About the design

For the Eagle vs. Shark comp....



It's true, finding love IS awkward... wouldn't it just be easier to say what you think, and be able to go right up to someone you fancy and say "Hey, I think you're nifty".



I thought so.

I don't really like the big spae between the H and the I.... :S

Mike4507

I think it would look good if you move all of "I think" to the right, so the 'I' won't be cut off and the letters will be put together better

Bramish

I'd like to see it bigger, but it's pretty easy on the eye nonetheless.

melh696

It's up! Thanks people - yep the type was designed to be awkward as well, with a simple message...

Hope you like it , and keep the comments coming, every one helps :)

katieroz

i think you're hefty fine.

donut1

I think its fantabulous!

d3d

hogboy

this is awesome.... great colours & retroness

sncfrk

ha that shark texture is pretty 80's, especially with the neon green accent. Cool though.

I find it most awkward that this is a slogan. The design itself doesn't seem awkward to me. I kind of wish you had made the entire Nifty message visual.

I hope this doesn't sound overly harsh, but the type is reading more as incorrect than as awkward. The space in think doesn't seem very intentional (if the "th" or the "ink" were raised or lowered, this would look much more like a decision than an accident). Ditto for the space between "y" and "ou're". Plus, the flourish style bar on the F needs to be either more elaborate or not used at all, because the curve seems wrong somehow. There's a similar issue for me on some of the outer curves, I feel like I can see corners that shouldn't be there (look right under the N to see what I mean).

(I'm not saying this is a bad shirt, by the way- it just seems unresolved to me.)

jstumpenhorst

very nice A!!! i look forward to the print!!

marvelous marvin

nifty is one of those words that isn't used nearly enough. thanks for reminding me to use it more often.

starr226

it definitely needs to be printed a little larger, if that time comes - otherwise, I think it's eclectic, nicely designed, fun and sweet - and good all around.

ladykat

I really like it! As others have mentioned though, the spacing is problematic - it doesn't come across as intentional (and I keep expecting to see a hidden message, but for the life of me can't find one - unless there's something about ink?).

But since that's an easy fix, and I can see past all that... I'll vote on the adorableness and wearability. So, when it's printed - just even out the spacing and make it larger. K? :-D

mezo

Oh yeah? Well I think YOU are the cat's meow. FACT!

plaid-duckie

Aw, this design is that cat's pajamas..hmm maybe threadless should print cats pajamas...very cute design $5

plaid-duckie

haha i meant the cat's pajamas =]

jakotw

The "I" (in "I Think") is a problem for me - it's really hard to tell that it's there. And without it, the slogan doesn't make much sense. lol

Noobits

looks pretty nifty on Ross....

PuterBoy

Cool. 5$

reciprocation, but in total and complete honesty, that I think you are beautiful"

Something like that, Natrix ;) xx

stingerstyler

nice! with all the different elements you managed to still make it into one smooth design. I agree with Bramish: bigger is better!

MeLa de Gypsie

I can just imagine a girl wearing this shirt... walking up to a guy from an obscure corner... tapping him on the shoulder, and when he turns out... shyly looks up at him through her eyelashes... and points at her shirt...

"I think you're pretty nifty.."

ZING!!!

radiostaticstar

oooh, this is very nifty indeed... 5$

wwillaa

5$

Frank Vice

the kerning between the Y and O in "you're" and the kerning between the H and I in "think" are making me cringe

with that said, i like the style :)

staffell

I think that's the point Frank, the kerning is supposed to be wonky.

fucking yes 5$

:)

ISABOA

good stuff

MrDomino

I love the unpleasant kerning, it's very deliberate, and it irritates the eye. I can imagine it being said in a crackly pubescent yelp. A great example of breaking the rules well. Nicely done, I like the dreamy colors as well.

littlem

i think it's swell! :P

harpo25

Nifty all the way!

skellig

nifty!
i'd wear this all the time.
5$.

corey9

very nice! love simple.

kayceislost

yeah, i agree with frank vice, the kerning is bothering me a bit, but its very cute :)

angelito
angelito profile pic Artist

hehe that is because we are design purists... trust me the kerning was deliberate, and something I had to force myself to do... but it was intentional to add to the awkwardness of it :)

DelicateBalance

very nice. i'd actually waer this. $4
