About my design

by pudding731
I'm trying to capture elegance, sorrow, silence, tragedy, and beauty altogether. There's no screaming, she's just gently falling, sinking, quietly..."the silence all around".



Personally I like the back placement, there's a quiet solitude about it. What do you think?

I like the shades of blue and I like the bubbles and curly design but I m not sure if the illustration of the women is right. THe leg and arms are right but where's the head?

I do think that you have captured what you were trying to with ur illustration just add a head to the body or am I missing it?

bubbles coming from...? and the direction of the hair does not suggest a sinking feeling...just a thought...

perhaps just a silhouette of the woman's face looks like she's decapitated

she's missing her head - her back is broken - and the body is all wrong for falling through water - if you have a pool go throw a friend in (face up) and watch their hair and limbs - or watch the last 10 minutes of The Piano - - - the image you're going for is good and works for the comp, but the execution needs some work and a resub

Interesting design I suppose, although the placement of the girl is a little boring. Dunno what i'd do with it though. Still, it looks quite good. The light color of the background doesn't really scream tragedy to me, maybe a little melancholy. Otherwise, I think you've achieved what you aimed to do.

I agree with everyone in that its a great use of colours but you need some evidence that this lady is not decapitated. Also the bubble should be moved because they look like they are coming from here bellybutton!

I really like the back placement but I think there needs to be something on the front as well. I can only imagine a little fish or crane located near the heart (like those lacoste shirts) but I dunno. There's room for improvement.

She's like a contortionist, beatiful illustration but i think she needs a head to understand better the drawing.



Nice colors, well done!

why is the exact same design on both sides of the shirt?

Cool concept, but the bubbles where they are now suggest she is farting to me. Nothing wrong with that, but they should be closer to where her head is.

I like it, and I don't mind that it doesn't have a head, but I think the placement could be a little better, like in a corner or somewhere. Just not in the center, square in the chest. I can't deal with that.

thanks for the comments, they're helpful. i've been staring at it for so long i couldn't see my errors!

i left out the head so it seemed less personal and more mysterious, but i guess all i really did was create a headless, sinking, farting corpse. i'll work on it, thanks!

If you restructure the hair to suggest the head shape, I'd like this a lot more. And I like the placement on the back, it's interesting. And the whole design is a great idea, even though the execution could use a tweak.

I agree with heyhey about the bubbles - due to the blue of the shirt it is almost like she has farted in water...

the lack of a face is weird - the hair is great and the two tone body is also weird

she's not sinking in the water....it looks like someone's pulling her limp body up.



you have a good idea....but you really really need to work on this.

it seems like the bubbles are coming form the wrong spot. shouldn't they be coming from her mouth?

My thoughts exactly. I like the idea of having a design on both sides, but it would have been better if on the back we see the backside of the image on the front.

pudding731 on Dec 21 '06
it's not on both sides...i wrote "on front...OR back". two options. but i like tracy's idea of having some kind of "see through" effect for both sides of the shirt. thanks!

cool design i guess, but you're trying to capture way too much. not many tshirts provoke emotions.

Not terribly eye-catching, and it isn't as emotional as it's trying to be.

back placement is the way to go
ivywillow
ivywillow on Dec 25 '06
if she is sinking, maybe her hair could go up thereby obscuring her face that isn't there anyway?
ivywillow
ivywillow on Dec 25 '06
also, spread out the bubbles or relocate them so they aren't quite so flatulent?

I think the head needs to appear moreso... and I don't like the bubble placement... Also the size of the legs seems to be off a little perspective-wise. But I like where you're going with it...

I find the body kind of funny looking. Esp how it's facing the viewer. I would like it even more if there was two perspective of it one on the front and one on the back. I like what you want to capture though - great idea.
