OK the first one is a guy with a hat, something on his head or something? Love the chicken and the egg or egg is future chicken dinner? Sunny side up is very cool. I'm not sure what the 4th is conveying, "The hills have eyes", if so, maybe make them more like hills than knolls/mounds?

what if the chicken in the egg had a tiny egg inside of it?

Oh and I really didn't get the first one. Even with the give-away clue above, it took me a long time to see it.

Two bullet eyes with a tall black shape above them was my first guess! I haven't played and/or seen Snake. I might be one of the few that haven't so, your call, don't rely on my uninformed opinion.

If you're going to do a, "which came first the chicken or the egg" concept, maybe show a whole chicken in the shell rather than a slaughtered one? If you do that, Bio-bot's thought is cool, show an egg in the chicken in the egg and maybe a chicken in the egg of the chicken in the egg. Ha-ha!

If you stick with the dressed chicken, I'd say there's a future chicken dinner in every egg, which is a cool concept unto itself. Maybe the chicken on a platter, maybe a bit less raw with some tatters around it =]

I say again, those are not hills dude, they are bumps! Remember, "The hills are alive with music"? Those were alps man, you need to think bigger ;D

all of them are great! first ones good even though it took me like 10 minutes to get haha
EricDiaz
EricDiaz on May 18 '10 at 7:48pm
thanks Hildy! Ok, so i tried some different things with the egg/chicken one and nothing else seems to be working. I think i'm going to stick with this one and maybe name it 'Delicious things come in delicious packages'

Also i mocked up the rest of the designs, sorry xiv the sunny side up doesn't really work as a huge print since you cant see the edges of the egg white. Still, that's pretty big! Does anyone know any good tricks for blending the design into the shirt with white? Multiply doesn't work :/

Love, love the iron and the hills are now hills and not little knolls ;D

You could try distressing the egg art but I think it might look better on a less contrasting and more yellow/white harmonious color like tan, brown, etc. Because when you distress the art it allows the tee color to come through and I think the blue will give the yellow a green tinge to it.

here's one way to do it in illustrator

You might try doing this over the egg white layer and apply the same to the yellow egg yoke/sun layer. Then try it with different tee colors (tan/brown/etc.) on a layer below them.

There are other ways to distress images that I'm more familiar with in photoshop. So, if you're not satisfied with the results using this one let me know.

wooo hills! thanks John, i was really trying to avoid distressing as i don't think it fits the minimalistic theme. But you're probably right, i'll definitely try it out as well as some other tee colors. I can't believe i already have 5 designs so far... haha, i could have used this kind of inspiration during the 20B42010 challenge!

I'm liking the diver in the shark but I like the octopus for it's more complex/interesting shape, a more compelling design I think. Whichever way you go, I'm not digging the clouds, conveys sky rather than water to me. Maybe some wave lines starting at the bottom of the octopus and fading out towards the diver could better support/convey ocean or under the sea =]

EricDiaz on May 28 '10 at 6:07pm
thanks guys! John it's supposed to be a sky setting. I hope the message of 'skydiving' gets across without the title. Imagine being eaten by the sky or being a scuba diver with no parachute, either way his fate is sealed... deep i know.

Way too deep for me, I guess "Sky diving" as a title would help me, clueless that I am! Anyway, you're on fire dude! Go, go, go!

Have to say, "the wrinkled iron" blows me away conceptually! Really brainy-fun experience! Seeing, thinking about, and that aha!, I got it, satisfied feeling in the end. Cheers man, great work ;D
