Hello, a nice tutorial over there. Yet, when I watched the first video, I thought that we're going to design the page so that there will be two items in it, so I decided to put color options to each t-shirt. Maybe it's a UX issue that I miss, yet, I think it's better to emphasize that these sample t-shirts should be considered as separate items to sell.

Treehouse StaffHey there sevgicanpolat!
Your solution is also a great idea and answer to the problem!
When it comes to UX Design solutions are subjective and there are many answers to each problem. A comparison would be learning a coding language is like Math. The solution is either correct or wrong. Where as UX Design is like Art, there are many solutions based on the designer/artist's viewpoint.
While Nick's answer works for a quick solution, it is on the simple side and leaves a few options to be desired. If you had more time to dedicate to your solution, I think adding additional design patterns such as shapes filled with colors (either circles or squares to show shirt color options), a box to fill in a quantity (in case the user wants to order more than one) and heart or star icons to serve as a product rating could improve the overall user experience.
These are just a few examples. But I just want to point out you should never feel bad or like you have the "wrong" solution if your work looks different from another designer's. That is the entire point of design, there are many paths to get to the same destination. :-) And that's one of the reasons to work with teams so we can share our different outlooks, views, and answers to collaborate in producing the best design possible.
I hope this makes sense and provides more insight. Feel free to let me know if that didn't answer your question fully and we can discuss this topic further!
