Blind polls
Hello Stephen, Pekka, and Basco,
I love of the idea of T-shirts designs coming from our ranks and see this as another great opportunity to support our friends but I have some concerns.
To keep this from becoming a popularity contest I wonder if it is possible to set it up so only Stephen and Cliff know who actually submitted the designs for consideration? It is difficult to rate the creative efforts of our friends without concern for their feelings. I, for one, would not want to do anything to cause upset for Pekka or Basco or others who might contribute (and I hope others do) if I did not like their design(s). And I think it would be easier for the contributors to accept negative feedback as valuable in helping them know what will sell if it is not perceived as personal.
I wonder if it is possible to set up the polling program to accommodate different designs so that we can just click on our favoriteor maybe a rating system for each one. I think this can be fun for all of us so here are my suggestions for the category titles to rank the T-shirt designs with.
Best: I Can't Live Without It
Good: I Would Wear It On A Date With Someone Special
Fair: I Would Only Wear It Under Something Else
Poor: It Would Look Good On My Dog and finally
Worst: I Wouldn't Put It On Roadkill.
