I Loved this design in the voting the stage, let me just say that.

But then threadless got a hold of it. Whoever made the decision to make this an oversized print ruined this design. The design was an awesome use of negative space, with the trees and sky being objects as well as the aurora. But with the printed version (except for in the hoodie) The trees and sky are all but cropped out. In fact the sky is cut out to such a level that the cute little stars don't show up at all!

This really should have been printed as a band around the belly, with a good three inches or so from the lowest point of the aurora to the hem, and the highest point of the aurora far from the collar.

The oversized-ness makes this an overwhelming instead of ingenious design. I'm disappointed because I loved this in voting, but would never buy this print.

Oversize is just super trendy nowadays, and a lot of people like the way it looks - gigantic and in-your-face colorful! Sorry that you were disappointed though!

I kind of agree, but it's still pretty popular so obviously a lot of other people don't mind. ;)

Is the design different between the guys shirts and the girls shirts, or are my eyes playing tricks? It looks like the design is on the left sleeve of all the girls shirts but blank on the right, but blank on both sleeves of the guys shirts. Or is the difference just between the smaller shirts, and larger shirts?

I'd also like the design better if the T-shirt showed more of the darkness above the colors and trees below. They don't even look much like trees now.

Yeah, it just looks like a wall of color. The design really loses it's effect like that...

I never saw the original design until now.

And wow.

I fell in love with this tee as it is.

And now I've fallen in love with it even more.



But there's no option for the original submission

:P
