This is way too complicated a concept and too hard to read for a t-shirt.
|
 |
biggggggger
|
 |
i like the design a lot. i am always going around and correcting people- bad use of the english language annoys me... i like that this is a parody on grammar lessons, however, it does need to be larger- it's very hard to read.
|
 |
thanks for the feedback so far folks, do you mean bigger on the shirt itself or u want a bigger view of the design?
|
 |
right on! maybe a wrap-around
|
 |
Love it. $5
|
 |
Haha, $5 this is so clever!
|
 |
great colours, bigger
|
|
^ Thanks folks, check out larger views and a bigger design style in the blogs
|
 |
i don't think i would ever wear it, but i laughed. great idea and execution.
|
 |
i am such a grammar nazi, i would so buy this!
|
|
bigger on the Tshirt itself. Once that's done, $5. Until then, 3.
|
 |
love it $5
|
 |
I love this.
I would so buy it. whoo! |
|
uberdan, cheers for the comments mate, if you click on the link a few comments above there is an option for a larger placement in the blog. Have a look and give us some feedback. If you don't like the 'over the shoulder' style then we can just make it larger in a similar position as it is at the mo. ... everyone else, thanks!
|
 |
it's funny - but step3 bugs me as it's not showing the don't like the other steps (could be hard because a lot of "out-of-date" slang is now retro and in use again - "right on" isn't the best illustration of outdated slang if that's what you meant) - - - - it needs to be much larger, maybe with the gramophone at the bottom and the text going up on a diagonal (you could stagger the lines so they don't all start at the edge of the bell)
|
 |
I'm just amused because I'm an English teacher and it's a unique concept $5
|
|
Ha!! Yes because 'right on' is so 'hip' nowdays rudra!!
Keep all the writing the same just make it bigger!! I can imagine 'geeking it out' in this shirt |
 |
Im like the uber grammar police at my school, so i'd love to have this

I really like the over-the-shoulder thing. Maybe I'm the only one? But I'm all for a shirt that corrects people :).
|
|
I think the wrap-around is executed well, but I really like the design as is. The perspectives/colors rock.
|
|
I love it. Ha. I'm on my way to becoming an English teacher, so things like this make me happy like whoa.
The wrap around looks lovely, but I think I prefer it the way it is now. Maybe a clearer font? Or larger? I think it may be a bit hard to make out on a shirt. |
|
^ sorry but "outdated slang" should make you go wtf? - i happen to hear "right on" a lot - it may be dated, but it's not obsolete (thanks to redneck-chic) - and it all depends on what sub-cultures you rub shoulders with - i hear a lot of slang from the 30s-50s because of rockabilly and film noir geeks - i just think the "example" phrase could be and should be something bizarre and seldom (if ever) heard in your daily dealings
|
 |
you forgot:
always avoid alliteration; and never use a gargantuan word when a diminuative one will suffice! hehe. i am a nerd. |
 |
I like the design, but the text will be tough to read.
|
 |
very clever. i need this. 5$ and print, please!!
|
 |
Nice. The grammar nerd in me needs this.
But I agree it's too small. Put your grammar phone in the bottom left corner, tilt the words about 45 degrees up, and make it wayyyy bigger. |
 |
I assume the "learn how to write good" was on purpose, but it bothers the hell out of me.
Otherwise, nice. |
|
haha, yeh semanti... everything up there is intentional. cheers folks, especially the english teachers! muchos love
|
 |
I think thats the point of no.6.
Nice |
|

 |
Lawlz If it were bigger maybe
|

|
 |
i actually like the "color, tshirt detail" part of the entry the most.
|
|
Being a grammar geek, I would by this.
|
|
thanks everyone, embryo - we'll print you a lil' details version all of your own! hehe
|
 |
Very clever, i love your text shirts, its nice to see something different on here for once

|
|
made 50 comments! cheers guys, we're still pretty new here so thanks for la support
|
 |
This rocks, yo. No joke. I'd wear this crazy cat around, but I do agree, a little bigger on the shirt would rock. Look into a clearer font as well?
|
 |
sweet! $5!
|
|
cheers guys, nodus - its hand written mate, thought it would be nice to stray away from typefaces with this
|
|
love the wrap around and the concept----5
|
 |
I'm a HUGE grammar stickler, it needs to be bigger, and I don't like the wrap-around on this particular design. Otherwise $5!!!
|
|
Bullshit, double negatives are perfectly acceptable.
Just not in the context you described. |
|
your a bullshit
|
|
hehe, thanks everyone, still three more days to vote or comment, plus, if you like our design, vote it into staff's JOT2 top three in the blogs.
|
 |
I love it. I am an English teacher. I dig the play on "Grammar-phone." I think it would look good on an a ash grey hoodie.
|
 |
My missus is training to teach as well, i'd buy this for her.
Nice concept, $5 |
 |
I don't care what everyone says; I love this. $5,000,000,000.
|
 |
Definitely love it. $5
|
 |
"The double negative has led to proof positive!"
|
 |
I really like this idea but it would be better if the pionts were actual common grammatical mistakes that get on your nerves.
|
|
ok, thanks for the comment man, cheers to everyone else

i love the colors, but lose the text. something about it reminds me of 1984, only in crazy disco technicolor.
|
 |
mezo on Jan 31 '07 Interesting. I like the colors and the concept but feel the handwritten, loopy font doesn't work well with the static, boxy nature of the phonograph. I say, keep the font and redraw the phonograph to be more fluid.
|
 |
THIS IS AWESOME! i'm such a grammar nerd =]
|
 |
HAHAH i love this.
i totally didn't not give it a 5. |
 |

About my design
The text reads:
"-I hope you've got your quills and parchment ready.
-Now lets start learning to write good...
Step 1: Don't use no double negatives.
Step 2: Don't never use no triple negatives.
-Still listening? Right on!
Step 3: If you need to use slang, avoid using out of date terms.
Step 4: Foreign words and phrases are not always apropos.
Step 5: Don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
Step 6: And always remember to proofread carefully, just in case you've any words out.
We realise this style is pretty unlike most designs being submitted here, but please be gentle! Thanks,
J&S
