The Clothes ON Your Back
As we develop and organize Global Entrepreneurship Week we not only come across some really cool organizations and institutions that help encourage people to think innovatively and creatively but often come across people that already think innovatively and creatively. One such organization is called Design By Humans. This company started by two brothers and their friends in California isn’t just a place to buy new tshirts. But it is a place for artists and regular Joes alike to submit their ideas for tshirt designs and have the Design by Humans community vote on the best designs. The winning designs not only win a cash prize but also get residuals for each tshirt sold through the site.
After spending the last couple days looking through all the winning designs for new tshirts to buy (I have an odd obsession with weird tshirts), I have come across everything from the odd and obscure to the gorgeous to the cute and the just outright cool. But my end thought is always the same, this is an amazing idea.
There are a lot of companies out there that buy designs for new tshirts and sell them to the general public. But the general public doesn’t get the chance to pick the designs they think are cool. Design By Humans lets the artist with one design or a thousand designs submit their ideas and have the general public pick which ones that they think are the best designs.
