contradictory proverbs:



TEXT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:



1. Actions speak louder then words.

The pen is mightier then the sword.



2. Out of sight, out of mind.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.



3. Opposites attract.

Birds of a feather flock together.



4. Look before you leap.

He who hesitates is lost.

maybe make the type bigger, so that you don't have to get right up to the people to read it. but love the design and idea

thank you Stump... i'm making the type bigger as we speak...



anybody else want to weigh in before i finalize V2?...

UPDATES:



// made text slightly larger

// black and white text to create "contradictory" feel

neat, i would move it to the lower right of the shirt

the light robed guy has spots on his face

and it would be better if they werent the same drawing just different color and dif face, try redrawing one of them so they are a little different

cool T... i'll try changing one of them so they aren't the same...



the spots on the face come from this lower resolution image... i had to get it under the 120k limit and that was the result... :( they're not in the original file... promise ^_^

This is the thinking man's (and women, don't forget the women) shirt

i think the text is kinda small

the placemente on the botton of the shirt maybe will goes better

something about the white text doesn't work for me. Can yo uchange it to match the color of the guy or make it bolder. It might be tha the white lines look thinner than you other lines in the drawing so it looks like it was added later. Maybe it is the low res. Other than that I like it

i like what they are saying but i dont like how they look. too cartoony

UPDATES:



// enlarged text and changed font color...

// new font type

// redrew the body of character on left (still similar but not "cut and paste")

You have 2 typos... In the first 2 phrases, you should have "than" instead of "then."



Other than that, looks cool. Submit it after you fix those!

i think this design would benefit from an unnatural color scheme.

because the design takes effort to understand (someone would have to read each bubble) it would look better with some different colors in my opinion, right now it looks like it could have been an inkjet iron-on

tired, thanks for catching my bad grammar... (you'd never know i was born and raised right smack in the middle of America by my spelling)...



El, i don't really understand how changing the color is going to help with the complexity of the design, but hey, what the heck, i'm feelin lucky so i think i'll give a try! any color choices you got in mind?

Like this...a lot!

I like this color scheme too :)

I like the colour scheme, myself. Actually I just really like this design overall. ^_^

thanks niko and elski... good to know i don't completely suck ^_^

that fixed what i was writing about in the last one. Looks great

UPDATES:



// fixed typos

// added shadows

// explored color palette

how do you guys feel about these colors compared to my previous versions?

I think i like the green from the previous submissions more. Given that the two guys are sitting in identical positions the shadows underneath them should also be very similar. Currently the guy on the right's protrudes out more than the one on the left.



I personally like the cartoony feel of the font type in previous versions as well, but i guess that is just me.



I think to make them stand out more from each other without huge reworks would be to make their head shapes different. I can see that they are no longer the same if i really look at them, but at first glance they still look like copies.

thanks eatabag... i like the earthy green version myself... i was just taking someone's suggestion about exploring the color... i think i'll revert back, fix the shadows and rework the head shapes...



at the moment i think i'm going to leave the font type as is, it adds more character to the design...

Much easier to read. The fact that they are thinking and arguing kind of bothers me but anything else would probably ruin the idea.

UPDATES:



// reverted back to "earthy" colors

// adjusted head shapes

// exploring tee colors

hey hey hey, i would buy this.

yeah i like the colors better...



i don't know what color t-shirt i would buy this on, though. it would look nice on all three.



i like :)

hey... i just had a quick idea i wanted to try out... inside the "actions speak louder then words" bubble i placed an image... hope you guys like ^_^



otherwise, i'm gonna go back to v5 and submit...

omg this is fab

YOU SHOUld change this dramatically. i love the idea but not the presentation

what do you guys feel about the placement and size on tee?



do i need to exaggerate his expression to make it more interesting/funny?

what do you have in mind, Lieutenant Dan?

I don't think this reads right. I think your punchline is going to come first the way you have it laid out.

I like V5 better and I love the colors in V4

I don't think you need the picture in the last bubble. As for placement...I think it would look good in one of the bottom corners.

uhhhh... i'm so confused... anybody else wanna weigh in on this and help me out?



personally, i like the "actions speak louder then words" bubble... but who am i? ^_^

I like the bubble, and I like the action, but I do think it needs to come last - you read their thoughts from the top down and the added graphic makes it a nice clear joke

I agree, the joke should be last.

But why a gun?



How about a hug?

like previously said, this way you read the bubble with the drawing first. however it might be unbalanced if you reversed the order, because you would have all these figures at the bottom.

maybe its just me but i start with the thought bubbles coming out of their head and work my way up... (same way you do with speech bubbles)...



section, they are suppose to be debating... and when it comes to "actions speak louder"... i guess he's just tired of debating... BANG!

I like the first version a lot better.

I definitely like version 5 better. I think the image in the thought bubble makes it too busy.

i like the v4 colors the best, but the v6 placement, etc is great. i think the dude with the gun def. works, it brings closure to it the idea imo.
