About my design

by Kannaya
I wanted to make up something ridiculous and have fun with it. This is what I came up with. A sea creature making records. Hope you guys like it!

You really can't tell that they're records. At first glance I thought they were just weird bubbles.

How inventive! I like this alot. I'd also like to see this in some different colors, though, if possible? :) Nice job!

I actually like how the records look like bubbles at first glance. What about trying the shirt on a different color? Maybe light blue?

ohhhhh, they're records, I thought they were bubbles that looked like eyes. I was going to comment on that, but I get it now. Maybe reverse the colours on the records so the dark is on the outer circles.

They're meant to be bubbles BECOMING records, that's why they look more and more like a record as they go up.



Nice work!

Thanks for the nice comments. And yes Edward you are right about the bubbles slowly becoming records :)

yes, there are quite a lot of sea horse shirts lately, did I start a trend? Anyway, this is cute, I agree you need to do something to make them look more like records tho.

I think i would like it better if it was just the sea creature and no bubbles 4

Aw...this is so cute! I love the design and the colors. If i could change one thing, it would be to make the bubbles look more like records somehow. Not quite sure how though. 5$.

I love this. I like the colours, I like the shirt colour AND I like the bubbles and the fact they look like bubbles at the bottom and records at the top. I don't know how you would make them look anymore like records short of making them black and white and that would ruin it.

it needs to be more obvious that they're records... I didn't get it at first

LOVE the concept tho

$5!!! This shirt is Omazing! Love the premise of the design and I feel that it works super well as a shirt. More color options would be cool though...maybe black or yellow clothing. I also like how the mp3 player is not necessarily an iPod...because we all know that a vinyl-birthing Seahorse like that is just too cool for Apple.

I really don't know how to make them look more like records. They will if the shirt is made because then the images will be bigger. I don't want them to be the color of records though because that is boring. And the shirt color can always be changed but I like the subtleness of the gray.

I really like this shirt in gray. 5$!!!

Maybe if you used music notes somehow, it would be more clear that they are records?
Kannaya
Kannaya on Jun 27 '07
Yes chocofrog I think that is a good idea!

gado on Jun 28 '07
would buy it as it is. would NOT buy it with added musical notes or, well, things added only to clarify that it is a record in the upper corner. it's not worth ruining the design idea for.

Adding musical notes will detract from the intent of the design I think. You might instead chose to use a different color on the final record label which would differentiate it as the final product of the process. Other then that this is a great design that deserves to be printed. $4
Kannaya
Kannaya on Jun 28 '07
Yes I was actually thinking about using maybe a dark gray for the last record because then it would be clear but I think a black would be too much of a difference from the rest. Yes maybe musical notes would be distracting.

i think just by making the center of the records different colors and keeping the blue color as its base make it muck more simple to understand
SenselessFrantic
SenselessFrantic on Jun 28 '07
and actually i think making them music notes would make the tee too stereotype in a way... like its been done before, i really like the design and thought of it just adding colors to the centers of the records would make it pop alot more... 4$

I think there is too much going on - the record morf is distracting and too regular - I love the tentacles, though... as cliche as they are becoming I can't escape their suckery grasp. Less detail on the MP3 player and headset, maybe.

It's perfect! Don't change anything.

i love the design as-is. i totally got the records (especially since headphones) and i like the monochromatic stylin'. if anything, i would just change the shirt colour to something brighter and less used. (i am getting tired of grey/natural/cream/heather/silver/any other really neutral colour that most of the shirts are being printed on.) if i printed the shirt out for me, i would probably go bright pink or a contrasting bright orange....if i were a normal person, though, i would say something not quite as bright...hahaha. okay, maybe azaela, or one of the purples or orange poppy. the orange would make it really stand out.

that's just my opinion, though. other than that, $5.

I like this a lot. It actually makes sense that you can only really see the last record fully, the first ones are supposed to be in the process of becoming the record. Hence the title...



As for the shirt color, if this IS printed, im pretty sure threadless decides in the long run

I think if the last one looked more like the stereotypical vinyl record it would of gotten a higher score. Maybe if it was darker or some such.
