I seem to have deleted my previous version somehow.. sorry. It was great feedback that I regret losing. I listened to most suggestions as they were really good.



Here is the latest. It is 8 colors only, meaning 8 layers with only one color on each layer. That works right?

How well does Threadless deal with levels of opacity? Do they (or I ) have to halftone the layer if it gradiates from full color to no color?



Or would they require this to be done with process colors. I have seen some pretty subtle shading in other images in lots of colors so I know they do it well...



Any guidance is helpful.

OH! I forgot... which version of the two looks better? One is more readable... or does it even matter.

For those who did't see previously.. this is a takeoff on the Stroop effect... a psychological discovery in the 30's. Name color printed for the primary color words... without reading the word itself... and time it. Then just read them and time it again. Right brain or left brain faster?



Then the complex color shades for the truly anal minds are in the Script Font... same theory only more obscure..



Hopefully in a less dry image package that holds its own?



The text and color concepts are both critical so I used all 8 colors and even at that had to double up on the secondary colors. OK TMI...

There are many other shirts out there like this. But this is a good different.

I personally like the version where the background is desaturated and doesn't compete with the main words. Now, is the design that actual shape on the tee's or is it warped to fit the picture? If so, I would have it be more of an even circle personally. Other than that I think it's good.

And thanks for the comment too! : ]

Thanks... does anyone know how to change the 100 Pix ICON on a critique submission... or change the title? I can't seem to find anyway to edit the submission once posted..only delete it or add to it.



also please check out Gator

Leaves

nice

amethyst not amythyst right? otherwise id suggest the royal sounding names salmon, amethyst etc keep their cursive nature, the primary colors have a rigid look, secondary colors have a font where its in between fun and serious....

thanks for the spelling help! Glad you get it.. the font thing... I thought I was stretching it with two levels as it was... I had to combine colors (amethyst = purple and scarlet = red) as I ran out of colors to keep it to only 8



I doubt most people know what secondary colors are... but I could put a different font on green and purple just to add another layer of 'smarts' to it in case a color theorist interested in pshychology walks up to you in a bar. On the other hand.. I'll bet more folks might say ''' you need to be consistent with your fonts..."

I like it. I'll rock it.

I could see myself wearing this, how does it look on a white shirt? or maybe just a lighter shirt?

It really looks great on the tee!Maybe I'd shape the whole design more to look like brain or head but this looks great and do submit!And thank you for your comment, really appreciate it!

I like the more muted background colors as well. This shirt is shaping up to be better. I like there being a little distortion to the words, but it probably shouldn't be as much as what you have now. Maybe bump it back a third to normal.

great!

Definitely use the darker background. I also like the idea of using a "half-way" font for the secondary colors. Don't worry about people "getting it" for that, they won't have heard of the Stoop Effect either.

Probably last version.

There's a design kind of like this that's already been subbed- http://www.threadless.com/submission/190429/Say_The_Color



Awesome concept.

yep I know. I was working on this before that and I am going to submit it anyway I think. The other one is good too..

very cool new take on the name/colour test. though its probably final, i'll say it would be nice to see more variation within text font, as there is plenty of variation in both the colours of the text its self and the colours described by the text.

(i realized youve hadthe alternating lines of cursive/plain text going on so I only say this to reinforce the whole 'brain bomb' theme and feel of disorganization)

ive always thought of doing a design like this...its cool

Please crit mine =]

It looks like the colors are in a Metroid now.

i hate the currsive
