About my design

by Jebs   
Hi, sometimes, i look at my first illustrations for Threadless (one year ago) and i think that the concept was strong, but not the execution. Here, i wanted to give this idea a new life, for the same reason. My inspiration what at the time a song of the Stereophonics "Thousand Trees". I hope you'll like it, i wanted to do something very simple and expressive this time to let the concept his full strength.

Nice. Usually dividing a design into panels is kind of intellectually lazy, but here is is the perfect solution. Your fire illustration is especially strong, good work!

I thought you were taking this off of somebody else since i remebered this tee design quite well, but stealing off yourself isn't illegal (yet). Fantastic concept the last time, and i also like the way you went about this this time as well...so a 5$ to you all over again! Maybe a TAD bit bigger?

   Jebs on Jun 09 '07
Thanks everybody!!!! Frickinawesome, eheheh, thanks for the memory, don't worry, i never steal ideas, because, what would be the pleasure? for the TAD bigger, i agree with you.



mjoo, thanks for comments, i'm happy to read you after the discussion we have on my last design ;-)

This design is much cleaner than your original - I really like the changes you've made. Particularly the way the trees and part of the match-flame come out the top of the boxes. Very nice!

which is the original? you have so many I couldn't find it in the thumbnails. I promise to judge this on its merits alone. I just like to see how things evolve.

If anyone's interested in seeing the original, it's right here.



Anyways, after hunting that one down, this one is still wonderful to me. I love both of them, but this is fantastic. Love it.

Great, well-thought design. Designs like this, in all simplicity and 4 colors, keeps me coming back to threadless. Thank you. $5

1 tree makes 1,000,000 matches.

1 match burns down 1,000,000 trees.



amazing.

$5.

Great concept. It's well drawn (far better looking than your original) and clearly conveys its message.



My only issue is the arrow for the second panel to the third... I agree there should be a connection between them, but 1000000 matches don't turn into a single flaming match.

Honestly though, it's so good that even unchanged i $5 it.

Thanks everybody!!!!



glazedkoala, the arrow from the second panel to the third is interpreted like that: from those 1000000, you just need a single (flaming) match to burn down 1000000 trees, so this arrow is perhaps not necessary, but still logical ;-)

Jebs you are freaking great, your submissions are priceless, and your comments on other submissions are informed, intelligent and always right on the money. Keep up the good work, you are a true asset to the Threadless community - thank you!

I think this is a really good example of a successful resubmission. Jebs waited a year before resubbing and made some structural changes (ie. not just a different colour/placement) that have improved the design.



Top job!

Thanks!!!!!

thatcrazywyles, you just wrote one of the most touching comments i've ever read on threadless concerning me and my designs...thank you so much for those kind words.



steviec, thank you, in fact, if i resubmit, that is because i really think it worths it ;-)

I really like - though I almost feel like the first match portrayed has already been lit cause of the black tip, if you could use one more color and make it red (I only counted that you had used 4, so...)

It's still a little difficult to understand, maybe if the first two were on the front then the second two on the back?

wasn't it 1000?
Jebs
   Jebs on Jun 14 '07
thanks!



staffell, yes it was 1 thousand, but it's not a good number, far from the truth, 1 million is IMO much significant ;-)
Jebs
   Jebs on Jun 14 '07
chellefish, the concept of 2 in the front, and two in the back is REALLY good! i should have thought of this earlier...

as an old-school stereophonics fan, i wish you'd kept the 1,000 idea. by trying to change it it looks like you made it up yourself, which you didn't. i like it though.

this is probably completely a coincidence, but i saw something quite similar to this in a magazine i had as a kid. "highlights" or something similar to that, i believe. all i remember (after seeing this one) was it was a design drawn by a little boy, with this exact concept. as i said, i'm sure it's a complete coincidence. and still a good concept either way. :)

   Jebs on Jun 16 '07
pure coincidence of course ;-)
