REAL SCENARIO, PLAY MY GAME

[mikewvp]

You are working in a marketing position for a Lubrications company. You contact a printing /design business to have T shirts made for a boat racing event. You restrict the artist to only 3 hours of art work at $35 / hr. The printing / design studio uses those three hours to make this:

You got me excited at "Lubrication company", then I saw the shirt design. Racing oil-rolled.

there needs to be something in between stoked and good start... i would be happily pleased.

[doubLe a tom]

yeah looks good to me. simple and gets the point across.

beat: the guy didn't like it. My company is pretty new and we can't be wasting time doing art for people who aren't going to buy, very lame.

basically anything with a white t shirt is gonna be crap imo

[Senor Cardgage]

I gave it a "meh". There's nothing at all eye-catching about it, but it gets the name and product across. And there's nothing terrible about it at all. I think it's a fine job for three hours' work.

EDIT: So I guess I'd say it's somewhere between a "meh" and a "good start". It's far from a situation where you'd demand your money back. You can't expect mind-blowing work everytime you contract somebody.

Its funny how [censored] some of the stuff these printing/design studios make. Well yeah, it's simple and works but nothing more. Most of the people who design this stuff is oldish, somewhat stupid people who know a little bit about photoshop but really lack artistical eye for designing anything.

Imo the best way to order a work like this is to get to know the artist and see some of his/her works. Then dont give any maximum time for designing etc, every decent artist knows that a project like this wont be a work of a lifetime and if they want orders in the future too, they wanna keep their customers happy.

the logo seems like it's too close to the neck but i've seen plenty of hillbillies wearing way uglier shirts advertising boats/oil/etc. i voted 'good start' fwiw.

edit: after looking at boring web site that's on the shirts, i think they look just fine.

meh. I can make that with mspaint in 10 minutes.
