Le Rage Shirts Tee Brand Review.

Le Rage Shirts ScreenShot

Le Rage Shirts Brand is one of the newer companies on the interwebs. Their designs are mostly pop culture parodies and mashups but you can find memes, gym, music, and other topics as well.

As for the Print Quality, the prints are vibrant. Being traditionally screen printed the ink has good coverage and thickness. If the tees are washed inside out in cold water with mild detergent (No Bleach or Harsh Chemicals) and dried on low or allowed to air dry the designs should last years.

The shirt fabric is roomy and soft. It contours to the body more so than the box style cuts that most brands use.

And for the sizing, Adult sizes Small to 2XL are available in both Mens/Unisex and Ladies Tees.

Le Rage Shirts Interview:

How did Le Rage Shirts get started and what is your brand all about?

We started this company because as Geeks and Trend Lovers our favorite graphic Tees just weren't lasting as long as we wanted to love them for. We found a way to do something about it so that way our favorite shirts never have to go out of style. By staying in the trends and setting our own all whilst never compromising on quality; we knew there would be people out there just like us looking for the same things, and we were right.

What are the Le rage Shirts ideals?

That one is easy. Quality. Our products must meet each and every one of our standards or we simply won't sell them or send them out. That means nothing that chips, fades, stretches, rips, cracks, peels, or shrinks. We want your shirt to feel and look the same way a year from now as when you first received it. Lastly, we look for designs that will make you smile, nostalgic, laugh, show off your total geek obsession, or simply something that will be memorable years from now.

Who designs the tees?

We have a small, tight knit group of designers (all nerds I might add). A few of them are local, and the rests are artists from around the world we really admired and wanted to work with and support.

What inspires the tees?

Our Artists source and feed their creativity from the world around them. Typically I'd say a lot of it stems from pop culture, whether that means its music, movies, books, TV shows or what have you; we just want our designs to be easily recognizable, understood, and enjoyed.

How would you classify the tees/designs?

The classification of our products usually depends on the subject or category of the design; and we supply a wide range: Zombie Shirts, Super Hero Tees, Gym Tanks, Video Game, Galactic, Memes, Holiday, Movies... and Etc. Regardless of topic, we classify all our products as higher end versions because our materials are top of the line and everything is done by hand. That is something our competitors can't say.

What Shipping options do you offer?

We supply our customers with free world wide shipping as well as expedited options.

Any of information you'd like me to include and disclose about your brand.

It is important to us that our customers know how much love and care goes into each order. Everything is hand made, inspected, and packaged so that we avoid as many errors as humanly possible, We really do our best to strive for perfection where ever possible.

Life Is Beautiful Shirt Design by Eliaschatzoudis

Life Is Beautiful Shirt Design Review.

The Life Is Beautiful shirt design is for the zombie enthusiasts, Pin Up Girls fans. Generally, anyone into the creepy and the macabre should appreciate this ironic design. Because it is a little different than the typical gore design. Hence this review.

Conceptually, this is a parody based on couples posing together. Except that this just isn't your typical run of the mill couple. Especially since the undead are usually not photogenic.

The first thing that anyone with eyes will notice is the girl with her cute face and busty chest. She is beautiful, but is she alive? The second thing, is that the guy illustrated here is the complete opposite as he is definitely not beautiful at all and is certainly not alive. The third thing you will see is that they are happy, it seems like they would be miserable. But why? Lastly, after taking all of that in, you will start to wonder "Is she really that hot or does she just look that good in comparison to him?".

As for the artwork, it is some of the best out there on POD sites. The details are insane with realistic textures such as the characters' skin tones which are either gross and rotting or simply vampire pale. Also, the colors compliment each other well with the slight Greens and Reds.

In conclusion, this Life Is Beautiful shirt will make a nice gift for the fans of The Walking Dead, Zombie Apocalypse, and anything else that is zombie related.

Childhood Memories As Tee Design Inspiration. The Perfect Chair Fort Tee Design by Jess Fink.

Childhood Memories As Tee Design Inspiration.

Childhood Memories as tee design inspiration is a no brainer. Think back to when you were a kid. Do you remember the moments that brought you joy? Birthday parties, Christmas, or perhaps camping trips with your family and friends? Or how about your favorite foods and past times as a child? Did you have a favorite superhero or imaginary friend? Basically unlimited material. Something as simple as childhood games like peekaboo, hide and seek, to even building a fort can be translated into a t shirt design that people will actually like and buy. Like The Perfect Chair Fort Tee Design by Jess Fink (shown below) for example.

