About my design

by crookedpark
This is my first submission and the idea is that the "Animal Years" represent a time of introspection and struggle. a time where your soul is being appraised. do you fight, and scrap, and bleed for what you believe in? or do you fade, allowing the birds of carrion to descend upon you, pecking away at your guts until there's nothing left?

I don't like the obvious edges of the print area (try working the background a bit). I like the overall design and colors, though.

I don't mind the background, since it's nicely distressed and light. I DO think the color choices (from the inks to the shirt) are all a bit strange....and at first sight, I thought the birds were wearing bras. The idea is ok, if not a little cliche, and I like the diagonal lines of the wires. Maybe if the colors were different and the guitars were more clear, this would get a higher score...but for now a 3.

I hate the spongy look in the background. It would be 100% better without it.

oh i thought they had backpacks on.... Like Carry-Ons. Yeah, the guitars need definition.

I don't like the background box around the image. If there is a background I'd like to see less obvious rectilinear borders. I'd rather see more of a vignette feel.

I could tell they were guitars but I don't like them, otherwise I love the design. I have thing about powerlines.

guitars are a little small. But I'm not sure how one would fix that. Nice though.

Fxcking amazing =] I like the colours.



I think the powerlines should extend around the shirt a bit.

I think it would be cool without the gutiars, but then that would screw up your whole philosophical idea. Still pretty nice tho, and the colors work well

it feels live traced/traced in flash or whatever you did. lose that background color and give them diff instruments (more drastically different guitars and/or a diff instruemtn)

I don't like the rectangle that the distressing forms. I would absolutely love this if the purplish-gray were a little more free-form.

I don't really like the rectangular bg.

this design would work much better in a 16:9 sort of 'widescreen' format...lose the spongey stuff and reduce in size

i'm diggin the concept, though

I love your style and color choices here! And I think the background is really cool - it could be a bit less boxy, but it's not bad at all the way it is. Maybe if you put strings&other details on the guitars they would be more obviously guitars. (Keep the bright contrast color though - that's important.) 5555555

Actually, I take it back about putting strings on the guitars. Don't do it. It's totally obvious what they are. Everybody else is nuts!
