i like it. excellent colour scheme. can you give us your meanings behind the constuction/design choices?
by the way...i have been meaning to tell you that i think your designs are fantastic! i really really really hope that Once Upon a War and Nuclear Moonlight get printed :)
Thanks. I hope I'll be getting an email from Threadless soon, but I'm not crossing my fingers.
I found Travis' monologue regarding the idea behind the Revolution inspiring, especially the fact that it's a move for designers to do what they want. So with this piece, I aimed for something designerly: something that didn't have a whole lot of meaning, but looked cool. I'm just not sure if I like it now. I feel like I need to inject it with a message, or at least hint at the existence of one. Suggestions are welcome, of course. Is this too obscure?
I was just now tapping the trackpad to my laptop in a rhythmic fashion while reading your comments......when I scrolled up to click on the "blog forum" button I realized that all your submissions were green!...I thought "wow this guy likes green"......it turns out, that when I tapped my trackpad I was double clicking lkie mad because that's what happens when I tap the trackpad.....also my selecty-color is green........it all makes sense now, doesn't it
id have to say go with the stripes ..while I love plaid, when it doesnt follow the form it just makes it look flat. but the design is really cool and I like the colors. as to putting meaning behind it .. well honestly none of mine have meaning per se .. maybe stories but no meaning. sometimes things just look cool with out a meaning.
but I do have to agree with scoutti..I liek teh lime more for teh same reason he mentioned it just pops more.
The tree branches are distracting, as they're organic and the rest of the design is pretty structured. There's so much going on (with both, the plaid and the stripes in the middle that you've chosen especially), that my eyes don't know where to go. I like the color choices in the top one better, though. Some of the elements are introduced only once, like that curly straw thing on the left, and I think the design would be much better if it were repeated just a tad but more through the design. Not to be entirely negative (you know how my criticisms go), but it needs something to tie it together, because right now, both designs make me feel like they were just splattered on there with no intent of, well, anything...
So! Work on the composition a bit. I'd also suggest making that cyan a bit more muted and stick with the yellow rather than the green. I also think a peach would look interesting. OH. And the dots. I think they're the underlying reason I feel like I'm rushed into the design and right back out. Maybe incorporate the tree branches (since you seem to like them) with the dots... maybe a metamorphosis of the organic branches into the dots, and the same with the dots--have them form an organic or curved shape. I think that'd make a huge difference.
