I wouldn't worry about Fireworks - they bought macromedia in 2005 and as far as I know they never did anything adverse to Flash. They've got enough going on with bastardizations of Photoshop, they probably won't also try to mesh Fireworks into it. Adobe seems to like having multiple products that do similar things by different approaches.
I make t-shirts at home & sell them in camden, but I want to get into printing them anyhow this is very cool for you guys & I'll keep an eye out for it. FAP!
when we did screen printing at school we had to hand draw the designs and then copy them on to a screen, are you gna do that? or is there a way to do them on the computer and transfer them direct? xX
Hey Alan, your website has been the best free resource out there for learning about the finer details about YouTube and online video. I go to your site for the content - it doesn't matter how it looks.
Although, I have to admit, I did like old dark + orange layout a bit better. I'm also noticing the "home" button on the top bar behaves differently than the "about" and "news" buttons. There is a little indent when you are on "home" but there is no equivalent for when you are on about or news.
this is really awesome (surprise surprise) that your getting into t-shirt designing and eco friendly one's too! I have a few designs that i've drawn in my art book over the past (i swear i will attack someone for a scanner) so i can't wait until some comps can come up XD DFTBA
its people like you that make this world unhappy, whay so negative? hes just trying to get the information across, and also he isnt a very wacky person hes reserved its who he is.
Im not unhappy im a go happy go lucky chappy and im voicing my opinions thats what youtube is for!!! so am i wrong for doing so? im just saying his voice is proper boring!!!!! i am totally not unhappy im the total oppisite :)
I'm really excited to learn more about this shop! Do you think they would consider doing custom shirts? I would love to be able to take some designs from my artwork and see it on clothing!
that is SO ridiculously awesome!!! can't wait to see the designs! oh, and a suggestion: don't make all the shirts for girls in pink and light blue. i NEVER buy those... unless the design is over-the-top super awesome.
but yeah, stray away from that. some clothing lines offer almost ONLY those colors. SO annoying!!!
oo this is soooo cool!! lol i cant wait!! are you just going to make a web site for them? cuase that would def be easier than just taking email...well i think it will be anyway...lol =)
When you have printed some, it would be really awesome if you could somehow either show some in your video or give a link because that would be really cool to be able to see them and possibly buy some. Anyways, congrats, it sounds like such a cool project!
I hope the t-shirts aren't too expensive because I'd really want one, but mainly just for the novelty of having one more than anything else so I definitely wouldn't be willing to spend 30 :P
hmm... I guess that the USD is kind of cheap right now, and that you said they weren't going to be too expensive, so... I think that I'll buy one if they're cool. I'm in need of T-shirts made of awesome.
Shirt business sounds great. Thanks, Johnny for asking. Thanks Alan for answering. But.... "which I'm sure is operated horribly" about a competitor with no evidence cited is probably not in line with the ethics you espouse. I love you, but you made me wince on that line.
have you ever thought about doing a career in radio broadcasting? i think you have a really nice voice that would go well on the radio. um, that sounded bad. idk how to explain. you just have one of those great voices that you always hear on the radio!
i found this website just like urs.. cafepress. c o m /teetime8

about how much would the be? because as you said, a lot of us are the younger group who can't/won't through 30 bucks at a shirt.
for me its never more than 20, usually with shipping, unless its a superbadass awesome shirt. :)
