About my design

by Funnel
I like to think that all my popped balloons still go up.

love the idea, design's a little too plain though.

Great idea. I agree with moonizia though, I think the explosion lets it down a little, perhaps if you had ribbons of the balloon shooting away instead of the broken eggshell effect.

or maybe even some kind of explosion effect like comic book style or something like that, the eggshell thing just isnt really working

I absolutely LOVE this concept! I also agree with the others though that the broken baloon doesn't work as it could. I had to look twice to see what was happening and think that the explosion looks too static

I see what you're saying. I don't have much experience with what a popping balloon looks like because I'm always trying to look the other way. I may have to experiment with balloons and blast shields if I were to do another version.

I think you've got to take one for the team and watch a popping balloon. It won't be that tough, I'm sure you can find some high-speed photog video of it on the 'net. It would make this shirt much better.



Which would be a good thing, because it is already close to being extremely awesome. It just needs more love.

Don't need to watch any balloons popping, just go here!

very amusing idea... clean it up some and i'll give it a 5 ... 3 now just for a great original thought

I definitely like the idea, maybe instead of a popping ballon you could have the sillouette of a young kid holding a drooping string with a bit of rubber at the end?

offset the alignment a little to give it a more unique feel. 4 - very clever and unique

I like Jmanamj's idea, this is a great starting concept, just needs to be reworked a little. Maybe try critiques next time? :]
