In other Strawberry-based news, you can get €5 off any of the Popdeck x laFraise shirts by using the imaginative coupon code of POPDECK, and they’re continuing their summer sale on the last page of their shop by cutting the prices by a whopping 50%, which is a discount not to be sniffed at, if indeed to you sniff at a discount.

Working from left to write in the picture, we have Afrobaby, Pop Corn, and Salaryman. Damn fine designs, each and every one.

Here’s a story from LaFraise that doesn’t leave the North American contingent of the readership feeling left out. Their Seattle-based (IIRC) blogger, J3concepts, has put together a nice round-up of Adobe Illustrator tutorials he’s found on the tutorial website Tutorialized. The tutorials aren’t necessarily geared towards t-shirt design, but they could be pretty helpful if you’re still getting to grips with the features in Illustrator. Heck, these tuts may even turn me into a t-shirt designer!
And don’t forget, you can still get 25% off your order at LaFraise by entering the coupon code LFSALES08 in the checkout.

Unfortunately, they still haven’t given the North American t-shirt buying public a kiss on each cheek, and those of you on the other side of the Atlantic still have to make your laFraise purchases through a special Spreadshirt US store front which lags behind the European version by quite a long way, although it has been restocked recently with a few ‘new’ designs.
Hmmm… the mighty strawberry are trying to tell us something, but have hidden it within some kind of impenetrable code:
Tomorrow -> August 2nd -> voucher code -> LFSALES08 -> -25% -> even on the 11 or 17 Euro shirts.
Can anyone work it out? It’s like an enigma, trapped in a riddle, surrounded my a mystery (I wonder if Winston Churchill ever thought that his description of Russia would ever be used to descirbe a t-shirt sale).

I bet you thought you’d never see the cotton filter again!
Shirt.Woot: As spotted by Jay, Shirt.Woot is now shipping to 45 countries beyond the US & Canadian borders, and are doing so for the low price of $5 too.
FFee Clothing: In other shipping related matters, FFee clothing are offering free shipping on all orders (even international ones) until the end of May.
T-Shirt Magazine: This site claims to be the only magazine about T-shirts whether online and off, which is… wrong (and Tcritic’s new look is farily magazine-like too), but lets not hold that against them, since there is some decent content on the site.
LaFraise: They can now print up to 12 colours on a shirt rather than the 8 that they had before, which is an increase of 50%… hurrah! To celebrate, they’re making up a test design (only 250 to be produced) called ‘Let’s Get Ready To Rainbow’, which I think is a pretty splendid phrase.
Threadless: If you’ve ever wanted to know, these are the people that do the screenprinting for Threadless (the art prints, not the tees). Also, here’s another magazine article fawning over Threadless and their business model, there’s pretty much nothing new in the article, but it does provide a decent overview.
Pete Wentz: Apparently he likes Local Celebrity clothing so much that he asked to take some after wearing it for a Fall Out Boy video shoot. Presumably he’s trying to save some cash for when Ashlee pops that baby out.
Creative Directory 101: A directory of sites for creative people, obviously, this will be helpful for people trying to get themselves set up in the tee biz (especially if you’re in the UK). [Disclosure: I'm still working on a HYA Directory that would crush compete with this site]
Pikiware: Mashable described this site as being the “Wordpress of Online Tshirts”, and since I love Wordpress and t-shirts I figured it was worth a peep, especially since the last time I found out about a t-shirt store from Mashable it was Design By Humans. From what I can tell, pikiware is basically a storefront system for people that print their own products, so that you can make your own Cafepress or Spreadshirt kind of business, though I have been known to make mistakes in the past, so I could easily be wrong. I don’t really see this being of huge interest to “HYA kinda people”, but since it does represent something kinda new in the tee world then I thought it was worth a mention.
Instructables: Here’s an instructable about photo-emulsion screenprinting, which I assume would be helpful for those of you that would like to print your own tees but don’t know how.
HipHipUK Discusses Crowdsourcing: This post seems to have become rather business-y, and this is the most business-y of the lot. Adam wrote an article a few weeks ago called “Which risks and problems will companies, that run Crowdsourcing business models, face in the future? Amongst other things” that I think should probably be a must read for any of you out there that are running a design competition or thinking about running a design competition.
Photojojo: They’ve got an article all about shooting pictures for use on eBay, but a lot of the techniques can also be applied to taking products shots for your tees and hoodies. There’s also a video on the same subject at Etsy if you don’t feel like reading.
Dadawan: They’re selling cool cushions now!
