even sure anyone down there (with the language and distance and content barriers) is probably able to put the words "Free" and "El Cap" together appropriately. In fact, I wonder how many had even heard of El Cap. Yet they ed

Hmm. That's really interesting. I wonder what they found funny about it. Maybe just simply that they know of "Free Tibet" And that that's not what the shirt was?

That's what I assumed, yeah, but I never asked anyone (because I couldn't!)

It's a really great idea and list. I would just simply change the font. Something bold and simple.

So, I added another new design and someone has already bought an item with it on it. It's also getting a good amount of viewing traffic in the shop, despite it being fairly low on the overall page layout.

I am not really happy with the design, and will be redoing it at some point, but don't really have any inspiration as to what to do yet. So, while it is in limbo, let me ask for critiques by anyone who might be interested in giving some feedback.

Here's the design:

On the dark print colors(black, chocolate, navy) on light shirts, it is readable. But the light color print isn't really, I don't think. So, until I redo it, I can't add dark color shirts to the category. I usually do a pale pink, light blue, light tan and light grey, and these colors are just too subtle for the font to carry and be readable from any distance.

I could keep the font, and add a background, I suppose, but I'm thinking maybe just choose a bolder typeface.

Is the simple countdown list enough, or would you rather see a more artsy graphic, with maybe some sort of other elements involved besides just text?

Also willing to take suggestions on other "top 10 things" (people say to climbers) since I am considering a redo from scratch.


And on another note - this week I am going to be announcing a promotion that I'm running. It's actually already started, and can be found here:

I know that when I was first yelled up "Yer Gonna DIEEEEE!!!(I was on the 2nd pitch on Mike's Book in Joshua Tree, and some dudes driving down the road in a car were hanging out the windows, music blaring) I was in 7th Heaven.... hahahah

I do my graphics in Illustrator. Once in a while I want o use an effect that is in PShop and I'll open the file in that program to work it. Like the Chrome Wings design, or the ones that have a photo image. But I am pretty poor with PShop. Not that I am so hot in Illustrator.... but most of my stuff is text and vector-based.

To get the Illustrator file to PNG, you simply "Save for Web" and it offers the choice.
