Things I have to change:

- Spacing inconsitancies

- Font

If you can, show it on a shirt so it's easier to judge

reduce some text dude, but I really like this idea.

in the last box u have "mefor" instead of "me for"

On the shirt @

ha ha, the logic in this is flawless! I like the final box, but maybe you could reduce it a little more.
Oh, and if you had this on the back instead, it would give people behind you in line something interesting to do. just a thought.

this is an incredible idea. and i agree with the back placement. however, i think a hand-drawn version with colors would drive this baby home.

I might try a hand drawn version, but i wanted to stick to the formality of the font as that's what's used in most flow charts...

Also, Re: the colours, this is for the 1 ink contest, so I'm gonna stick to 1 for the time being, but depending on the score, I might change that!

I really like it as-is.

lol its like those species things i did in science class in 7th grade XD , thats so cool!

coool. some colour coding prob wouldn't hurt, but it still works nicely as is.

yeah lol. just do more with it, like the suggestions mentioned above.

I agree, back placement.

Just one thing, the semi-colon use in the last box... you don't need a semi-colon. Maybe you could shorten it to "... on average, 42 seconds, and you look ridiculous right now" or something shorter so there isn't so much text. Either way, lose the semi-colon or place it after 42 seconds : "42 seconds; by now, myself and probably everyone..."

oh man, can you tell I'm a grammar freak?

the idea is great :D add some colour like people have said before, I don't know if it's just me but it seems a tad to ridged...maybe try it sort of going on an angle? maybe try it more hand drawn? either why it's really good and I would buy it :D :D

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll try a handdrawn & colour one later. Maybe I'll have to sacrifice my entry into the 1NK contest after all!!

Very unique idea I like it, look forward to seeing a second version

My hand writing looks like comic sans!!

Looks good. Go for it!

Great idea, but a massive "NO" to "The ouit staring already!!"

Eugh, makes me cringe.

hand drawn boxes and lines ftw!

^^

Agree.

agree with tont about the american english. I though this was for the one colour competition? I'can see it looking nice as dark brown ink on a really faded salmon colour

hey tont, I've gotta appeal to the americans!

hey tesc, I've gotta appeal to the americans!

So I was like, that is like, so lame?

lol..like the colour!

ok, I'm much happier with handdrawn everything

Great!
I got a good laugh, coz, well, I read all the way to the bottom, and agree !
I see this selling well.

much better, well done, best of british.

i like this alot, looks threadless...y

argh, 1 colour or not!!?

please see version 4 for close up of design (sans shadows)

it looks much better hand drawn, much better. I think this would look better on a deep blue or purple, but then I have a fascination with anything in those colours, but grey just takes away from the design, and it's done so well.

FINAL VERSION!

hahahaha. this is awesome! sub it!

Hahaha. That's sweet. I'm not sure I'd personally wear it, but I'd want it anyway. :-) My brother would love it.

Cracking! Love the idea!

hmm mixed feelings about this one then

No shadows!

v4 easily my favourite

yeah dont start overdesigning it

way funny gj

I with V4 as well.

I subbed 4 as the main design :)

I mean, I will sub 4 as the main design

Now with 100% more FLASH!

Ooooh, flash looks great. I'd take the 1nk logo out of the corner of the shirt, though. People will get confused.

Ahhh, I can't be bothered now, i'll just explain it in my initial comment

I like the multi-coloured version on black. And yeah, ditch that 1nk logo.

ok fuckers, done diddly un

although clever, it is still a rather boxy design. still, a good play on those sorts of graphs.

I haven't seen this submission since V1. This is much nicer- I love the cartoon effect!!! Perfect as is. Hit submit!

its funny but in what situation is someone going to be able to stare at you head on for 42 (or more) seconds? I would hope it wasnt a cashier, cuz there would probably be a line forming behind you. Still though, very funny. And i like the wobbly style of the lines and boxes. ooooh. Threadless can do embroidery. Incorporate some of that. Or puff ink. Or Felt ink.

Just a quick thought before I sub this:

is it worth using any speciality inks with this?

I'd like puff ink, but I'm worried that it would skew the text by puffing inwards (does that make sense?)

I don't think you need any specialty inks. this works because it's simple... at least in my opinion

It's so nice and simple, yet funny and worth my time to stare at it. Awesome job!
And no, no specialty ink is needed. It's great the way it is. (:

I agree that you don't need special ink, and I love this, but if you do get printed, and they do allow you some puff ink, yeah, I bet it'd mess up the text - but if you had your heart set on it, just doing the lines would be pretty cool.

You're missing a "no" on the bottom big box. Puff on the lines only, maybe? I worry that it will be hard to read.

If I know what you're saying, you're wrong - there isn't supposed to be an option for the last box because it's not a question. Same applies to the top right hand box. I hope that's what you're saying anyway.

maybe outline the boxes in puffy ink? i love this shirt but i think there should only be one "final" box instead of the last big box going over to the "why are you still staring" box. or maybe just get rid of that arrow. cause it doesn't really work going from that box over.

I think I would take the "truth is..." box and make it lead to the "carry on" box rather than the "Then why are you still staring" box.

love it!

I would buy this shirt in a heartbeat!

this is so awesome. i want this shirt.

turned out great with the raw style. good job!

its cute but so many words, the guidlines say minimize the amount of words

what are you talking about??? what guidelines?

I think that refers to slogan-type designs where the text doesn't really serve a purpose

hahaha

Were you inspired by the taco flow chart that never got approved?

?????

nope, never seen that before in my life... that's much better than mine though! I feel ashamed

i like it lol its funny
hmm and was that an "oh my" good or bad?

I REALLY love this concept and it was really executed well.

I would definitely buy this.

i would keep all the same colors on all the shirts :)


critique mine

Nothing special needed.

It seems a little too much to read for a t-shirt design. Most people have short attention spans.
