About my design

by winkypants

Onomatopoeia is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as "click," "buzz," or "bluuuh," or animal noises such as "oink", "quack", or "meow". You know it from old Batman comics where someone gets hit, but instead of seeing the impact, you see a bubble with the word "POW" or "BLAM" in it.

That's funny. I never would have thought of that.

RaveDave on Aug 22 '07

nice irony, but a tad boring to look at - I think a nice idea would be to have a scene like from batman with lots of sound explosions all saying completely non-onomatopoeic words.

I give you a 3 - "thwack"

RaveDave there knows what he's talking about. You'd do well to take his advice on this one. lol.

i would like to see the words more like the pow, with some shading or blocks.

Not on gray.

Illustration needs work, but awesome concept.

bballstar23 on Aug 22 '07

I agree with those above me.

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 22 '07

I think it would make more sense with a smaller POW!, BANG!, SMOOSH! and then a much bigger but not as big ONO...ETC! taking up most of the space. I love this idea and have many ono...etc. slogans myself. I hate the color tee its on tho...you want everything about this idea to jump out at you. Great idea tho. 3.

HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT~ i don't know why people want u to put pow, bang etc in it. the whole POINT is to have Onomatopeia - illustrated like it's onomatopeia itself!

bonus points for spelling it right. and i would like to see it NOT on grey, and maybe YEAH try playing with the animation

a superman-style blue would fit better than gray

MonoTony on Aug 23 '07

you didn't have to explain it, that's condescending. 5$

i agree with putting it on a navy-dark blue shirt, go for the nice comic-booky primary colors. but add nothing else, this shirt is solid.

melob1 on Aug 23 '07

I'd buy it if it wasn't on grey

word

It should definitely be on blue. Also, I think the red and white dots in the yellow are distracting, and that it would look better with just plain yellow.

Awesome idea.

meh. cute.

winkypants on Aug 23 '07

Thanks for all the feedback. It is one of my first designs, so I appreciate any help I can get. I will definitely change it to a blue shirt.

Yes to a comic-bright shirt color, and I say keep the "halftone" dots in the burst -- it accentuates the retro comic book look of it.

$5 for you, and if it gets printed, I'm getting one for myself and one for my kids to share!
