Serious Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 there's no shadow, so this paper is floaing 2 too much text, keep it simple and to the point "join our newsletter for special deals" 3 I would go for a stamp feel, or if you have to go with this badge feel give it some texture and depth... Critical Problem on TDVidLogo.JPG 1 Hate this font! Try this one instead - http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/hvdfonts/reklame-script/ Positive Feature on http://www.teedaily.com 1 Love this -

Summary:
Shariff
Overall I like the concept, it's a great idea and wished I had thought of it first!
But - the video's like Rebecca said are a bit too cutsey for me, I don't really care for the character, as I get the intonation of a "cool cat" but, this looks like a really rushed illustration of a cat done in illustrator using a calligraphy brush, it's all a bit amateurish. On that note I think the sound effect version is going to work, but you may want to cut it down a bit...
I know that you are only looking for feedback on the vids, but the splash page needs help too... see my notes
Overall the idea like I said before is genius, the execution however is a bit naff.
Good Luck!

Hey Aaran! Thanks for taking time out and leaving such an insightful yet encouraging feedback! I love ur notes at the side, especially the one on the shadow... we completely overlook that.
If you're saying it's amateurish... guess what... you're right! that's exactly the look we're trying to for... afterall, we're a startup and we don't want to appear all formal and grand and such when we're really not that. So we want to keep things easy, fun and friendly wherever possible. That said, we do want to put out solid products in whatever form we do... be it the website or intro video or even the final product, i.e. the physical tshirts itself, which we would be putting out there in the market soon enough... which is why we want this to be a organic and inclusive process where we want anybody and everybody bo be involved and provide feedback and shape our direction of growth... that's exactly why I'm here to do this to :) So once again thanks for the comments and feedback, we'll look into them for sure. Also for the rest reading this, try and identify the pop art characters or themes from popular video games or movies (and even a song) that we've embedded into the video... subliminally ;) Instant Award to those who can spot at least one of em!!

Minor Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 too crowded, needs breathing room 2 this page has unnecessary vertical scrolling 3 I like the background treatment, however , I'm not liking the italics. Serious Problem on TDVidLogo.JPG 1 I like this but it seems really tight. put a little more spacing between the words Tee and Daily. Also, the dragon is really crowding in on the text. 2 this font choice is really conflicting with the Tee Daily font and the dragon, kind of sending mixed messages. I'm not the typography expert here, but I just know it looks a bit off. Summary:
Hello Shariff - I'm not quite sure what it is you're wanting to be reviewed on, the video or the landing page?
So, the video is cute, however a tad too long. I clicked out of it before it finished because the cuteness got to be a bit much.
The landing page is clean, to the point, but there are some issues.
unnecessary vert scrolling. tighten the page up just a little on the height to take care of that.
form validation should be handled client side to keep the user on the same page
not sure why you posted the youtube pages? anyway, I like your ideas.... please see my notes...

Hey Rebecca! Thanks for posting the first review and your pointers. Sorry for the confusion but the review's actually meant for the Video's which is provided in the link within the description area. But I appreciate your comments on the landing page too :) So that's good. Glad to hear that you like the idea. I hope u liked the kitties... oh and the logo, that's actually a lion emblem, not a dragon, lol. Thanks again for the feedback.
Well to help clear the air and avoid the same confusion for everyone else... the primary focus of this Post is to review the Explanatory Video's which I've linked to in the Description. So check that out! But of coz any additional comments or feedback with regards to overall branding and concept will be very much appreciated too :)
Minor Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 there's several mixed style here, you've got old newspaper style text with a flsh-esque character and then a realistic/pic of a newspaper and then the clipart style newsletter sign up area Serious Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 I like this texture better than the darker one :) 2 nice choice of colours here Critical Problem whoa.
just one font pleeeease, or even two if you stick with the same styleNew Idea on http://www.teedaily.com 1 try spreading it out a little, give it a newspaper/magazine layout, this is REALLY easy to do with wordpress and a little time New Idea on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYKgMHAAQVo 1 perhaps make a custom background if you plan on taking customers to the actual video page Summary:
The concept for TeeDaily seems really cool and you seem like you have a good grasp on what you want it to be, I think it just needs to be pulled together a little more. Good luck!

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the review and the extra notes on the landing page. But where I'd really like to get some feedback on is actually on the actually video itself. Unfortunately CF doesn't take snapshots of videos... so that's why the youtube page turned up. The primary picture of this review is actually a snapshot from the video itself... but I'm hoping ppl reviewing will click thru to the 2 links provided and view the video itself and review it accordingly (minus the notes ofcoz, since that isn't possible on videos. yikes.) Anyhow, appreciate if you let me know whatcha think about the video and if you do love it ok? thanks!

Ashley F commented:fail on my part. i went to watch the video and i guess i didn't come back here to write about it haha It was good, I liked that you included all the information in one video but it was a tad bit long, I do like the sfx included though. Good job! Definitlely liked how you went about presenting the information, maybe incorporate some live people video with some of the shirts when business gets up and booming?

Shariff Teedaily commented:
You bet! We'll do some real life videos about designs featured and perhaps even how TD shirts gets printed around here... but before that, we're working hard to get the site off the ground things started. Thanks again for your encouraging words and ideas :)

Critical Problem logo font... is it in keeping with your audience?
Is the font you are using in keeping with your audience? the video talks about 'cool cats' and it seems you are aiming at the 'younger' crowd = teens+20s? but our logo font it like a republican newspaper... I get the play the 'daily' like a newspaper but I think your logo should be more for your audience.-
Shariff Teedaily commented:
Interesting comment there. Yup you got it spot on there with the idea that we're trying to emulate a newspaper theme because the concept is like a daily, newspaper, hence, daily. But that said we do not want to be all too formal about things as it's supposed to be a fun place afterall, thus why we went with the fun video bit. I guess once the logo comes into play with the website proper and all, you will see that the logo will actually compliment the site which is designed like a newspaper. That said, there's only newspaper or old english fonts around, and of the lot we saw, this is the most pleasant one in my opinion. But good suggestion that. Should u have any other newspaper title fonts to suggest, feel free to post a link or such. Thanks again for the review and suggestion!
Positive Feature really good
Love the concept, really nice slick video introduction that tells me everything I need to know about the site-
Shariff Teedaily commented:
Glad to hear that! :)

Nice video, hate the font in the logo

Serious Problem on TDVidLogo.JPG 1 this type doesn't go well with each other Serious Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 3 different style, no continuity. Positive Feature on TDVidLogo.JPG 1 i like the texture 2 I like the typeface can i know what did you use? New Idea on http://www.teedaily.com 1 just a thought, how about you go for a doodle effect? Summary:
I like the overall presentation but most of the styles doesn't go well with each other. The "Tee Daily" has a serious feel while the comic cat and the typeface for the "Makes tomorrow a better day" has a fun feel.
Just my idea, If your going for a fun feel why not put colors Tee Daily and have a comic effect that looks something like this (http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2007/09/13/give-your-photos-a-retro-comic-book-effect/) Though, I'm not just sure if it will look good as a logo.
I also really like the video.
Minor Problem on TDVidLogo.JPG 1 I think you should investigate more mature fonts. This font is distracting me from enjoying the rest of the design. Minor Problem on http://www.teedaily.com 1 Add a drop shadow? Summary:
Over all, keep up the good work.
