About my design

by Robsoul   
A brilliant novel by William Golding which I'm sure many of you are familiar with. There are three colorways: 1) Gold foil on white 2) Tropical colors on white 3) Tonal black lineart with cyan pop color on charcoal. The pig's head on the spike is a back shoulder hit. Presentation is an animated GIF, 25 sec between slides, or view a closeup via this link - http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5758/lotfallbw8.gif

awesome job!



25 seconds is perhaps a bit too much, but I waited to check out every colour combo. I prefer the blue on slate.

Mandyhello
Mandyhello on Jul 11 '07
wow, this is beautiful.. you should talk to Penguin about doing their next cover :D



I really like gold on natural..
Robsoul
   Robsoul on Jul 11 '07
Yeah, this is at the point where Piggy has been killed and the savage mentlity has overcome all the kids with Jack in full control. Piggy's glasses are laying shattered on the ground next to the conch and in front of the boys. As I recall, the conch should or was destroyed shortly after the death of Piggy, but I wanted to keep it intact as a visual piece, a little artistic liberity.

   Robsoul on Jul 11 '07

ImNoLo
ImNoLo on Jul 17 '07
I'm really bummed that non of the lord of the flies subs have had simon in them. Plus they all look too similar for my taste



and this lacks piggy, i know the glasses are his symbol, but i can't bring myself to enjoy this sub to it's full potential without piggy.



but great job!

elysian.fields
elysian.fields on Jul 17 '07
The conch shell and the glasses are on the ground. Maybe that means that Piggy is *ahem* no longer in the picture?



I don't think it needs all the characters. The fact that it's difficult to tell any of the "savages" apart was a major theme in the novel, and I feel that this shirt conveys that extremely well. I love it.



That said, when will we know when this is made into a shirt? I would definitely buy this. And I changed my mind about the colors. The second color scheme is my favorite. I might even have to buy some for my friends.



Also, I once had a LOFT-themed birthday party. I wish I had this shirt then!
Robsoul
   Robsoul on Jul 17 '07
Oh man that's great, do you have any photos of your party? If so, please post them in the BLOG regarding the LOTF, I'd love to see them.

I love the subtlety of the single colour one...I would totally wear that. But it's still a great design with the other colour choices, though.

ya_rly
ya_rly on Jul 17 '07
The gold is pretty good, and the blue gives it an eerie effect which i also like. For some reason...the one with the most colors really hits it off with me. Probably just personal preference, but i think its the most interesting to look at. Gold would probably be the best choice considering its a classic book though...Haha. The designs great no matter what you do with it. And the pig still freaks me out. $5
