About my design

by Jebs   
hope you 'll like it, i know people usually don't like text, so here, it's in option, but i thought that it was interesting to keep it for the concept ;-)

looks really good! and I'm a smoker...
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 22 '07
thanks! i am a smoker too ;-) it's not a design criticizing the smokers, but just a matter of fact

Great design, well illustrated, so I give you 4. The only prob for me and probably a few other people is wanting to stay clear of social politics. It would make a great add for an anti-smoking ad. Love the smoke detail.

I'm a smoker. I'd totally wear this. While Smoking. $5

oh but I would prefer it on Slate Grey instead of black.

5!!

   Jebs on Feb 22 '07
i understand you about the social and political context, that's also why i used the grim reaper, as a symbol, which is a fantasy symbol, trying not to be too hard to wear ;-)

Good call. :)

A scythe is a weapon on mass destruction?

Not a bad start, but it would have made more sense, had the other end of the cigarette actually been a WMD. Like the end of a canister of VX, sarin etc.

Or if it were a HUGE cigarette and the falling ash had (or was in the form of) WMDs, other carcinogens, skull&cross-bones etc.
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 22 '07
it's the symbol of the weapon of " the death", the grim reaper, who steal the life and soul of the human beings, that' s why i choosed it, instead of something more concrete, i think ;-)

Great concept, jebs. And fantabulous art! The lines are so clean and crisp. Good font choice, as well.

I prefer sans text... think the image conveys the intent well enough on its own. Nice work.
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 22 '07
thanks you two! as i said, the text is in option, i know it's usually not necessary to put a text on a tee, but this time, i think it works, as you can read it differently, and it add a sense in this concept ;-)
grypesagon
grypesagon on Feb 22 '07
the reapers scythe totally counts as a WMD. it kills EVERYTHING. No discrimination. No allowances. Respect the scythe!



... I need a smoke... and I'm out of coffee.... bbl

Too preachy. Nice design, though.

I absolutely love the design- how does it relate to science tho? I'm still giving it 5$ I want the shirt.
Polymath
Polymath on Feb 22 '07
I'm so bored of smoking "commentary", but this design has such a Magritte-like appeal! Especially on that dark grey. I highly suggest a more Magritte-like font for the text, it'd be worth springing $20 for a more sophisticated font.
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 22 '07
i am pleased by your comment, really! because, i certainly thought of Magritte when i chosed to make this representation, even if the text is not written like "this is not an apple" or "a pipe", of course, i just did it for fun, but your comment touched me ;-)

Prefer it without the text. I like it when images leave it to the imagination.

Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 23 '07
eheh, it's a detail i tought interesting to add in the design, to stay in the abstract domain ;-)
grofat
grofat on Feb 23 '07
kinda stylish.. like it..

but i think the bigger display on the shirt is better..
Rogerschaerer
Rogerschaerer on Feb 23 '07

i think the message is clear without the text. but its one of the few times that text on the shirt doesn't bother me.

Great one. I love the use of the scythe to illustrate death. Would prefer it without the text (Yes I know you ment it to be alternative, just saying).

The Winged Self on Feb 24 '07
nice. I like it.



no text, pls.
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 25 '07
thanks for the learning, i know now the meaning of the word in english "scythe" (in french: "faux") :-) and for the text, people decide, even if i prefer with it...

   Ste7en on Feb 25 '07
simple and well done...great work...and whoever calls the fact that smoking kills "political" is an idiot
Jebs
   Jebs on Feb 25 '07
? what are you saying? i NEVER steal ideas, because, i don't understand what excitment could it brings to me, to do that...just look at my galery first, i hate when people yield about stealing when it's simply a nonsense...

so simple and the placement is great. I'm not a big shirt with a message kind of guy, but I'd actually consider wearing this one.

I like it without the text. I think it gets the point across and, if someone didn't understand, then I'd just have to blow the smoke from my cig in their face.

one day, i will definitively give up with words on designs, i'll promise :-D

If you pick just the cigarette or just the sickle, it would be more effective. As is, 4.
Whitepwrangr
Whitepwrangr on Mar 01 '07
ok.. so i was thinking about this.. and what if the smoke was coming from the other end.. and the smoke formed the blade..



just a thought.

This shirt should soooo be marketed to like an anti-tobacco campaign! Love how the cigarette and the reaper are merged into one!
