Diggin' it.
But the idea of it being a camera is not obvious enough.
try out a more detailed or contrasted lens ...or pupil.
Its a bitchin' design and I hope it gets printed

Very nice. I just finished reading 1984 for the 3rd time, and I love the heck out of that book. I got the concept of it being a camera right away! $5

ManicAudioKinetics on Aug 02 '07
Excellent. $5 But, how about an ash gray shirt?
Mike_115
Mike_115 on Aug 02 '07
$5 but don't you think it should have 1984 printed on it? Or big brother is watching or something? I'm not sure the reference will be clear enough.
Mike_115
Mike_115 on Aug 02 '07
Ok, I see it now never mind, it's just really small. Now that I saw it I realize that's like the best place for it.
Yourhero
Yourhero on Aug 02 '07
I really love this, great job, I only wonder about the mechanisms, they look a little... jpgish
epocalypse
epocalypse on Aug 02 '07
thanks all. this is great to see people really liking the shirt.

what exactly do you mean by "Jpgish" yourhero?
epocalypse
epocalypse on Aug 02 '07
I think I'm leaving the fine tuning on placement to the fine folks at threadless, just to answer that frequently brought up point. for now, think of it as approximate, ie, the eye goes on the chest. cool?
Yourhero
Yourhero on Aug 02 '07
Sorry, I mean that they look sort of like images that were just color filtered, rather than original creations.
epocalypse
epocalypse on Aug 02 '07
oh, well to a degree your right then, infact, i started with several different photos for every aspect of this one, including the eye, but they have been more intensely altered than simply color filtered. I wanted to go for look between photos and stencils, something kind of like poster art, and I had to make further alterations to make the 5 color max work, as well as adding things like text to to the lens. in the end, the photos are nothing more than reference. peace

murgles on Aug 02 '07
OOOH pretty!! I would love it on another color though, white is sooo ... I dunno, plain and like a cheap printed tshirt you bought off the net *grin* Maybe a gray or something would look nicer.
epocalypse
epocalypse on Aug 02 '07
maybe on gray ^_^

thanks!
brownstar
brownstar on Aug 02 '07
This is phenomenal, but as said before, another shirt colour is needed to truly do the design justice. By gray, I assume you don't mean HEATHER GRAY... Dakota Slate might work.
brownstar
brownstar on Aug 02 '07
p.s. $5 assuming it's not on white.
epocalypse
epocalypse on Aug 02 '07
I made the design on white, but I really don't have a problem with it on aanother color as long as it still meets the five color mark. if it does happen to get printed, I wouldn't shoot down other colors for the shirt. ^_^

thanks!
Vannjenta
Vannjenta on Aug 03 '07
I not a fan of white shirts either, but if its the only option for this shirt i think I'll consider buying it anyway... but I'm sure grey would work as well :)

Fantastic! Innovative. I can see this design being used for film organizations =)
Maybe not on white though...
epocalypse

you know Madruga, I ask myself that same question. Infact, I often wish that threadless had more white tees

Stealthmonkey on Aug 07 '07
Incredible design, and really, keep it on white. It makes the design so much bolder. Adding to this, there really aren't enough white tees on threadless. 5$
epocalypse

my sentiments exactly Stealthmonkey. Thanks!

There's just something about the combination of white+black+red that looks great. I think the impact would not be the same on a different color shirt.

Chris Carney on Sep 06 '07
I like your design. I think you chose the the right version in the end. "1984" is a book I've read many times. If you have any thoughts on re-subing your design I would go alonge with them, I think your design could be even better than it is at the moment. That eye really does sums up "1984" and beyond
epocalypse
epocalypse on Sep 07 '07
thanks much for the posotive feedback, Chris Carney! I figure I wait this designs 90 day period out (officially 1/3 over now, for those counting) and see how it does. If it doesn't get printed, then I may well return to the design, if it does, I don't think I will, but all that is left to do now is wait. thanks again.

awesome. well i am hoping it gets printed. It would have been great if it had already been (if it does) by this weekend, because than I would have put the main character of my short film in it. I actually did dress him in another threadless shirt though FrequentCity definitely vote to get it reprinted.

And you prepare for some disqualified action. It didn't win the first time, it's not going to win again.

yourhero: I redesigned it. i've been keeping the design up in critique, and have changed it. a lot. this is version five. the version I am subbing is version 12.
Yourhero
Yourhero on Nov 27 '07
Regardless, Threadless discourages re-subs, even if it is a redesign. This is why you submit them for critiques first.

epocalypse on Dec 07 '07
i did do that, i did it for critiques for ever, anyways though, the redesign that was mot loved in the critiques has been resubbed and will be up soon. in the mean time, two new designs of mine are currently up and past the first day, so everyone, checkem out!
