Dear Disign thread visitors.

The designers on the Disboard are a busy bunch of people.

We love designing and making other people happy, spreading pixie dust and making trips special by adding a little bit of magic to your vacations.
What you might not know is that there is a lot of time and effort put into the designs.
If we do not have something you request, we go out of our way to come up with something special for you and a lot of times we even create new things because they were requested.
We really do not want to let anyone down and we work hard, sometimes even too hard, to please as many people as we can.
It is a lot of work and we do not get paid so we do this from the kindness of our hearts, without expecting anything in return.
We spend hours upon hours a day and never really get caught up with the requests because once we have them finished, we will have more and new requests waiting for us.
However…..

We have noticed recently that there are a few people who decide to request the same design from more than one designer.
On top of the boards, on the design tips thread, this message is posted:

Please do not request the same design from multiple designers – they have a lot of requests and do not want to be duplicating each other’s work – in addition – it can take a while to design a custom shirt and asking two people to design a shirt and only choosing one is wasting the other designers time.

Please consider this as you continue to ask the fellow designers to design this same design over and over again.
If you want to request a specially made design , please request from one designer and one designer only. You are free to request more designs and even from more designers, but please DO NOT ask more designers to make you something that is pretty much simular, and choose the one you like best!
By asking more designers to create the same thing for you, you are taking time away which could be spent on filling requests and making more people happy!!
Also, you can sometimes choose only one design to wear which will mean, the other designer's work will not be used, which really is a shame since so much time and effort has gone into the design.

most of this is not directed at the majority of dis'ers but there have been a few who have abused the issue of asking multiple designers for the same design.

We as designers do not ask much in return, just a little respect!
If you have requested items and they are posted, Please let the designer know you have picked your designs up by posting a simple message or a thank you.
We do not think this is a lot to ask for, we hope you understand why we post this message
Please continue to request from the designers since we really do love designing!! We know we can not please everyone but we try our best.

Last but not least we want to tell you we really appreciate all of you who thank us sincerely, who take the time to post pictures of their smiling family or children, who post kind words and let us know we are appreciated, you all make us love what we do most even more and inspire us to create even more beautiful designs for you.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!


I may be the one posting this message but I will sign it on behalf of the designers who agree to have this message posted!

Thanks again for Everything you all DO!!!

Well said, Pat. I hope people read and abide by your requests. They are simple enough, I would say!
 
I do not have an ongoing thread and fill the majority of my requests by PM only, and there is nothing more disheartening than periodically browsing through the other designers' threads to find the exact same requests posted on these threads because someone has asked us both (or more, who knows?) to do the exact same design.

Realistically, there is no way to police this problem as many people PM requests and others just don't have the time to browse others' threads too often (or at all!!).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not duplicate requests!!

Another issue I think should be added, IMO, is the requesting of blank copies of a design. I feel this is inappropriate as sometimes the designer has spent hours piecing together the layout and design of a design. I'm sure any one of the designers would be happy to customize a design.

I may be the only one who feels this way:confused3 and others can give away their blanks if they wish, but I feel this is also a problem.
 


:thumbsup2 hi all,

thank you so much for all of your hard and creative work! it is all beautiful, and so much fun!!! i have enjoyed surprising people with cool new tshirts that you all have designed, and I always give you guys the credit - people just cant believe that you are all so generous!!!! Thank you so very much, Wendy
 
I am so glad I found this forum last week. I think all of you designers are awesome and I have spent wayyyy too much time trying to look at everything.:rotfl2: The fact that you volunteer your time just to make a little extra pixie dust for the vacations of total strangers is amazing. I promise I will use any design that I specifically ask for. Now if I can just keep myself from asking for everything!:lmao:
 


I am guilty of requesting some blank designs, especially some that say MNSSHP and have a year on them. I wanted to have some shirts for other nights when we were there, not just the MNSSHP night. My requests were never made with the intent of selling the deisgn or shirts made from the design or taking advantage of the generosity of the designer. I am really sorry if this was a no-no.

I might also like to mention that I have sometimes been aghast at the amount of designs that some people request, I have seen some people make requests for up to 15 or more names :eek: I just don't think I would have the nerve to do that. In my opinion, it is very inconsiderate.

