Ya that would happen on the real hoodie, just threw this on custom ink to get a general idea

Welp I looked up the saying and there's already a ton of results that look far better than this. I'd say try to make something more unique but if this is what you want to go with it could still work as there are lots of ski sayings that have been sold over and over again (Drop Cliffs Not Bombs etc.) I'd say get more creative in the design process. Try to use the adjacent possible by combining tropical and skiing.

That picture doesn't look like paradise it looks like a cold, grey alpine day with subpar snowpack.

It looks like something a fake ass Instagram account would sell as “limited edition” merch. That’s a no from me dog.

If you have thick skin, NS is probably one of the few places where you will get a brutally honest opinion. Most people would just give you vague cliche bullshit to avoid hurting your feelings.


OP be honest with yourself. Would you wear this hoodie? Could you see your favorite pro wearing this hoodie? Honestly this looks like it would be sold by one of those knock off ski repost pages. I would wear the graphic design is my passion hoodie before I wore this.

Ok you're correct that most people on newschoolers, including myself, might not know a lot about graphic design or designing clothes. But OP isn't asking for expert advice, he's trying to see if people on this site are interested in his stuff, so their responses are very relevant.

There are so many people starting clothing brands these days, and that's fine, but you really have to be inspired and do something that makes you stand out. This hoodie looks really similar to the type of stuff you would buy from one of those garbage explore page instagram accounts like @getlostskiing

If all it was was the siloette of the skiers on a white shirt only with no words then yes

If your going with an ironic phrase then at least play it up in your design to tell a story. Like, have the skier there and maybe a sun umbrella with Bigfoot watching while ripping a bong or something?
