If you’re starting out in the tee game, and you’ve got ideas but don’t know how to get them onto your computer screen, then A Better Tomorrow (the German design contest and streetwear store) are here to help you. Andre (which is so much cooler than my way of spelling our name) has compiled a list of t-shirt design tutorials that should be able to getting you on track to creating a design that will be horribly mocked by people in Threadless submission critiques.

Google translate has actually done a pretty good job of converting this from ABTs native German, so it doesn’t read like an abstract poem.

Jenny doesn’t look particularly pirate-y to me, but that doesn’t stop me from liking this design by Sven Palmovski (aka a.mar.illo), if you don’t recognise the name, then you’ll probably recognise some of his designs from the myriad of t-shirt design competitions, keep an eye out and you’ll see him popping up rather often. Oh, and is it just me, or would this look really cool as a print?Costiness=€16 Link

I can’t be entirely sure, since mein German is nein gut, but I think that the gang over at A Better Tomorrow are having some kind of sale on all their ABT tees, and that it might be called the HumpTee DumpTee sale. All the tees are €16 as far as I can tell, but I thought their tees were always €16?

Still, there’s lots of good tees to be had, so check them out.

If you don’t think that a t-shirt consisting of video game control pads (with the notable absence of the Playstation clan) is awesome then I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself. Seriously dude, you used to be cool.Costiness=€16 Link

It seemed as if it would be a bit remiss of me to point out this tee when it was at the design stage and not let you know when it was available for sale… its available for sale now. Guess what, the design still looks really cool!

Andre from A Better Tomorrow dropped me a line a few days ago to let me know about their upcoming allover tee who Benny Kohl (whose Scribtee I reviewed back in November). Allover design are still hot property, and this one is a lot less jarring than some that you see, I can imagine it working nicely with quite a simple zip up hoodie.No word on when it will be available but expect it fairly soon.

Unglaublich! Ich kann fliegen!…. that’s what she said… Basically I have no idea what that particular bit of German means, so if what I said makes sense and is funny, awesome, but if not, it isn’t meant to make sense and that’s why its funny.

Not only do I not know what the name is in English, I don’t really know what is going on in the design, but I do know that it’s one of the cutest things that I’ve seen in a long time, which probably has something to do with how I think hippoes are amazing cute, even if they would bite your face off given half the chance. It’s not actually available yet, making this one of those rare occasions where I write about a tee that’s merely a submission in a design competition, but I thought it was worth a look.

*Andre from ABT has informed us in the comments that this design is a winner in their design competition and will be available soon, also, the title means “unbelievable! I can fly”…. uhhh…. that’s what she said?*
