So what exactly makes this different from the thousands of other "clever" tshirt designs on zazzle, cafepress, etc?

You are (oh) so clever. Be the mother of my babies.

This guy isn't even offended, so just let it go. Good luck with your idea and keep what makeshift_robot said in mind.

As it has been said you can't really present this as a "clothing line" seeing as you only have a few t shirts and what looks to be one design. It's not really that bad a design, there's a bunch of shirts over at Urban Outfitters that aren't much different.

You honestly won't find too many people here that will help you if t-shirts is what you're all about.

If you were really interested in moving beyond t shirts, look at guys like temple of jawns, kent wang, etc that are on here that have small-ish clothing/accessories companies. I dont know if you have any actual designing talent in the way of clothes, but you might want to consider learning or hiring someone later down the line if you become very interested. At this stage in your life (student) it's probably not an option.

You might want to try other forums where graphic t shirts are more accepted.

Most people here endorse plain t shirts over graphics 99% of the time.

Thank you for your comments. I understand i cant call it a 'clothing line' as of yet, as I only have 1 design finalised..but thats what im hoping for somewhere down the line.

I've seen what your all into in terms of fashion, and graphic T-shirts are no where close to what you like. Im not offended in the slightest by the negative comments...i simply wanted opinions from a different perspective, so its pointless me taking the negatives to heart

If you want to start a clothing line start making your own clothes. Buy fabrics, make pants and shirts and etc. for yourself. If you enjoy it and the clothing comes out well, you might have a future ahead of you. But people usually fail to see fashion as what it really is... an art form. If you can picture the most beautiful painting in your head, that doesn't necessarily mean you can paint it well. People come to this forum all the time wanting to "start a clothing line" and they've never made any clothing. I don't know if you're in this position, but I am going to assume you are based on what has been said. Why do you expect to be successful in a business you know nothing about? Learn the basics, and then expand. If you don't like the basics it's probably not an ideal job for you. If you learn the basics and love it, then best of luck to you!

Can I give you some advice from someone who has been in the business for over thirty years.
Before you start investing your time and money on something that I'll assume you have done no market study on, written no business plan for and have one image which is not at all marketable. I would find a job, even if it's an internship for no money at a clothing design and manufacturing company. Learn everything you can and see if it's really how you want to spend your time and energy. Work for the Gap at retail for gods sakes and learn it's not as pretty as you might think.
I've observed so many who come here, have a hard on for the business and want to be rich and famous from t-shirts. Listen, the world has enough t-shirts. Be original and the next time you present to such a wide audience, give us something to sink our teeth into and be ready for a real critique on your well thought out designs.
