is there any specific meaning?

shirtflirt on May 24 '06 at 12:57pm

i don't know what's going on with it

a dude

some cubes

one with a cube cut out

a question mark under shoe???

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 12:59pm

i dont know what it has to do with progress

titz on May 24 '06 at 12:59pm

well its pretty literal, the idea is that, we need take what we know about the obstacles we�ve over come in our past and use then to over come the obstacles of our future.

stabilo boss on May 24 '06 at 1:00pm

we're supposed to guess that?

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:01pm

i guess i dont see how with a little thought one couldnt see the emaning, i guess im wrong.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:02pm

meaning*

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:02pm

Ya, I don't think that's really clear at all

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:02pm

cube seems transparent, as if this man is an ice deliverer. I would not glean what you explained from this graphic.

I like the image.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:03pm

oh c'mon, its like a video game... you just gotta figure out how to beat the next level.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:04pm

man, it sall there, you can see the other side but just cant get there.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:04pm

I get what you're saying about it, but I don't think anyone would get it without explanation

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:05pm

no one wants to think on this site.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:06pm

its had type on it that said 'PROGRESS' in perspective, want me to put that back up?

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:07pm

I thought about it, but the question mark makes me assume that he is wondering what is on top of a possible refrigerator, which makes me think of ice, and thus my last comment.

It would be a nice conversation starter, as it could elicit numerous interpretations.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:08pm

I guess I don't see how either of those objects are "obstacles" when he could just walk around them

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:09pm

omg. its a shirt dude.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:10pm

when i said literal i meant in meaning not space and time.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:10pm

because it's a shirt, you need to get across your meaning instantly, people don't have time to sit there staring at it trying to figure it out. It's a lot like advertising

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:11pm

I agree with Frank.

Dan-O on May 24 '06 at 1:12pm

It looks cool, I'll say that much.

And I prefer the blue.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:12pm

no, advertising has several hundred applications, now if youre referring to print advertising you should refer to magazines or billboards which both have widely different time spans to catch a viewers attention, this is a shirt, i wear shirts i like, not shirts i want other people to like that sell them shit.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:15pm

commitment to an idea is much more important. s

pires i see your trying to get some feedback on your new idea, its fuckin great, you know why, cause i can tell you have some deep meaning behind why you chose to design it.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:15pm

As for advertising I was referring to billboards mostly.

As for shirts you like... this site has a voter system and if you don't try to appeal to the masses you have no chance in hell of getting a shirt made. That being said, if you just want to show your creativity, that's cool, I agree it's a fun thing to do, just don't expect people to rate it very highly.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:17pm

yea i guess back to the drawing board for some silloette birds and animals screwing.

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:18pm

You are attempting to sell this shirt to others, which means that others should understand it. A major charm of t-shirts is wit, which implies brevity; this site in particular is fabulous because largely, art is married to wit creating both intriguing and aesthetically pleasing pieces.

This has the aesthetic appeal, but I fear the wit is lacking. It does have a cryptic sort of intrigue, but not impact.

Just my opinion.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:20pm

ok so lets think, maybe the guy should have just beating up a little girl and now has to face her hug older brother... how can he throw the little girl at the big brothe rto defeat hime.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:21pm

i g ues smy thing is that this could work on serveral levels, if this isnt the application what is?

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:23pm

This might work on a poster... Gives you more time to think

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:25pm

i meant applying the idea of using our past to solve the problems of our future to another senario.

shirtflirt on May 24 '06 at 1:27pm

theres no way anyone would arrive at the conclusion your driving at, titz.its just not that clear.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:30pm

Another scenario? hmm...

I don't know, it's a tough one...

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:32pm

I appreciate your comments regarding my design, titz.

Thanks for mentioning it.

Ste7en on May 24 '06 at 1:34pm

uh...I didnt read half of the comments, but when I look at it I say "hey he could put that small cube into the hole in the big cube...except...why would he do that? what does it accomplish? why is he near cubes, why doesnt he walk around them? are they ice? wouldnt ice melt on a hot red shirt?

-s.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:34pm

no doubt, posted new version w/ type.

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:35pm

well he would then be able to get over "it", being the obstacle that we all have in our lives, just have to find out what it means for you.

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:36pm

Perhaps if he was somehow bound to the larger block, it would represent and impasse.

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:36pm

The word progress makes me think of something political..

for example, I could see a shirt with the word "Progress?" and have it showing a black man still stuck in a low-level job, or a woman still dressed as a house-wife, something like that, but I don't really think of progress as a word that would be used to mean putting a block in a hole

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:37pm

Or perhaps if he was frozen inside of it, and only his hand was free, through that hole cut from the larger block.

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:37pm

an impasse*

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:39pm

spres, thats interesting.

spires on May 24 '06 at 1:40pm

I'm glad if you find it useful.

Ste7en on May 24 '06 at 1:40pm

what im asking is...why wouldnt he put his foot in the hole and step over it if he needs to climb it...the hole represents nothing that can be interpreted logically...filling the hole wouldnt visually accomplish any task that the viewer would notice- some holes arent even meant to be filled- so why would the viewer think it accomplished anything in a metaphorical way?

The design isnt poorly drawn, and the idea you have is good, but the design doesnt demonstrate the idea well enough in my oppinion

Frank Vice on May 24 '06 at 1:40pm

that might just be seen as a david blaine reference haha

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:46pm

well atleast we're thinking about it now. david blaine, ha.

Veverka on May 24 '06 at 1:58pm

did my comment get eaten?

titz on May 24 '06 at 1:59pm

must have.

Veverka on May 24 '06 at 2:01pm

As I said before and say agaaaain...

The composition is unbalanced. It's a lot heavier on the right than on the left. Fix this by moving the guy over to the left a bit more.

I like the text, but I think it would work better if it were three dimentional, like the boxes.

titz on May 24 '06 at 2:03pm

it is and was, an dif the guy moves over he isnt inline with the perspective...

titz on May 24 '06 at 2:04pm

furthermore if by balance you are only considering the left to right then sure, but top to bottom its very balanced.
