AFTER - MATH ....... does it work? :D this is just the sketch, just to know if it's workiong or not :)

none? O_o

HA! yeah i say work on it. First comment! wooo...

clever concept.

it definetly works, its funny and really smart. but ya, add color maybe a wreck house or car and just see where it goes

oh yes, i'll work on it. it's just the sketch :) Any item/symbol/other i have to add?

thanx for the comments!

I actually like it, it looks poetic.. but I dont' know what to suggest, begin adding some colouring.



Any feedback on mines?

hidden in the dark

check out mine

sweet, love it! great concept, can't wait to see it all inked up and coloured in!

i liked the idea of a house or seomthing, like maybe a roof top sticking out the the water, but then i wonder if that would take away from the numbers concept?? hhmmmmmm

anyway, great design, i'll be looking forward to the next version



any comments on my robot please?

It works. And it is very Threadless, but it does have something poetic to it, like Alicia said.

great idea. would like to see some colour

really good

yes!!! i can totally see this coming out really well. keep us posted :)

great concept , id luv to see how it ends up...if you can change sum of the symbols perspeective... then i guess it wud add much to the current design... leave a score on mine

ok, it took a while to do this step. I was thinking of making it on a light-blue tee... so it will be the water. THIS IS OF COURSE AN INCOMPLETE VERSION, just to get more suggestions from you guys, about the colors and such stuff :) thanx

doh. little bug, i posted the 2nd version twice :|

hm. id prefer less colours to make it seem more devastated..

good point :) and add some scratches on the symbols maybe :)

other suggestions? :) ppl? everybody on holiday? :D

Maybe, it you wanted to make it a bit more devastating you could have some of the symbols broken into pieces as well?



I really like this design though and think it's ready to submit.

Actually, I think if you gave the numbers a wood grain, or color it would seem more like a shipwreck.



I LOVE this idea by the way, good job!

this is a standard placement, i think it's working in its simplicity. I'm working on it, trying to put some scratch and cracks to make it more devastated :)

you think i should put the text aftermath using those symbols or is it enough clear? dont wanna load it too much. thanx

I like it as-is. I think it is ready for submission, unless you think you need to clarify some point still.

better then the last version, I like it! The blue shadows are maybe a bit hard, maybe try a softer blue.



critique me here

I think you could put "The Aftermath" somewhere upon the tee... maybe cleverly. I was thinking that there should be a sinking, burning ship somewhere in the background. You could put the text S.S. Aftermath on it or something. Just an idea.

Perfect as is, I's say.... sub!

ok, i take a break, need to digest this, need more comments and suggestions :) They help a lot. Let me know!

still doesnt look as devastated as id like it to be =p i was thinking more along the lines of those war scenes were the colours are all drab tones. =p I guess im seeing the symbols as being some sort of wreckage instead of just colourful floaty stuff in the ocean if you know what i mean. :)



and i veto the text. i think the design is pretty solid.. perhaps break some numbers/symbols apart?

yes, i'll do it. this is the first part.... too shiny, aint it? this week i'll post the devastated version :) need more comments btw. :)

nice pun



you can make some square roots circling around the boat like shark fins

I think the devastation is a matter of tone.... it doesn't need to be violent to make it's point -- I think we all 'got it' without any trouble.



Adding carnage would be a personal choice, and as a point of pitching it to the community for real consideration as a printed design, you might want to look through the catalog and mentally note designs that could have been made more violent or made less violent, but aren't, and see which way the wind blows....

I agree with bygrinstow too, i try another version with a different palette with a couple of broken symbols too. At the end i can choose the shiny one or the new one... just give me some time :) workdays start tomorrow and i'll be busy :( I just need to digest this illustration and find out something new to add/modify :) thanx again ppl

Very nice, I agree with broken symbols/numbers, maybe a number sticking vertically into the air? kind of bobbing like a ship before it sinks. I'd like to see a shark circling. also maybe light reflecting off the numbers.



please crit me

http://www.threadless.com/critique/39801/Swing_axe

new palette, now the characters pop up and you can see them at first sight. There is a shark too, and at the moment only one symbol si broken..just let me know :)

Wow, this version looks a lot better than the past ones. Looks perfect to me. Submit



please critique mine

Submit this.



