Okay well this is my first drawing, of my first thought of a first submission for a design. So basically I would love to know what you guys think and where I should go from here. Thanks Threadless!

nice and simple design. it could use another layer with music notes or some color. get creative and add something with more interest.



please check out my design and leave feedback:

yeah, i plan to add a lot of color within the eight limit, i'm thinking a faded lime green for the actual gramophone part, then a brown for the record player, black for the record and needle, then maybe a rusty type of brown for the table, and i don't know for the stand/holder thing... then i also think some music notes coming out would be cool, maybe i'll find some nice sheet music to transfer into another form of art. Thanks Hipboob!

this is kinda what i'm trying to say too

scratch that last one posted to the wrong thing...

I like the idea and it would definitely be good once you add bright colors, maybe coming out of the music player. Or you could make it look vintage using classy colors.

okay thanks Pink Orchid

Okay so I put it onto Photoshop, ditched the table, and added a musical note burst, tell me what you guys think.



Thanks Threadless!

I like your idea, the gramophone looks really neat.

Those notation lines are a bit too much in my opinion, I would ditch them and maybe try to create something with just notes. Maybe make them do a wave towards right shoulder or somekind of formation in the center.

Also I think the gramophone should be bigger in v2 and somehow I liked the black & white version more.



Please comment on my design, thanks.

right now it looks too much like clip art. Why don't you have a handdrawn dark brown on a light brown shirt?

really like gramophones...

looks a little 'straight'

(don't know if i can use the word in this way)

with all the note-lines...

maybe make the flattering...

Nice idea, I love gramophones and all that steampunk stuff. In my opinion you should go some steps back towards v1 and try to make it look rather sketchy.

dark brown on a light brown shirt sounds good! The music bars have to go I think, or change the colour to something less brash. Like the design, location is really good. Play around with it a bit more.

The notes seem to get lost in the bars..perhaps a brighter color or larger notes.. it also seems very stiff. Maybe try for a more organic flow .. a few notes dirfting here and there to make your eye travel. I love the concept, just could use a little tweaking. :D

thanks everyone! I'll work on that and put in a v3 soon

and also, i was wondering if its an digital image but still a sketch, can Threadless print it??

I think this is a cool idea. I would like to see the music notes swirl up or something. But cool!

Nice idea.



Please look at mine.

Okay. So i'm trying to keep it in color for now... i took out what i called the "musical burst" but was all those lines behind the notes, i added some more notes and had them kinda plume upwards towards the left shoulder. I also enlarged the gramophone and put the design on a cream shirt to give it a more vintage feel. So those are the changes and I think its going in the right direction.Please tell me what you think!Thanks so much Threadless!

I like the idea but the colors don't complement eachother. I especially don't like the cyan color for the gramophone otherwise the design is kool

aww man, this is freakin awesome! thanks for the comment on mine! do you happen to know how I could upload my design without all the pixelation?

Treble clef in the corner is off, otherwise looks a little bland. Try adding more symbols so there is little open space.

okay well i'll think of a new color for the gramophone, thicken up the Note Plume.. the treble clef was supposed to be an accent but i can turn it all into just one big thing and wrap it a little more around the neck too...



Thanks Guys!



Please keep commenting and attach links for yours, i'll return the Favor.

when i first looked at ur desk, it almost felt like the gramophone has little tiny legs, and is playing with little tiny arms to create the music. Then i looked harder and it didnt look like arms at all. Maybe you can play on that and add the arms and legs and make it come alive?



plz comment on mine if u get a chance:

Global Warming Kills Popsicles!

thanks for the suggestion but i think i'm going to keep with the more classical gramophone, but thank you BandB!

This is coming along very well. It looks like you created a slight shading effect on the record player through the use of lines, however this is the only area that you used it on. I suggest that you either continue this shading method throughout, or drop it all together. Otherwise, it is looking great!



Thanks for the feedback, I like your ideas. Please take a look at my new version and let me know what you think: http://www.threadless.com/critique/58727/The_Cheerful_Street

what color shirt are you putting this on? i don't really like the pinkish peachish color... maybe look at some more? maybe you could have the notes be the same color as the gramophone also.

This looks A lot better than last version, well done.

I agree with others that you should try other colours for the gramophone and maybe arranging the notes a bit.

Also try some other vintage colours because the "pink" is just too girly for my taste :)

Other than that I think it looks pretty good.

Tee Template for you

I think its a great design concept AND color scheme! good work!

yes I'd definitely suggest arranging the notes a little better. There is a straight line extending upwards of a quarter note, half note, and an eighth note; it kills the flow. However, I do like how the notes coming out of the gramophone are smaller and they get bigger creating the illusion of depth.

It looks really good, I think the musical notes need to stand out a bit more, maybe try using a different color either for the notes or the tee itself.

Hey guys what color for the inside of the Gramophone and the notes? i'm kinda at a stand still for that!



Thanks Threadless!

As far as a color recommendation, I'm really not sure what to tell ya, play around with it on some different colors. The main thing that stands out to me is the music note up near the shoulder. I think its out of place for 2 reasons, 1- its way smaller than the notes around it and 2- its sitting in a large open space all by its self. I think we get the point with out it. Great work though and best of luck to you.



Please Critique my design.

Maybe if you outlined the notes in a different color, it would help them to stand out a little better.



Please take a look at my new version and leave feedback, I kept the orange but brought back the black:

Like the design, but would definitely like it a tad bit better if the Gramophone had more detail. The shading is nice, but maybe thin outline the edges/lips etc. Give it just a little more flair to match the speaker.

thanks for giving my design a review,



how about u change the gramophone into a gray scale photography image?

hey, i think it could work with a bigger gramophone. also, stay away from the edges a bit more.



have a look and critique of mine if you have time please!

The Oblivious Sproutmonster

I like it a lot! Gramophones are awesome. This is kind of a concept re-working suggestion, but when I first looked at it, I imagined the notes getting denser and denser, forming a kind of cloud or "musical smog" toward the shoulder.



Good stuff!



PS-Thanks for the comment on my "Catch me a Man" concept.

I like it. Maybe the notes need to be more strong (bold).
