Shop Critique: Seeking technical analysis on branding cohesion and POD presentation

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for an honest assessment from experienced sellers to help me move my shop away from that "generic POD" look and toward a more established brand feel. I’ve been hitting a plateau and I suspect my presentation might be the bottleneck.

Per sub rule #2, here is my shop link for context: GREATTRASHDESIGNS

I’m specifically looking for your perspective on:

  • Mockup Quality: Do my current mockups look too "templated"? I’m trying to achieve a vintage/bootleg streetwear aesthetic, but I'm worried the digital overlays aren't translating well to perceived value.
  • SEO vs. Readability: Are my titles too stuffed with keywords, or are they effectively capturing the horror/cult film niche?
  • Brand Cohesion: Does the "vibe" feel consistent across the banner, logo, and listings, or does it feel like a random collection of shirts?
  • Conversion Friction: From a buyer's perspective, is there anything in my shop policies or item descriptions that feels like a red flag or a "weak link"?

I’m genuinely trying to build this into a long-term brand, so please don't hold back on the constructive criticism. Thanks in advance!

Looking for Feedback on My Horror/Bootleg Streetwear Brand

Hey everyone — I’ve been building a small streetwear brand inspired by vintage bootlegs, horror films, cult cinema, metal merch, and worn-in 90s aesthetics.

I’m trying to create pieces that feel closer to collectible vintage tees than generic print-on-demand designs, and I’d really appreciate feedback from people into streetwear and brand building.

Mainly looking for opinions on:

  • Overall brand identity
  • Graphic direction
  • Product presentation
  • Mockups
  • Pricing
  • What feels strong / weak
  • What you’d improve moving forward

Store: GREATTRASHDESIGNS

Open to honest criticism — I’m trying to grow this into a real long-term brand. Thanks 🙏

I rewatched the original Spanish [REC] last night (and Quarantine 2008 right after for the comparison) and I forgot how much that final scene in the attic stressed me out.

I wanted to capture that 'night vision/trapped' vibe in a minimalist way, so I put this together. Thinking of printing it on a hoodie or a tee since I can't find any decent merch for this movie anywhere. What do you guys think of the green night-vision tint?
