what do you see? there are a few images in this. before you read what the description is, you should first ask yourself what it is you see inside this t-shirt. first it's a love note. second it's a message to my girlfriend, at the time, and third it is an abstract art piece. in the center you first notice a black mess or the heavy outlined red fire that is being spat from the mouth of a dark black grey monster, it is a penguin, a robot penguin breathing fire from his heart, the marks in the air represent it's ears and it raises one hand like a lucky cat. you can even notice cat like markings above the creatures right eye, both of which are wearing a tribal marking of some sort and have been heavy blackened to introduce the illusion of hallucinations from our beast's mind. it is a nice image and contains a love for hidden images. you will notice on the right hand side there is a heart; with AD marked inside. This stands for Amy and David. This image of love then creates one final spectrum in which our blue space on right touching borders to fire create a face. This is what exactly the garish colors are for. D2

I like it. However, I think you could focus it by presenting it in a rectangular box. That would give it a "cleaner" look while also highlighting the primary elements. In other words - simplify the message.

Regarding the comments by user tomasappleton - I went to his profile and his work sucks. So, you were very nice to give him any response.

This is a critique?

"Um, first, what is this exactly?

Second, the colors are garish."



And this?

"I'm speechless :("



That's not criticism with the intent to help someone. It's just rudeness. By the way - it's not an ad hominem attack at all. I was merely stating that I thought your work sucked. But, truthfully, after closer examination, I would retract that statement. Please accept my apologies. I was unaware of how the site worked and had not seen your full design. It's actually pretty good work. I apologize.



What I should have said is that your "critique" sucks. No apologies for that. Anyway - sorry for the ill feelings and the interruption. I will now cancel my account and get back to my real life.
