NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO PROMOTE YOUR OWN DESIGNS

So, i haven't scored anything close to all of them but this is one of my favs so far - it's unique amongst the rest and i love the extra character additions

i would really like to turn it into a shirt design though in it's own right, but i'm not certain where the lines are drawn for this. I'd obviously not just be copying what was on the wall and putting it up (i might as well use the photo in that case), but reworking it completely and just using it as inspiration and the concept basis for my own design.
is that fair though? it seems such a grey area? at what point does inspiration cross over into theft?]]> Fri, 25 May 2012 09:33:26 -0500
I have a photo i took in India of some wall art which I was thinking of using for the loves photo challenge. It's pretty simple graffiti, more like a poster than anything, but the concept is really great which is why i took the photo and why i was looking at using it.

thing is, there are aspects of it i really don't like design wise and photo wise so i was also thinking of just redoing it completely as a design for a regular sub - what I've started working on is similar in style but with changes to layout and a little to the wording, but really keeping the original solid concept.
do you see where i'm going with this?

I would almost feel a bit weird subbing it as a photo sub because it feels a little like someone elses work, but then reworking it and subbing it as a design, feels a little weird too because it's someone elses idea....

basically, the question I'm asking is am i stealing if i go forward with this in either direction?

so i did this instead but i don't know if i like it

]]> Tue, 22 May 2012 15:50:06 -0500 the only other site i've even vaguely dabbled in is Design By Humans and without much success at all but I'd like to change that. I know a good few people on here are successful elsewhere - i hear DBH and woot come up a lot but it all feels a bit like unchartered territory and I'm a little hesitant to get my feet wet.

so I'd like to hear a bit about what other sites you've used, what you think of them and what you'd reccommend? Are you more successful elsewhere than here and if so why do you think that is - is it your style, is it your presence or are you just damn awesome everywhere!

WIP:

I've made some minor changes to the background and the clouds, next question is yellow or not yellow?

not yellow


yellow


I took this photo just outside Yosemite National Park on our road trip last year.
I can't take credit for the clever graffiti obviously, but I love the sentiment and when the threadless loves photography challenge came up I wanted to try do something with it. I've had to muck about with it a LOT to try get it to blend into the shirt with varying degrees of success - if there's anyhting that really stands out awkwardly, please point it out! at the moment it's just a white halftone on black.

thoughts so far?
