Since I'm only ordering 2-3 t-shirts I'm not getting any bulk discounts, so I could do more than 1 design. But I am running out of time and I still have some end of semester things I need to do, so I might not have time to do design my own. Its also hard to know how the product will actually look - there is some virtue to simplicity with cafepress just because there is more margin for error. Last year I ordered a mug of my own design and I was disappointed in the result (but to be fair it was a bad choice of image, lots of similar dark colors and very tiny lines). I haven't done a t-shirt before on cafepress so if I did a design I would go for not many colors (maybe even black and white) and a pretty simple design.
