March 25’s winning design at Design By Humans is Punktipus by New York artist Manki.
Fancy yourself a T-shirt designer? You can put your skills to the test at Design By Hümans, a Web site where artists around the globe put their work out to be rated in the site’s Shirt of the Day, Shirt of the Week and Shirt of the Month contests. A design winning all three categories could earn you up to $3,500 in cash and store credit, plus residuals from sales of T-shirts bearing your design.
An additional contest running through March 31 is the opportunity to design a T-shirt for the London-based electro-rock band Temposhark’s “The Invisible Line” tour. The winner will be chosen by the band and will receive $1,000 and “other goodies,” whatever that means.
Those with no artistic skills whatsoever can shop the winning designs or peek at a T-shirt 101 tutorial which outlines the color processes involved in applying designs to shirts.
T-shirts sell for about $15 to $24. You can also earn affiliate dollars by sending other people to the site, like this: www.designbyhumans.com
Up for vote are “Employee of the Month” by Casajordi from France, and “Lonely Luchador,” below, by Gaunty of Bilbao, Spain.