Childhood Memories As Tee Design Inspiration. The Perfect Chair Fort Tee Design by Jess Fink.

All of these things can be used for graphic design inspiration… even your childhood fears. That’s right even fears. From the boogeyman to some other made up creature can be turned into some cool and twisted designs. Designs don’t always have to be up beat, funny, or cute. There is an entire market for horror and gore. Just look at the monster craze that is running rampant in our streets. Everywhere you turn you will see people ( even kids ) wearing designs relating to zombies and vampires.>And if those can be popular, just imagine what your own warped thoughts can become if you share them with the world.

If fear is not your thing, then you could focus on the goofy moments. Such as the awkwardness one feels while growing up. Including the common misconceptions and questions that come to mind when entering puberty. In other words, designs that we can all relate to in one way or another.

Childhood Memories As Tee Design Inspiration.

We all had good and bad childhood memories, so use them as inspiration. We all went through similar experiences. It is those moments that will make for great design. Just as they continue to be great for movies, songs, and television shows.

Tacos Tee Design by ZombieMedia.

Tacos Tee Design Review.

The Tacos tee design (with hair version) is for the Deadpool fans and perhaps fans of Ancient Aliens or at least the associated meme (Shown below). A version without hair is also available.

Giorgio Tsoukalos

The concept for the hilarious Tacos tee design is that the hard to kill Wade Wilson aka Deadpool mimics Giorgio Tsoukalos (from Ancient Aliens) and his painful to look at hair. It is based off a scene from the Ancient Aliens television series that has became a dominating meme. It is a Deadpool taco meme with him mocking another meme. Layered concept. It is probably hinting that Wade is from another planet because he is so off the wall insane.

As for the artwork, it is clean and skillfully done. Great coloring and shading. The likenesses of Deadpool and Giorgio are captured brilliantly. The right mix of ...I dunno wtf the word that I am looking for is..."essences" maybe. The viewer knows the expression on the face even though it is behind a mask with or without the hair and could probably do so without ever seeing Girgio. That takes talent and skill.

This is an awesome design to be worn at any setting or event such as the almighty Comic-Con.

Trending Tee Design Themes 2016.

Trending Tee Design Themes 2016

So you are wanting to know what tee design themes are trending so you can profit off that data? To determine this we need to look at two important factors. What was popular at the end of 2015? As it is what will set the tone for 2016. And what is coming up in 2016? As that will be what people will be into and searching for.

What was popular that continues over onto 2016 are Political tees (2016 being an election year), science themes, Deadpool, One Punch Man, Rick and Morty and as always Space and Aquatic themes. Game of Thrones designs while a favorite of consumers will be on a decline due to DMCA take down notices. As are Star Wars and Star Trek related themes. But that doesn't stop the craving for Dragons in general.

What is coming up in 2016 will play a big role as to what designs will be demanded and supplied as well. The following movies will have heavy influence such as: Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Captain America, X-men (Apocalypse), Zoolander 2, TMNT, Ghostbusters and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as they are the main pop culture picks that are highly anticipated. Independence Day 2 might also make its way over to indie based designs.

Also trending are designs that mash up different eras, genres or both. While mash ups are always popular with designers, not every mash up concept is a good one. Skulls and Zombies are always trending but the marketplace is flooded with them. Anything to do with aliens is also on the rise. The niche of Snarky and Sarcastic tees looks like it will be a favorite with the young adult crowd. Non pop culture tees are starting to make a comeback such as the artistic and abstract tees with no particular theme.

Hopefully this gives you some idea of what the trending tee design themes will be this year.

iFoodie Tee Design by Papyroo.

iFoodie Tee Design Review.

The iFoodie tee design is for the iZOMBIE fans, foodies and people who like cliches.

The concept is based the comic book and television show iZOMBIE,a cute almost kawaii art style and the old phrase "I am what I eat". Which is not only to say she is very smart since she is eating a brain, but she takes on the traits of the people's whose brains she ingests. The only thing missing from this is hot sauce.

