better image placement maybe even break the image up a bit and spread it out around the hoodie, Id love to get one of these if you could improve it. This just looks hastily done for a quick buck to me.
Small improvements and I am all over this.

im not gonna knock you for your opinion because it is yours...but i am not slapping these things together as you had bluntly put (or intended)...placement on hoodies is a bit different than shirts and im limited to one screen setup per hoodie...so all the designs have to be built around a small sized hoodie...which means the most ideal placement on a small that will work all the way up thru XXL is in the direct center so i can keep the car images large and fill up most of the blank area with design stuff
most people have this idea that printing on clothes is nothing more than sticking the shirt or cloth into some kind of special printer and hitting print like a wide format ink jet or desktop style printer...it is quite the opposite and there is a lot of different factors i have to keep in mind while im designing these things...unfortunatly i have to limit myself at times to certain constraints that screen printing puts on designing stuff
alot of shirts you guys see at the mall at like hot topic or volcom or any other major apparel outlet are printed in huge bulk by companies in asia and what not...and most of these companies have special manufacturing methods that allow for full coverage of the design on a tee or they use certain inks that allow for better color...unfortunatly with my current budget and order flow, i cannot do or offer the same kind of printing methods or output they do in their designs...im working on changing that one day...but for now i am confined to traditional screen printing methods that somewhat limit what i can do
believe me when i say this...i work
VERY hard for you guys to bring you neat apparel that you would enjoy and also be proud of wearing because of your enjoyment of you car and the motorsports you participate in...the above design took me well over 16 hours to work up for you guys...creating the art for the cars isnt exactly an easy job to begin with...but then to actually work up a design AROUND the already existing cars which dont exactly follow fashion trends is another story altogether...but, please, dont think for one second that i throw these things together in a 2 hour period and plot to sell a few thousand of them just rip you guys off with shitty design work...i would much rather bust my hump making something that everyone can enjoy that takes me 15-20 hours to design instead of making a design that takes 2-3 hours that looks like shit...ive been an artist my entire life and i do not allow myself to release anything i deem poorly designed unto the world as it wouldnt be something i could stand back and learn from
