HELP!!! Should I cancel my current pending sub?

***
Up for voting!

Am I Art? - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

***

I've just sent in Version 1, but i'm having second thoughts. Maybe I should do Version 2 instead. What do you think?

AHHHH!!! The agony of decision making!

If you can help please head over to my critique here.

or...
just check them out below.

Version 1- Circle with frame

Version 2- Circle with frame and friends.

Version 3- Circle with frame and friends moved around.

Thanks all! Any feedback is very much appreciated.

I'd go with the version with friends. Not sure about the shadows though, they're all falling in different directions.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 3:30am

Thanks Neon Samurai- Thats really helpful. I try a few more things out.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 3:39am

I've added version 3- Background shapes not so contained and added a bit of 3D-ness to them. Also tried to change the shadows- not too sure if they're right at the moment.

I like version 3 best

Dirkje on Sep 25 '07 at 3:41am

I'd go with the second version too! Shadows are a bit weird. Can you think of another color than white? I like it. But my oppinion is that threadless puts them on naturel for guys and I don't lik ethat! Omg I'm already assuming this will be a print when I talk like that! Maybe on khaki?

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 3:44am

Thanks guys. I'm planning to do a white/ light version and a dark version as well. The colours will be different and i'm not too sure how they'll look yet, but that's the plan.

Bramish on Sep 25 '07 at 3:50am

1st one for me definitely.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 2:45pm

Thanks Bram- I'll probably sub 1 then depending on the reaction i may sub the other as a resub.

I'm torn between 1st and 2nd

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 3:04pm

Thanks guys! I think i'll go with #1 first time around and see how it goes.

Version 2....it really fills out the back of the design and then brings the idea home towards the viewer with the final large impression. But i see you went with one. O well. lol. I still like it a lot, but i lie it with friends better. Damn sleep getting in the way of helping Threadless buds out.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 3:41pm

Thanks Evan- I've just this moment subbed it. I like both versions so expect to see both up for voting eventually.

Neon Samurai on Sep 25 '07 at 4:13pm

Cool. I'd really like to see version two up for voting, I think it's still my favourite.

shimala on Sep 25 '07 at 4:23pm

I like 2.

Submitting one now and then another down the road doesn't always work as the one submitted 2nd almost always scores lower than the original even if it's better. I just think people hate seeing pretty much the same thing again... just my two cents

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 4:33pm

darn- I just subbed v1!

shimala's opinion counts for like... a million! (thanks for commenting by the way).

Maybe I should cancel the other one and sub 2.
What do people think?

Chipmnk on Sep 25 '07 at 4:34pm

Yeah, I like version 2.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 4:39pm

AHHHH!!!! i'm normally so decisive!

Bramish on Sep 25 '07 at 4:41pm

NO! VERSION 1!

What does shimala know about what makes a good t-shirt? It's not like he's a top dog at a major t-shirt design site or anything is it? Jeez.

nikolina100 on Sep 25 '07 at 4:45pm

I like V1 too....breathe man, it's going to be ok :)

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 4:47pm

yeah, I don't know if I can be bothered with changing it all up now. Plus I don't have time anyway so... meh.

Bramish on Sep 25 '07 at 4:48pm

I like the simplicity of the single character v1.

The extra characters just distract from that and make it not as instantly appealing.

ahhreal on Sep 25 '07 at 4:49pm

lose the shadows, or destroy them like you did to the objects themselves

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 4:50pm

Me to, though I like both. But there's a few small things about V2 that's bugging me.

WanderingBert on Sep 25 '07 at 4:51pm

the extra shapes do need something to ground them though, otherwise they're just floating. Maybe i'll try that later on.

3 days later

maxattack on Sep 28 '07 at 6:21pm

#1 dude. wicked cool.

Neon Samurai on Sep 28 '07 at 6:47pm

Make no mistake #1 is a great design. I'd prefer v2 if the shadows were fixed but I think v1 is a stronger design as is. Good luck with the voting man.

FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 28 '07 at 6:52pm

Version 2 is waaay more interesting to me and adds another dimension to the design as they all seem to be holding up their frames to invisible people's shirts in the distance, as opposed to just the one. I like both, but i like version two with friends better.

WanderingBert on Sep 28 '07 at 7:10pm

Thanks all, I'll see how V1 goes in the voting, and when I have time I want to fix up V2 and put in up for voting sometime down the road- not too soon though, because as shimala said, the resub often scores lower than the original.

opifan64 on Sep 28 '07 at 7:21pm

I liked version #1 the best... but I could be wrong... I often am, lol.

V3 is sweet!

craig is right about resubing... but

i've majorly reworked three subs lately and two have dramatically improved scores in a low scoring period by .5 or so - and the other improved by .1 , but it was a much higher score to begin with

Andreas Mohacsy on Sep 28 '07 at 7:25pm

ps, i liked V3 because it has a more dynamic feel and message, it pushes the concept by having various depths within the frame, and a third outside of it
