About my design
by travis76   
another 5 color design- probably my last for this year.
just mixing stuff I like in a retro poster style.
my closing thought is that i may put something in the upper right.... a retro-futuristic plane dropping a trail of bombs into the lower picture. other than that, this is one of my personal faves. the scientist and font are pure propaganda poster, just how i like it. no glo inks- it just looks that way.

i love the retro poster look and, as I'm a science person, its very unpredictable; either save the world or kill us all. LOL. like it. My kind of tee-shirt

i love the design. The text "will save the world.." looks outta place though.
Barbarella007
Barbarella007 on Dec 29 '06
I also agree that the design would be stronger without the "will save the world" text. I like the ambiguity of simply stating "Modern Science". This design has a 1940's Max Fleischer Superman quality to it, which is to say, very nice!

aw...the 'will save the world- or kill us all' diagonal was to me the essence of the off-kilter german poster style...so maybe i'll work it more to your likings if it gets called up- print it level underneath the right of 'science'

Word. $5.
travis76
   travis76 on Dec 29 '06
thanks for the comments- alot of people have issue with the diagonal text, or the spacing, or both, but it's really inspired by alot of old german and russian posters- trust me! however, if i get enough positive constructive feedback, i'll rework the words (or...sigh...eliminate) as YOU the voters decide! (if of course, they let me- in the event of, well, you know.)

rudra on Dec 29 '06
don't change the text - it's an essential element - and the style/angle is exactly right for the poster vibe you're going for -placing it level under "science" would kill the design

I think the placement of the text is great, I just personally don't care much for the content of the text. But it looks great in the design.

my fav sub of your recent batch by a country mile... except the pinball one which was sublime.... Still somewhat bothered by the way it cuts off at the bottom of the design... just seems wrong... regardless of that an awesome piece of work.

Actually, I retract what I said earlier about removing the text.. The angle/style does work.. But do reword it. Either something less obvious, or perhaps a pastiche of Nazi/Soviet propaganda?

This design gives me hope that people are still submitting quality, thoughtful designs to Threadless. Personally, in regard to the diagonal text, I would make it a tad bit smaller and angle it to match the yellow behind it. Or something. I dunno. But 5.

If this one doesn't work for you - revise with those little skeletons on the bottom!!! I just saw the preview and loved it!!! You sold me just on the skeletons.

WHAT a skeleton!

my first thought was that the scientist looks like the professor on powerpuff girls. for that, i would totally wear this, and yes i understand that calls my sexuality into question. oh, well.
(matthijs)
   (matthijs) on Dec 31 '06
This looks hot, but the type needs work. I understand you're going for the retro german/russian look, but for some reason it does not work. I kinda have a problem with the skeletons in the bottom as well. They don't seem to fit the style with the straight lines the rest of the illustration has. Anyway, that's my constructive feedback, that should be ignored of course...

xiiiin on Jan 01 '07
I am agreeing with the comments about reworking the text. Can't decide if you need the subhead. I would say that "modern" shouldn't be tilted but instead rest above the word science horizontally, though I hate the font that "modern" but oh well that is just me. Anyhoo without being too long-winded I think your two styles are fighting one another but it's close!! I'm content with the illustration elements.. they are hot. Now, this could be printed as is and still be great, but with fixing up the type it could be AWESOME. =] happy new year

hogboy's right, the shirt is perfect except that it feels weird it cuts off all straightlined on the bottom (I understand this would make full sense if it WAS on a poster), maybe just extend the scientist's cloak a bit below the skeletons and it would feel 'right'... really love the simple and smart decision to use the vial as the I in science, looks great, good work, 5
