focus group

Okay people, I need you to focus. I need your input and opinions on a few things, and seeing as you're all impartial and all, this should work handily. I'm developing a few design-y things to sell. Woulja buy 'em? what do you like/dislike about them?

Let's start with some Kid's T-shirts. The mockups below look like just straight imprinting, but actually I'll be printing the images on fabric and then appliqueing them onto the shirts. The girly shirts will use rick rack around the edges. the boys images will peek out of windows cut in the shirts.

Next up, a series of 4 greeting cards sold as a set of 8. Forgot your sister's birthday? Send an "oh crap!" card. Need to congratulate someone on their new job? "SWEET!"

And for your final question: if you were naming a crafty gift company which name would you prefer- Twisted Little Puppy(TM) or House of Heathens(TM)?

I thank you in advance for your opinions, they mean a lot to me. I'll leave this post up for a week and then it's coming down!

appended to say: feel free to comment anonymously, I won't hold it against you!

4 - Twisted Little Puppy. Definitely. I see lots of opportunities for cute yet naughty logos. In my ever so humble opinion House of Heathens is limiting and doesn't cover the cute yet wicked thing you're going for. Love the notecards. I already know a store that would benefit from selling them. (Comment this)

5 - well, miss sassy! thanks for weighing in! it's so hard being subjective of one's own stuff. The store you mention could certainly place a whole sale order ! wink wink nudge nudge! (Comment this)

6 - I like Twisted Little Puppy myownself. I would wear any of the tee shirts myself, but people are always looking for cool (not your ordinary) shower gifts etc. I will need quite a few of the "oh crap" cards...can I buy a gross? (Comment this)
