About my design

by deadbeathero
Once upon a time, about three weeks ago…



Two mix-matched socks fell in love in a dryer. Once a week, and only once a week during the wash, they were able to be together. They would laugh, play, and dance for only one hour a week. And after the hour was up, they were matched up by their owner with their appropriate counterpart and were condemned into the drawer of distress until they were used and washed again.



Frustrated by the fact that they would never be folded together, they came up with a brilliant idea. Their plan was simple. During the next wash session, they would ditch the dark clothes party of the clothes dryer and run away to the great unknown. Guided only by their pure cotton hearts and love of adventure, they escaped, never to be seen again.

Thx for the comments. it was hard to find a shirt color that really would match the drawing and not conflit with it.



Also, what if the text was on the back small next to the socks holding hands?



You guys are the awesomest!

you can tell they are escaping without the text... if you HAD to have text, i think it would be better on the back

I don't think the text is needed at all. I like the design a lot. But, yellow is just not working for me. Any other light color would work better for this. ANY

great design.

I'd go with the lighter colors, light blue, then the "sage" or whatnot, then the light brown. The darkest color doesn't give enough contrast, IMO. Fun design, nice back detail. W/o text works well enough; words on the back might be okay. It might be funnier w/o words altogether; someone sees socks on the back of your shirt and wants to look at the front to see what it's about.

maggiebeck
maggiebeck on Mar 07 '07
i love this. on yellow or not. i like the text, but i do think that it should be on the back, but i think that the text and the socks holding hands should be on the lower back.

I love the design, and I wouldlove buy it, too. That is, if the shirt is a different colour. (I'd prefer to not have the text there,too, but not so much that I wouldn't buy it if it had text.)



Just please CHANGE the shirt colour to almost anything but yellow!

Ahhhhhhhh...it all makes sense now....

Great job, but I think the design speaks for itself, no need for redundant text. For the color how about lime? Just a thought. I would still buy it in yellow.
