Answer 1

for the time being, forget hot topic and torid. try shirt designs on cafepress.com. I'm a shirt designer too, i have a page with alot of my work here http://rainingcrow.deviantart.com/galler... and i'm starting up my own cafepress store soon.

the reason this is my advice is because sites like cafe press are seen by millions of people and some stores will occasionally approach the artists from there to then buy there work. its a decent way to get noticed

Answer 2

i hate to break your dreams, but there is no way you can work as a hot topic designer. at least, not right now in your life.

if designing is something you are passionate about, take as many art classes as you can, and study graphic design in college. if you stay in the area of art doors will open for you.

in the mean time if you are serious about design for clothes, look into screen printing. it's a great way to customize shirts and clothing. and it's just losts of fun. speed ball has a nice starter kit for about $100 but the inks are acrylic so you might want to buy some textile ones.

if you keep working at it you may someday be able to design for HT. good luck! and keep working!

Answer 3

try violence in the families, drugs effects,  the oil & its pollution, kid slaves.

Answer 4

I think that's an excellent idea! Now I really don't know about how to go about it but I do know you should look into your rights and how to protect your work.  

Answer 5

Try www.threadless.com first. It's a community based t-shirt company that you can submit designs to and people vote to have them printes, and I think you can get money.
