Hey guys! This is my new WIP. The idea is quite simple: The Earth's shopping in the supermarket's cosmetics section. She is buying the latest release of the skincare market: Genocide Skincare. This product has 3 different formulas all based in natural disasters: Earthquake, flood/tsunami and heat/cold waves. The Earth, tired of the mistreatment of men, decides to get rid of humans. Meanwhile, the Moon plays with his rocket Apollo 11 and the austronaut in the cart :)



Questions:



1. Which layout is best?



2. I need to put some groceries in the cart. Any suggestions?



3. Do you like it?

Questions:



1. Which layout is best? A or B?



2. I need to put some groceries in the cart. Any suggestions?



3. Do you like it?

I like option B I think.

B. The background won't compete as much for attention with the Earth.

Stuff in the cart:

Trees

River

Mountain

Lake

Grassland

Volcano



Comment on mine?

I like option B the best, its less busy. I would even say have the Earth just shopping at a small stand inside the store. Or maybe like at Costco how they give out free samples? Maybe he could be getting a free sample?

how does it relate to genocide?

I definitely think B is better, it works better on the tee, whereas A seems too rigid

B is better I guess.

B!!!!! in the cart you can put what Francesa said :) i agree with her. Maybe put those items inside a packaging, it's a lot of work, i know! eheh or those grass carpets ...

B, I think as far as groceries it should have endangered species, petroleum, bad, destructive stuff in general



I do like it



( the one thing i prefer from layout A is the fact that it's closer and easier to read)

Ivantobealone: Yeah, it is. I think I need a new layout to make things clear... I like toopersent advice, I just need to find a photo of Costco to help me.



Thanks Francesa, it's an awesome idea!



Ryder: I know what you mean, that's why it's a Working title. I think the skincare product needs a name like this, I don't know if Genocide it's the right word, feel free to help me! :)



Thanks a lot everybody, seems that I have lots of work on this idea...

I got one idea, I think will fits PERFECTLY. And it'll be waaaay more funny :)



Stay tune!

New layout!



I need to add the groceries in the cart and the skin care product in the floor stand. Still not sure about the colors...



What do you guys think?



*Please, my english is not that good so can you check if everything is okay in the illo?*

LOVE the moon as the kid in the shopping cart. This is so great!!

Great! I just think you could find a better background color...i mean the red goes ok, its just not my taste at all

hahaha thanks Wes! I think it needs more contrast, I will try new colors. Any suggestions?

It should say "deforestation" not "deflorestation" and I'd not have "the" there either, so just "reduce deforestation."



I'd probably say "carbon dioxide emissions" snd also not have "the" in "slow down the warming" but I'd substitute another word like "slow down global warming."

Thanks A LOT squatterjohn! You guys are so helpful :)

yeah genocide is not the right word.... i don't know what you think the definition is but it's not about killing all humans...in fact it's a killing of only a certain group of people. and it has to be systematic as well. i can't think of any other word to use though, that's a tough one....



those colors are kick ass though...but i don't like the red background.

I was thinking, can I use those organics tee colors from the Loves Green challenge? Like Pomenagrate , Galaxy, Dijon... is that allowed for regular subs?

annihilation, elimination, eradication, or even plain old destroy...all seem to fit better than genocide.

Ryder:



I think Extinction is the right word. But searching on the internet, I read that genocide is a synonym for extinction. That's why I keep insisting on using that word ... :P

Extinction: is the death of every member of a species or group of taxa.



Better?

BINGO! =)

Wonderful idea, those humans are nothing but a nuisance anyway. I think I'd like for there to be one bottle left because it seems to me that the Earth is reaching for nothing. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting though.



Give me a look if you don't mind. :D

JuniorCain: I will put some products on the stand! It's not ready yet :)



Ryder: Yay!

The moon baby is brilliant.

Great concept and the illo is coming along nicely.



Maybe just a general product name similar to the ones they use for repellants and insecticides; MAN-OFF, HUMANICIDE, or MANICIDE. I don't get that that it's a skin care product but if you go that way, maybe HUMA-BLOCK or HUMA-SCREEN. How about TER-MAN-ATOR, TER-MAN 8 or MAN-BE-GONE or :P



As far as claims, maybe more absolute promises; END GLOBAL WARMING and STOP DEFORESTATION. REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS is good because fauna needs carbon to live.



I think FLOOD would be better than TSUNAMI it's more global in nature and a direct result of global warming.



Anyway, great idea! Cheers!

I think I found the perfect color palette. All the suggestions have helped me a lot, thanks!



quiste: I don't think someone would sneeze an insecticide in himself to get rid of a pest:) But I understand your point of view, but the idea is that with this product the Earth will be more beautiful! That's why I choosed a skin care product. Your suggestions were excellent! Less text, more direct... just perfect! Thank you so much!



