About my design

by Seumas
This is my second submission to the Gmail contest, Corny i know, but still I decided mail call in the military. Keeping in touch with families on the otherside of the world. This is why i have the wrap around design soldier on the front then on the otherside of the shirt keeping conneced with the laptop cord to his home.



What i like about these colors is that theyre neutral which means in the long run, any color shirt will pretty much match.



The enlargment of the soldier sitting on the tree can be found here.

I actually like your concept a lot. Very sentimental. I like your concept for wrapping around the shirt like that. Unfortunately I do not like the actual execution of the shirt as it looks like they were just photos that were tinkered with in photoshop. If this were hand drawn, same colors and everything I would give this a 5. As is a 3 because I really do like the concept.

i was thinking about doing it over again cleaning up my shadowing and fixing the laptop because it does look to much like photo manipulation.

i like this but it would be a lot nicer if instead of going to a house

you had like a nice girl with a laptop

like his wife or girl friend

i would also like it a little better if the soldier's area wasnt so peaceful it might be better if he was in a more distraught situation.

I think the house is good, but I agree that he should be in a more dangerous-looking place.

makes sense, but also if the soldier is in a dngerous place how could he Email, i was going for the whole mail call feeling where it was the only time they could relax and sit back... but it would make sense if it was a warzone
