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."



I was asked to resummit this design. I changed the color of the shirt (khaki & natural), Made the lines smoother, and moved the back design to the bottom. Hope you like it even more this time!



Give the image 5 seconds to change.

Thats awesome! I really like it! I dont know how well it works on a T shirt! But I like the little story a lot! Would work as a fun children's book about laundry :P

cute, but I think the little image should be on the front just cause that kind of placement on the back is a bit awkward.

i think that i like the placement on the back. bringing it to the front would throw off the whole story.. good job rob!!

I think I'd like the back image to be centered between the shoulderblades, but overall this is so very darling!!

The sock that's lower down, the one with the different colour heel and toe needs to look a bit more like a sock, it's got kind of a humanoid look to it at the moment. A man with a backpack.

I think this design would work on any color. I love the sketchiness of the image. Quite different from most sumissions I see here. Love it!!! $$$$$$$$$555555555

I think that the sketchy-ness of the design makes it look messy, but it's a very cute idea. I would rework it.

I still find your color choices depressing, but the idea is great.

I love the idea but it would have worked better in a smoother style. Love the back detail. 4

The design is way too sketchy. It's just not clear that it's underwear climbing out. I like the idea A LOT, but it needs work.

i love this, i would buy it as is. but i think there's too much detail on the front. more focus on the lovverrz. like i said i LOVE it but it doesnt look like what "threadless" tend to print .. sadly . i would buy it as is anyway



the text on the back works in my opinion, i dont know if i've ever commented on text actually working but it does here. lovelvoelovelove PRINT

i love the back design, so if you could make the front a little more simple like the back it would great. but it's still an amazing design!!! =)

I also wondered why there was a little man sliding down the cloth rope with a sock.
ningsta
ningsta on May 23 '07
love the idea!

i agree that the socks on the front need to look less human

it could be because u cant see the top of the socks?

Big improvement since last time! (The subtle title in the shadows, for instance.) Super cute! $4 (only because it could be improved slightly, i.e. if the shadow was darker). I love!