I think I'll make an option using those organic shirt colors. I don't know if it's allowed maybe I should put as an option:)



Is there something that is not ok in the design?

I love this, so well drawn and well choosen colours. I it a very clever idea too!

I will vote this for in the running!



Great work!



if you could check mine when you have a chance i would really appreciate your input.

Great design :)



Please comment on my Poor Teddy?

Rodrigo very nice, just noticed a little thing, the perspective on the stand is falling a little on the right can you see it. try to follow the lines you put on the floor, will give it a much better perspective. Love the colours nice

Haha! This is looking great. I love the clouds around the globe and the colors are terrific. I think the organic colors are available since they announced them in the green comp. Not sure though, best to start a blog and/or write threadless.



The only thing wrong that I can see is the shadowing. The display case shadow doesn't quite fit with the other shadows. Either the top of the globe and shopping cart should be included in their shadows or the display case should have a shorter shadow, no? I hope that made sense. Also, I just noticed that the moon looks like it has a face on the back of his head. Could be just me =]

HMC: Thanks! I will fix the perspective :)



quister: I was trying to make the shadows really simple, not realistic - just like my "caught Miming" sub - but I think I failed hahaha... and now I can see the "moon face" hahaha... I will fix that too :)

You didn't fail, I like the simple shadows, just shorten the one you have for the display case, I think? Just looked at "caught miming", it's way funny and the design, illustration is terrific. Cheers!

Now I get what you said, quister. I will make the shadow display shorter. I really want to make the shadowing simple so I can keep the design clean...

amazing

Ready to sub?



I just need a title... Extinction is good but I think I need another title.... Any suggestion?

This turned out really well! :) I think it could probably even be a little larger on the shirt, especially if you don't want anybody to miss those awesome and important details on there.



:) As for a title...

A Day at the Market (of Destruction)

Doom-cisions, Doom-cisions

Buy One - Get No Humans

Apocalypse in a Bottle

I know it's kind of late in the process, but hurricanes and cyclones do way more damage on a wide scale than tornadoes do.

How about:

Humanix

Homo-Rid

Con-Sapiens

TerMan-ate

LOL@Doom-cisions



Hey Francesa! You always have nice advices. I think Cyclonic Storms or Cyclones are the best option, check this out:



Cyclonic Storms: Cyclone, tropical cyclone, hurricane, and typhoon are different names for the same phenomenon a cyclonic storm system that forms over the oceans.



:)

Wow! Looks great! Maybe a bit bigger on the tee?

As far as the name, maybe a play on "Earth Day"; EARTH PREY, EARTH SLAY, EARTH SPRAY?



GLOBAL ANNIHILATION, WORLD WAR III, MORTAL COMBAT, DEVA-STATION, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTION, ENVIRONMENTAL REJECTION

Now with presentantion :) You can see the details by rolling the mouse over the design. There are 4 details spots: In the moon; the cart; the stand top and in the products.



I'm not sure about the title yet. I want something that relates with the Earth finding a chance to be beautiful again...



I change the moon color and changed Tornadoes to Cyclones Storms!



Ready?

you can maybe adapt tag lines from commercials such as easy breezy beautiful... cover girl or because im worth it from clairol



moon looks great in white

go! :)

sorry. l'oreal not clairol and i think its ready to sub

weird stuff. i like it. my initial impression is that you should simplify it, because there's almost too much to take in. i think you should try to get the idea across in a more graphically efficient way. might be fun to make it look even more like an advertisement, i love the the earth is prancing like a 50s housewife. some more of that modernist advertisment imagery might be good.

mine= http://www.threadless.com/critique/42133/The_Impossible_Grind

Good idea Ivan! I don't live in USA, I do not know tag lines from commercials... but "Because I'm worth" it is pretty cool! Is there a problem in use it?

Hmm i don't think there would be. But i certainly am no expert

Loving how this is turning out. :)



Cleaning Her Pores

Mother Earth's Deep Cleanse



This one's tough.

thanks sumocloud, but it's not a advertisement. It's just the Earth finding a way to be beutiful again in a supermarket stand :)

bring the shelf down to the height of the earth and the trolley and put a funny slogan above everything. lose some of the writing on the shelf. just some ideas.

wow! this isn't what i was expecting from the thumbnail pic! sad, but cool! the length of the shadow on the display box should be a bit longer, dontchathink? ha ha. looks like floods are almost sold out. nice

Subbed! Thanks everyone! Thanks a lot!

Good luck!!

Great idea, illo, and presentation! Post when it's up, I'd be happy to $5 it.

haha.. funny

:) Thanks!

Shame i missed this in voting. It's a lovely design!
