dont understand?
|
 |
Very clever
StickChick: What do you mean you don't understand, its pretty straight forward |
 |
ooh took me awhile to figure out
what the red things said the W is a little hard to read but i like the concept |
 |
Yeah, fix the W's, but awesome.
|
 |
fix the W, use some bolder colors.
|
 |
Very clever, like the colors, but the "W" is hard to understand. 5
|
 |
I like the subdued colors.
I tried to make the left 'word' easy to read, but allowed the other W's to be distorted with their movements |
 |
Clever :)
Me likes |
|
thanks
|
 |
it kinda looks like the "Words" are doing something really awful to the person. I don't know, maybe I'm perverted. But the positioning... uh... anyway! Just my opinion.
|
 |
Love it, except for the position of the back two words.
|
 |
lol at STICK CHICK not getting the STICKS and stones may break my bones rhyme. No offense, just laughing at the name.
|
 |
I didn't get it at first because here we say "NAMES will never hurt me." Go fig.
|
|
i can see how it would look bad if the words were straddeling the guy, but seriously... they're both standing to the side
|
 |
the w looks like a y, but good idea
|
|
i dont see why everybody wants the w's to be so explicit...since the w represents a head and two arms, any movement requires a distortion of the w
|
 |
Kookaberry on Jul 13 '07 Maybe if it was outlines of people filled with phrases like "you're ugly". I like illustrations of puns but this one just isn't working for me.
|
 |
Yeah the W's don't look like W's...
|
|
but you knew what they were anyway...?
|
|
i've seen the concept before, but this one pleases me. 5.
|
 |
fix the W's, its rad.
|
 |
words do hurt. someone called me an idiot today. ouch
|
|
its an original idea, but its poorly executed
|
 |
I think the "W"s needed to be fixed right from the critique stage, because it can be kind of hard to pick out the "words".
I really don't think the clarity is there. |
|
absolutly. i agree with terrilynnl. the w's are difficult to pick out, i actully thought they were j's..
|
|
my first thought was of major violation.
|
 |
nice idea! looks a little forced though.
|
 |
LOVE IT!! great job!!
|
 |
Don't do anything to the W's, you can figure it out with the other letters. (with the title, I wonder how anyone had trouble, but I think it's pretty clear without seeing the title as well)
|
 |
the w's are fine. at worst people will make out the "ords" and that narrows down your options.
|
 |
maybe try putting the middle upward line of the "w" at a point. i think the flatness of that part of the "w" is whats throwing people off. but i definitely dig that expressive type.
|
 |
At first glance I thought it was something really dodgy but it is a great idea.
|
 |
I think you should just keep it as it is. It'd be hard to improve on, but I do agree with whoever said that you should use brighter colors. It's a little hard to see on the gray of the shirt.
|
 |
great idea, leave the w's its hilarious to see all these people bitching about it even though they understand what they say
|
 |
Funny concept, but takes too much staring at it to understand.
|
|
Lol...but words will hurt forver.
|
|
extremely clever!
5 |
 |
Things need to be bit brighter I'd say But I love the desighn and concept
|
|
great concept, great design, great shirt
|
|
i like the colors, but i wouldnt have got it if i hadnt read the previous comments.
|
 |
I agree w/ Nathliea & others... those words are totally raping the dude.
|
|
oooo thats clever.
i like how the thing's bodies are shaped like WORDS. cool i like it. |
 |
I like the W's the way they are. The colours are perfect. I was able to read it right away. Besides I don't particularly want those of lesser intellect to understand the clothes I wear. I'm giving you a 5 (And this is the first design I've commented on)!!
|
|
wow
|
|
haha that is so disturbing... i want it
|
 |
decent idea, just need to re do the "word" ppl. hard to tell there tops are W's
|
|
very good idea, but it would be better if it was more clear that the guys attackers are "words"
|
 |
Yeah it's a shame that this worked out the way it did. It was executed very well, I just think that if the illustration was a bit more refined, and the "Words" people looked more like the word "words" and less like people, then this would be a definite win, but instead, It will be doomed forever. DOOOOOMED!
|
 |
awesome :D
|
 |
I think this is a little over-elaborate. The execution is too forced, and so the visual pun loses its impact.
The colours are too dark, and the "words" are a little too complex and not immediately recognisable. 2 |
|
i dont see how the 'words' can be anymore straight forward, its impossible to make them animated and immediately recognizable...thats why i put in the guy on the far left
i think it will be more clear on the actual t-shirt because now, the most legible 'word' is shoved over to the left, while he is just slightly off-center on the shirt |
|
i made some slight modifications, hope its not too late

 |
is it my computer or is that incredibly dark and hard to see?
|
 |
Though I did get it right away, I can easily see how it may be confusing to some. Perhaps if the "words" were a bit more vibrant.

This is kinda disturbing for a shirt design. Great execution, though.
|
 |
luv it!!
|

I don't think it's good as a tshirt design. Maybe as a Teen Help Hotline hand-out card, but I don't feel compelled to wear it. I also know the adage as "but names will never hurt me." And I agree that the attack looks a little more sinister. It's just in the way that the Words are holding the kid.
|
|
...are they not in standard attacker formation?
i guess i could have put the words 30 feet away from the guy trowing sticks and stones, not a very dynamic scene though |
 |
holy defensive batman!! everyone is just trying to say(a little more tackfully than i will) that it looks like the back word guy is raping the kid. More than one person has thought this, so maybe you should just move the back one forword or you could have the kid face up and less doggy position like.
|
|
sorry...i always get carried away with the sarcasm
maybe i'll resubmit this after fixing the problems everyone pointed out |
|
i know scoring's almost over, just wanted to get this out there
