New idea I had this morning that I had to instantly stop what I was doing to illustrate. What do you think? Also, black and white or color version?

Hahaha, I love it. I think it looks best in grayscale.

non-color version looks good.

Grayscale, and it's awesome.

Ha! Good stuff :)

I actually like it best with the color, lol, but the greyscale is awesome, too

lol:) this is a funny idea!
i actually think if you do it in vector style, clean and cartoony it'll work much better:)
this has great potential:)

Yeah, that's my other question. It's not a style that I've used before, but I feel like the rough sketchy look works with the idea - what do you all think?

Should I sub it like this, or would it have a better shot with a cleaner, vector cartoon look?

I like the colored one too!
One question, are the words and speech bubbles getting less and less crisp or is it just me?

That's the point of the shirt, that copies degrade each time. I like the sketchy style and I like the color but the greyscale is good, too.

Yes.

Yeah, vector might work too, but I like the sketchy style to make more of a point of the copying word being degraded.

I also think the grayscale works best because most places still use black and white copiers, don't they?

Those are exactly the reasons I made it sketchy and b/w first, but then I started second guessing myself and adding color and thinking of reworking it. Nice to be re-affirmed that I was on the right track to start with! Thanks!

I like it just the way it is :)

Great, thanks for the feedback everyone! I think I'm going to sub the gray version as is. Woohoo!

Glad you're subbing the grey version, it's my favorite of the two. :-3 This is an awesome idea and a great design.

grayscale and i fudgin love the gradual degradation within the text, you should print it out high quality and find the cheapest copier you can and copy the illustration then use that as the final image

Bahaha, super funny. Really amazing. Also have to say: greyscale. I think this might be a print.

OK, made some slight changes to fix some composition issues and make everything a little easier to see. I think this bad boy is ready to sub! What do you think?

   queenmob on Aug 18 '11 at 10:56am
I like that the font gets washed out at the end. Nice job.
