About my design
by speedyjvw   
First let me start off saying, this is obviously very abstract so its very open to interpretation. Everyone will take something different from it, I hope this will help guide you to the message I was trying to put across.

Everything in this sub derives from the title Peace/Power. The left side represents peace with the hand having the pointer and middle finger making a “V”, the international sign for peace. The swan is the deception of peace. From afar swans seem like very gental peaceful creatures, but have been know to be violent and have no problem attacking.

Right represents power with the crossed fingers to show that in today’s world you must lie and cheat to gain true power. The lion represents power in its purest form.

The skull represent s the need of power to obtain peace, which usually ends in death.

The pyramid on the eye is much like the one on the back of the U.S. dollar bill. The pyramid one the dollar bill represents the forming of a new nation, and even says in latin “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM” (new order of ages). I changed the placement of the eye so it was more of a symbol of the dollar bill itself and everything it represents

I love how abstract it is and the natural color choice.

The side placement is always get with the idea you're going with.
Oh, and by lion do you mean wolf? Sorry if that's a dumb question, haha!

In any case, great job. $5

I dig it. My only gripe is that the bird should really be a dove but I can see how the swan serves the design better. I give it a 4 in the orange combo.

You're trying to pack way too much symbolism in one image. Plus, wolves, skulls and pyramids are all cliché.

I like the side placement, as it only allows you to see either peace or power at once.

Way too much symbolism in one shirt... it dilutes the individual parts' meanings, like a car with a thousand bumper stickers on the back.

i like the swan. it's just kinda random to me.

side placement is top-notch for this mesmerizing submission. For once, the overthinking of the explanation was interesting and can be plainly seen in the design , instead of merely how the designer wants you to interpret the abstractness.

i dont know what to tell you if you think it has too much sybolism
its art, its not always about being straight foward or funny
otherwise,
thanks for all the great comments so far

$5, the contrast of having a skull then non skeloton hands right next to it is cool. lunchboxbrain, a dove would be too cliche swan is the new bringer of peace.
