placement?

about We Are Just Pixels After All

this shirt was so nice until i looked at the placement. I suppose the graphic was too big to fit anywhere perfectly but still... blahh. Maybe next time.

yep, not a fan of it either. to me this design should all be visible at once for the full effect, then people move in and go 'hey look at that little sheriff in there..'

Completely agree. Liked it until I saw that.

Well we will agree to disagree then, because I happen to love the fact that it's not symmetrical and centered on the front like a majority of the shirts here. Great Design!

Yeah I think the placement rocks. It makes an already cool design much cooler. Having it centered on the front of the shirt would have been pretty boring considering its a one-color print on black. The only thing that could improve this shirt is if it were long sleeved.. (hint hint)

Man, what terrible placement. It's too low and perfectly placed to create the effect of a big fat beer belly. Actually, with the shelfing effect, the mens version suggests nice ample man boobies.

Between some of the fugly color choices and the bad placement, Threadless ruins more than half the designs that get submitted. They need a better graphic designer on staff, STAT!

Yeah the placement should definitely be a couple of inches higher.

perfect placement.

that is all.

lol @ the US of A being smack-bang in the centre of the design/world.

Hmmm - y'all could've had 15 of my dollars if the placement weren't so try-hard. Why not make it smaller, place it higher, and keep it simple (stupid!)?

I usually love lower and side placements but it makes the shirt slightly limmited in expressing the 'world wide' effect. I mean, yes, the world is round but since I come from Australia I would like to be able to see my country without craning my neck.
The whole world smaller and on the chest was better in my opinion.
I suppose... I can always wear the shirt back to front...but it's doubtful.
This is a shame as it is such an awesome design.

My country is in the armpit.. yay. :P I loved the design, but I won't be buying this shirt. It just doesn't look as cool to have America all over your front, Europe somewhere under your arm and Asia squished between your back and a chair.

I agree... My issue isn't with the wrapping, but with the placement. I think it should be lower down. That would have solved 2 problems:

1) weird boobs (men and ladies!)
2) countries getting smushed under the armpit. Instead, those now-smushed countries would just be hovering under the arm. :D
