About my design

by zipperking   
Anyone who has ever sat through a color theory class can feel my pain

I love the illustrations but not the font...in fact, I think it would work pretty well without the words at all.

I agree. The words "Color Theory" aren't really needed.



Cute idea.

I love the idea - very funny. It might have more impact if you made the yellow more masculine and the red more feminine...just a little or it could be overblown.

kind of reminds me of You've Got Some 'Splaining To Do



But I still think it's cute.

I don't understand color theory, but I must say I love red's face.

It took me a while too. Blue seems most macho.

Although, color theory isn't that bad...

thank you for all the comments, as far as the text goes, it doesn't HAVE to be there, but I chose the font to be very plain and "institutional" for a reason.

Can we please not have the text!



I haven't bought the 'I Heart Color' T for the same reason. It's spelled differently over here in England. I don't want a thousand people coming up to me telling me my T-shirt is wrong.



Sorry to be pedantic, but I love the design, and I think it works just as well without the text.

without the text, it would look like a mastercar on the wall

it will take a little longer for people to understand it....

its better if people can get it in the few seconds they walk by you.

the baby looks kind of triumphant lol... and i'd go without the goatee on blue, it looks like he's screaming really weirdly at first glance.

this is the same thing as 'you've got some 'splaining to do' only with colors. and personally i think that the milk is funnier.

lose the teeth on the colour blobs, change the font (dry erase writing?) and it's a $5

blue's been working out!
insolity
insolity on May 11 '07
wow. it took me a long time to get it really. I didn't get that purple was a baby because it was the same size as the blue one in the bubble. i do like the idea though
hespestos
hespestos on May 11 '07
I don't know if the blue fellow is even necessary, particularly in light of the confusion with the purple baby being the same size and all. The design definitely still works without it- but then it would be VERY much like "You've got some 'splaning to do. I like the text.

FUNNY! Don't know about the text, maybe a little work along lines of above comments -- perhaps change the parent's colors to blue and red and baby is orange and "other guy" is yellow (if you follow me) so the color theory box doesn't look like mastercard logo, which is what I saw at first glance.

Does anyone else see a Mastercard? Funny.. :)

There are already 2 Threadless tees with this theme.

I got it, but i had to look at it for a while.

Total rip off of the greenheads....If you haven't seen 'em...Then it is a cool design.
timadd
timadd on May 13 '07
To avoid the whole mastercard fiasco, you could just reverse it: orange baby, yellow dad in the thought bubble, blue and red on the wall. etc.

already sort of done on this site with the milk bottles, and that one was a bit better, although this is pretty good

This is the Mastercard Logo... some hidden advertisement? Use other colors and I like it..

scarlet_woman on May 14 '07
This reminds me of 'You've got some splaining to do' and 'downsides of genetic engineering'...but that's just my opinion.

thanks for all the comments, I do realize the subject has been done before, but I still decided to post this sub to hopefully give people a little smile for the day, that's all I don't really expect threadless to print another infidelity shirt.

senormysterioso on May 14 '07
I must buy this as a gift for my color theory prof
JesterXXV
JesterXXV on May 14 '07
the words distracted me from the infidelity thing. i thought it was some esoteric color theory joke. everybody knows yellow+red = orange, but they might not know what "color theory" is.

I live in England, so I'd just get tons of people pointing out the spelling mistake on my tee.



*Sigh*

Do like the design though.
