Generally speaking, everyone has these feelings or emotions they wanted to express but don’t know how. Feelings they wanted to show but afraid to do so. Others are more on telling rather than showing. Have you ever experienced misinterpreting other’s action because they don’t tell you what it really means? Or perhaps, it’s the other way around. They kept telling you what they feel but they never really showed it. What am I really trying to say? Actions and words must go together. If you’re really in love, speak it and show it so that your special one will not just assume or interpret your actions or wonder if your words are indeed true. Customized shirt is shooting two birds with one stone. It is a shirt made by you, not the t-shirt itself but the essence of it –the design you created, the words, and the emotions you unload. It’s like putting a part of you in that shirt and giving it to that special one. Giving is one expression of love. The effort you exerted in giving that shirt is showing your love while the words and design imprinted is saying your love. Like for example, give a black shirt with a picture of a dry rose on it. Then at the back of the shirt, with a words “Me, without you”. Isn’t it sweet? The black shirt and the dry rose symbolize your need for him/her, and the words at the back, your love. Indirectly speaking, it means, he/she makes your life colorful. Perhaps, in some way, you just want to show who you are, wear a shirt that will speak about you, statement shirt or your own design.
I think one thing about shirts is that it doesn’t just carry printed designs but it also communicates, it gives us a voice without really saying anything. A voice to express what we feel and a voice for something we believe in. Also, with our own or even other designs in it, we doesn’t only rejoice for our individuality but also for our unity. Like the ones that are used for rallies, for certain awareness activity or for a certain group that has a mission. It is a way of being heard and standing out in the crowd. It let us be united in our own individuality and lets us stand for our values. It lets us shout for equality, raise awareness against diseases, revolt against a dictator, educate for our planet and many more. In this way we do not only become one of those strangers standing in the crowd but someone who stands for something. Someone who has the courage to be unique and say what he/she thinks. With these shirts, you print a memory and that memory becomes extra special and becomes more unforgettable.
These are samples of shirts that shout, empower and unifies.