As for the artwork, it looks like some Japanese cartoons, those with big eyes and tiny heads. The colors are good and the shading is non-existent except for some tonal differences in the font. It is definitely different than any other iZombie themed designs as most stay true to the comic or opening credit style. But there is something to be said about trying the cute angle on something Zombie related. And since it is a show with a strong female lead, it is only natural to make a design appeals to the female crowd as well. Not that women don't like horror with all the gore but sometimes it is nice to mash things up.

This is a great pop culture shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Con or coffee shops.

May All Your Deaths Be Solved Tee Design by Outlawalien.

Deaths Be Solved Tee Design Review.

The Deaths Be Solved tee design is for the iZOMBIE fans.
The concept is taken from the comic book of the same name and the art style is seen in the opening credits of the loosely adapted show iZOMBIE. It sums up what the show is about nicely. As she (a zombie) solves crimes (deaths) after having visions of the people (victims) whose brains that she eats from the Medical Examiner's Office (where she works).
As for the artwork, it looks just like the art used in the TV Series that ties in the show to the aforementioned comic book. It is colored and shaded well.
This is a great pop culture shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Con or coffee shops.

Pop Vamp Tee Design by Berry Method

Pop Vamp All Over Print Tee Design Review.

The Pop Vamp All Over Print tee design is for the Marilyn Monroefans and people with a vampire fetish.

The concept is to simply do a pop art variation of a pop culture icon turning Marilyn Monroe a vampire. This isn't exactly original as all kinds of artists have transformed her image into sexy various forms of monsters over the years like zombies, mummies, vampyres and werewolves. It is a no brainer that combining Marilyn Monroe with anything would sell. Her immortalized likeness will always be trendy.

As for the artwork, it is good for what it is. The artist didn't take the original photograph of Marilyn themselves. But the additions and edits do make for an interesting image. The use of Red as blood splatters and in the hair adds contrast to an otherwise Black and White image of a beautiful woman. The result is a blown up image that takes up the entire tee and it looks damn good.

This is a great shirt for wearing in October with Halloween and Day of The Dead being around the corner.

Mr White Walker Tee Design by Spicy Monocle

Mr White Walker Tee Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Mr White Walker tee design is for the Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad fans because.

This concept is a play on Walter's surname being White and the cold ass zombie things North of the Wall from Game of Thrones called White Walkers. That and Mr. White's heart is cold as ice. Both are villains. They both know a thing or 2 about "ice". So it works on a few levels.

White Walker

As for the artwork, it blends Walter's face with that of a White Walker. It looks like the Threshold function of Photoshop was used in the creation of this design. There is no color to this tee except for the solid Blue used for the irises. It would had looked better if some rods and cones were added to the eyes using some other Blue hues. There is shading but there is no gradients hence my "threshold" comment. The graphic is simple and straightforward. Making it a clean design that is ideal for a tee. Not a lot of detail but a lot is not needed.

Like other Breaking Bad or even Game of Thrones tees. I wouldn't recommend it as a school garment as it's not appropriate for kids.

Wear this tee to a Comic-Con or wherever you'd like to stir up a conversation about either show.

I Want To Believe Tee Design by Cubik and ZombieMedia

I Want To Believe Tee Design Review.

The I Want To Believe tee design is for Sci-Fi fans that enjoy Back To The Future and the X-Files.

The concept of this design is based on the Back To The Future Hoverboard and the poster "I Want To Believe" that could be seen in "Spooky" Fox Mulder's F.B.I. office. It is also the title of the second feature film installment of the X-Files franchise. An actual hoverboard has been the dream of almost everyone that has seen the Back To The Future II and III movies not just the fanboys. WE ALL WANT TO BELIEVE. So much so that two variations of the hoverboard have been made this year to match the deadline in the movie... the Hendo Board and the Lexus Hoverboard. Though neither are as tweaked out or perfected as the one in the movies.

As for the artwork, there is a good full colored illustration of the fictional Mattel Hoverboard in the foreground with a silhouetted Hill Valley Courthouse in the background. Awesome coloring and contrast. Personally I think it is a little weird to see just a hoverboard without a pair of legs attached to it, but that is just me.

The 80's children would probably love this tee as the Back to The Future movies are iconic.

This is a good BTTF tribute tee as this is the year (2015) that the Marty McFly character traveled to in the in the Back To The Future II movie.