Why would people request a design from more than one designer? Just to see who comes up with what?

I, myself, am very jealous of the talent that you designers have and would not ever want to do anything to cause you to stop sharing your creativity with the rest of us.
 
All of you disigners are AWESOME!! I know that I and I'm sure many others appreciate VERY MUCH what you all do for us! I have loved each and every design I have ever asked for and seriously don't know what I would do without all of you TALENTED ladies!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!
 
I may be one of the guilty parties and am terribly sorry if so. I recently requested a variation on a design that someone had done for me. A freind wanted something similiar but not the exact one I had. I could not remember which designer had made the first design so I just requested another from one of the designers hoping it wouldn't be a problem. You guys are all great and I have been collecting from this forum since 2005. I have so many picture's that when I bring up the folder and running through the preview everyone runs as if they are being made to sit through vacation photo's. It may be because as each picture come's up I have to give a commentary, Why I had it made, when I plan to wear it and or what trip this was from, this is what I had done for so and so, Oh and this was for MOM's BD. :rotfl: :rotfl: ................. Thanks for your hard work, Susan
 
You guys are awesome! I have just started my own disigns for our upcoming trip. I have filled a couple requests, and it is time consuming! It's too bad that people take advantage of the blank disigns because I am one of those people who don't want my kids names on stuff so I personally wouldn't want something personalized. Please know you are appreciated! You have inspired me to design! Thank you!

Just to clarify, it's not the fact that someone requests designs without a name. I totally understand not wanting a name on a shirt.

I guess it depends on the design, but let's say a request for a blank invitation. The designer could easily add the words for you and know that the design is only being used for the implied purpose. Some people have been burned on these pages giving out blank designs that go out without any indication of who put the actual design together. I know this issue goes way back before my time and has even pushed away some really great designers!!!
 
That stinks!!!! It's hard because it's easy to be fooled into thinking everyone's really honest and nice because we don't really know eachother! I'm too trusting!:rotfl2: Quick question: Does flattening the image before sending it out help at all? Please know that you are appreciated!
 
I'm just sending out another "Thank You" to all of you Disigners!! Your hard work is definitely appreciated in our house! We leave in 3 days and I can't wait to show off all of your hard work. I posted pictures of my finished shirts a couple weeks ago...see if I can find the link. Since then I've made a couple more but haven't taken pictures of them yet...hope to soon. Take a look!:yay:

I have appreciated everyone's help in designing shirts for when Steffy and I went in 2005 and then went I went in 2006. Now she and I are going this October and I cannot wait to wear a few shirts again because they are so timeless. We will also be wearing a new design and I cannot wait to post pictures. I have even had a shirt designed for my Pal Mickey. I just wish I had an ounce of talent all of our designers have.

From the bottom of my heart thank you all so much.:goodvibes :goodvibes
 
:guilty: I have been guilty of requesting from more than one DISigner, on one occasion that I can remember. I hope that is all. I do appreciate the work you all do, because I've tried myself and I don't have the patience for it. Please forgive me and keep up the good work! :sad1:

Hiya

Don't worry about it !
you are allowed to ask different designers for their designs!
the only thing is that some designers have been asked to create the same thing, that is the problem.
like say: someone asked me to make a belle in a blue outfit with some wording...
Amy gets asked to make a same design, blue belle with wording..
and yet another designer, say Maria or Kari or Beth.. gets asked the same thing, so we are all taking time out for the same design, and only 1 can be used...

So feel free to ask as many designs as you like, just not the same designs :thumbsup2
Hope this makes sense :rolleyes:

Here is a hug for you :grouphug:
 
Hi everyone,

Please forgive me but I am new to the Dis sign board. Do you all design things to be put on Tees? Or do you help others to do it? I am very interested in doing shirts for our group of 9. I don't know where to start. Can anyone help me with this. I have some ideas for the shirts. PLEASE HELP! THANKS!!

Laurie

Look around on the different threads or in the DISIGN Gallery sticky at the top of this board. When you see something you like just post or PM the designer to customize it for you. Hope this helps. Welcome to the board!:goodvibes
 
Thank you for your special work. I will be anxious to get my designs:)
Thank you too, for using the talent God gave you
God Bless
