About my design

''wear the secret map but, show it to no one!''

works great on banana or natural.

fABULOUSA! I like it on the banana (natural's okay too).

not a great fan of natural shirts, but the banana is really bad, it makes the image difficult to see.

I really like this on banana. The pictures remind me of a lot of different pirate type classic books and I like seeing them all together. But there's no X marks the spot anywhere. It's a good pirate shirt without looking totally cheesy. 5$

Hmm... A bit complex if you ask me. People who look at the shirt will have a hard time following it, much less understanding.

I really, really like this. The only thing that's a little weird for me it the volcano smoke.



Is there a larger version you could link to? I want to get a closer look at some of your detail work.

That's a really neat design! I like the grid lines in the background, nice touch. But I'm a little eluded as to how you'd walk to a ship? (nitpicking, sorry!)

This is awesome. A little pale, but I LOVE it.

I am addicted to maps and compasses, so I would snap this up in an instant. Aside from that, I love the detail and the fadedness. Gorgeous work.

foxdie, I think this fits the theme pretty well. A map is a tool for finding things. Navigating past these sea monsters and such could certainly be awkward. And the last icon on the map could represent love (hard to tell without a close up, but I'll give the designer the benefit of the doubt).

chelizz on Jun 04 '07
I like it...I think I'd love it even more on Natural than on Banana...One thing that I'd personally like to see improved is for it is look less like a straight-edged rectangle (does that make sense?). That bugs me with most designs that are really straight-edged, so this isn't the only one. I'd buy it, though.

I like the fact that one could classify this into 'another heart sub', but it's done very well. The heart is blatently obvious and I like the fact that it's the only red on the shirt. The only thing is, I keep buying threadless tees in light colours... but I'd still buy this anyways!
daftspike
daftspike on Jun 04 '07
Oooo! I like it! Of the two colors you've suggested, I'd go with banana. Otherwise a pale blue might work well.



Good job! :-)

i like it, but i think its a strech for the compitition, i get its about "finding love" but... i dont see anything else that relates to the movie (akwardness and such)
chelly
chelly on Jun 04 '07
it is a really great idea, but w/ the number of obstacles you have, it just looks like two rows of things w/ dotted lines going back and forth. you could probably lose a couple and still have a strong sub.
dirtymonk
dirtymonk on Jun 04 '07
I dont think that the shirt is to busy, however naturally those who speak/read english (msot of the the threadless audience) are inclined to start reading from the top left and work right-down, so I think you should flip the top and bottom.

steviec
steviec on Jun 04 '07
C'mon, this is great! No problem for "Finding love" - love is a treasure, you need a map to chart your way through life's difficulties, etc.



Love the colour! It's perfect for an old, faded, love-worn document!

5+$

You just need an X marks the spot, and you're set!

and there is a X under the chest. i think its pretty visibale right?

this looks really cool, but i cant see it very well, and i dont know if people walking by the shirt would be able to see it at all. bump up the contrast.

i'm usually not a fan of light colored shirts, but this design looks awesome on banana, gives it that old time worn and weathered parchment look.

stripthebarknow on Jun 05 '07
i had a very similar idea last week but didn't act on it. oh well, i lose for snoozing.

i was going to call mine "the way to my heart is through troubled waters". you might consider that.

that's a great idea!! i don't get how it's got anything to do with love being awkward. but pirate mapping is always awesome!

i love it! but different colors. i'm not a fan of yellow. brown would be sweet!.. but its a cool design.

mephitine on Jun 06 '07
Not a fan of yellow shirts, but I like the design. As someone mentioned previously, I'd change the volcano smoke outline, that was a little confusing, it took me a minute to figure out what was going on, and it stopped the flow of the design. Love your idea, though!

perhaps its the route that is awkward, and it will lead you to love?



there is definitely some kind of correlation...

I think it would be funny if the design was upside down, that way the wearer could "use" the map. Great design otherwise.