I would suggest You change the title to AFTER MATH (two words)

Hahaha! Love this design! Please submit this.





wow. haha! can't get over it!

crit my design?

you might want to change your thumb ;)

hehe, i'll submit this once i finish it. i have to break apart a couple of symbols and try other palettes. And yes, the thumb will be different. Thanx ppl (Where are all the designers btw?)

hehe... yes thats nice.. but now theres a new problem, the symbols are harder to recognise now cos of the low contrast between brown/black. not sure where to go with this heh..

updated: new palette, broken symbols, a couple of details adjusted. Better the previous version? about the colors i mean :)

This is really cool. I really like this design 5 from me.



Your input would help

http://www.threadless.com/critique/42940/title_pending

thanks

hard decision

meh. i love it on the sand tee, but it might not come across as water... sigh =/

meh, ppl? where are you all? :) need feedbaaaack lol

Perfect man. Everyone does blue as water, this is cooler. I love it. You sub it, I buy it, let's GO!



Give mine a crit, would ya?



http://www.threadless.com/critique/43227/Until_Cooler_Heads_Prevail#lastcomment

nice



mine?

Like I said above, I like your colors on the blue. But I like this monotone version on sand... sub them both as two options of the same design... why not?



check my slogans out if you get the chance

i like the sand too. (even if it doesn't look like water, it looks like they're all drowning in the desert, which is pretty excellent.) good design!



Please Vote or Crit if you have time. Thanks!

I think this version is definitely the coolest, you've developed it well. Looks dead smart, well done.

damn, i like this one, but with these colors it seems a desert lol ... i'll try another palette and see if i find another nice solution :) thanx again folk!

Lol!! This tee is def better! I like it, sub it! :D



Please vote for mine. Thanks!

It doesn't look like a desert! DROP THAT PALLET! DROP IT!



No seriously, I would by this right now. It only looks like desert for a tenth of a second, then you go, "Oh, water! This is awesome! Can I buy it now?"

haha lol, i try a sunset palette on a yellow tee. Now it looks like a swamp, and the shark in a swamp doesnt really fit :) If the sunset palette sucks, i go with this version :) thanx ppl!

sand or blue tee, they both look mighty fine! great illo!

great coloring! and the reflections in the water are spot on.

you can always show them both as options (sand/blue) in the final presentation.



looking forward to the next version, and let us know when it's up for voting!



my Animals On Safari is up for voting now :-)

no swamp. the desert palette is great! :)

They both look great. Personally I prefer the blue though.

leave it with the sand color! submit submit!

i have no problem with the sand color, i like it and immediately made the water connection.

sunset palette

feedbacks? :)

You should submit all three.

Make a Flash presentation and let the voters click through.

ok, nice suggestion.... :) I'll prepare the flash asap

this the final! check it out

Very well done!



...but I miss the colors on the blue....

2nd slide! :)

yay! personal preference for sand :) but nice work, how did you do those details on the symbols btw? is it some filter in ps, or manually coloured in? cos it looks really nice.. i need to learn how to do stuff like that haha

it's a clipping mask on adobe illustrator. It's entirely made with adobe illustrator. The characters are hand-drawn, then vectorized (is this the right word?) and adjusted. Lot of work btw. The effect inside the symbol that looks like rust or similar is made in this way: 1.spraypaint in black a white canvas on photoshop (not the airbrush, just the spray). 2.adjust bright+contrast to get a crispy contrast between the black and white. 3:turn it into black and white color mode (monochrome). 4:selection box, then copy the selection. 5:go to adobe illustrator, paste it, and live trace it. 6: change colors as you wish. 7. use the clipping mask tool with a shape youand you will see how it works. Try to search for an online tutorial, it will be much more clear than me :)

yes! the final version is perfect, for me. It's hard to give a preference of background color because you did a pretty great job with 3 different "palettes"...maybe i prefer the number 1, which gives a little rusty/vintage look and cool atsmosphere in general. By the way, this time i don't have nothing to add, that's just really good, really clever, and ready to SUB! ;)

oh yeah, submitted, pending approval. thanx Jebs!!!

thanks clearcut.. ill try it out sometimes XD

awesome, I hope this does well!

oh, I saw the slides... I just liked the multicolor on blue, too.... but they're all good.

sand & blue for me...

good luck at the sub.. it's great!



my Animals On Safari is up for voting :-)

thank you ppl!! :) well, at the end the 3 palettes work pretty good. My fav one is the sunset palette :) let's see the feedbacks when it will be approved :)
