Not quite yet, it’s still only available in their men’s style tees. But you have the opportunity to change that! DBH are soliciting feedback on whether anybody would buy this tee in a women’s style:

UPDATE: you can now view the entire printing process that went into this design on Flicker, starting here.
Jeff Finley, in cooperation with Design by Humans, have set new heights for t-shirt printing with DBH’s latest tee, Jeff’s Bold Is Beautiful:
This print pushes some boundaries in three ways, and in combination makes it all the more impressive:
- it’s an oversize print covering nearly all of the shirt area, which requires some big screens and platens
- it was printed using nine colors to capture all the complexity of the original design; their separator, Dan, deserves some HUGE props
- to top it all off, this oversized, 9-color print has a soft hand… on a black shirt! Normally prints on dark shirts aren’t as soft because they require more ink to be opaque on the dark background, so this is all hugely impressive.
Well, congratulations DBH and Jeff Finley! The finished product looks absolutely fantastic.

P.S. Happy birthday, Jeff!

Should you hurry: no idea!
Seems like everyone loves Design by Hümans these days. Now, if you’re anything like me, you probably enjoy taking steps to always hurt the one you love (the one you shouldn’t hurt at all). So how can you stick it to DBH where it really hurts?

Gah! Gaaaaah!
Have you heard? There is a sale at Design By Hümans! You can get 25% off! That’s so many percents! To take advantage of this reduced price, you will need to use the coupon code: LUVDBH. Keep that code, memorize it, and treasure it forever.
Actually, forever is probably unnecessarily long, as the sale ends on midnight on Sunday1. So in fact, you have very little time to take advantage of this sale! There’s so little time that I didn’t even have the time to add a picture to the post. That’s how little time there is.
And if you’re in a generous mood, you can click on my DBH affiliate link to buy stuff. Or don’t. It’s up to you, really.
1 I assume this means the end of the day on Sunday, not the beginning. Ambiguous phrasing like this can cause all sorts of confusion, folks! For clarity, a good policy is to make deadlines occur at 11:59pm on some day—then there’s no confusion over which day midnight belongs to.
You may have heard how Design by Humans is launching something called ‘Fabric Edition’. Well, today they put up their first 8 custom Fabric Edition tees.
All Fabric Edition t-shirts are custom made in Southern California ‘from 100% ringspun, combed cotton; silicone and enzyme washed to perfection for an unbelievably soft feel’. They’re definitely going to be softer than the current DBH fare, because of the silicone and enzyme washes. They come in a variety of unusual and appealing colors, my favorite being Professor Plum:
These blank t-shirts are only $10, so if you have three shirts in your cart you might as well add one of to qualify for free shipping. And they want to hear your feedback on the shirts themselves, so don’t be shy! I’m looking forward to giving one of these a spin myself.

Expensiveness: $10 Fabric Edition / $19-24 regular
P.S. There’s already been one submission on the Fabric Edition tees, so check it out!
Here be another guest post by the famous (infamous?) Sven Palmowski (aka a.mar.illo), a member of the Fantastic Blognanza Coalition of Good People.
It’s been a while since our first DBH review appeared here at Fantastic Blognanza last fall. Since then, we’ve received a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of new shirts from California, so it’s about time to continue with a second part. These are only a few of our new favourite shirts, listed in chronological order:
One of the designs from Design by Human’s very first collection, even before they started holding contests, was Addition. It’s been sold out for a while, and I grabbed it immediately when they reprinted it. I really love that tee colour—it’s called “Cardinal Francisco”.
Click the pictures for a closer look!
Then, in September, Seed by danr was named Shirt of the Day. It features a simple design with suede leaves (they really feel nice):
We already have two tees by this Brazilian designer called ninhol. Mine is Welcome to Brazil, and this one is called Madre Tierra:
A few days after that came Dead Pony, Shirt of the Day winner for October 26th. A very cool design.
The Control Room is a very special shirt. The print goes from the front to the back! Amazing!
Let’s continue with flower, a design I made myself, which comes in a different colour for guys than it does for girls. I like the girls’ version so much better!
Another one of my own designs is Metropolis, a drawing inspired by the German art in the twenties.
Just yesterday we received a new package from Orange County (near Los Angeles), the home of Design by Humans. Despite the disclaimer that comes with Blackbird’s Attackin’ in the Dead ‘O’ Night, believe me, it’s still a great shirt! By the way, it just replaced Robot Attack as DBH’s best selling design.
Also with that last bunch came Made of Steel, another one of my own designs. They really did a fantastic printing job—I’m totally impressed!
Finally, here’s one of my and Carmen’s absolute favourites: All Is Vanity, by mathiole.
Thanks for the update, Sven! And until next time, everybody: putting antifreeze in your hot chocolate is not a wise way to preserve its warmth. See you later!
