About my design

You should have kept the guns sizes in proportion with eachother, the tiny p-90 looks silly.

yeah, i struggled with sizing, especially on the p90. but i can't give up a way oversized m93! something about it makes me chuckle. btw, dig that 'rioting against stereotypes' piece.

I agree with namE. about keeping

the guns in proportion with each other.

What is with you Americans and guns ? It's almost a sexual experience for you guys isn't it ?

I'd buy one!

Spam69 ... yeah, they love guns as much as I hate guns!

A shirt like this can only get a 0 score from me ... and that's because negative values are not available!

Make love, not war!

please don't generalize be saying "you Americans." i am both an American and anti-guns. i can also appreciate this as a good design, although the subject matter is not to my taste.

Aww.. poor baby FN P90...



hehe... I just took like three minutes trying to name all of the guns

hey, anti-gun people!!!



wait wait.

this shirt is not pro-guns.

it has nothing to do with guns.

the concept of "weapon of choice" is the only silhouetted item with a hint of color- the SPRAY CAN. hm. if this subtlety is too subtle then i might have to rethink the design. thanks for the comments.

People really do hate us don't they?

Americans that is.



*sigh*



Can't say I blame you all the time...but come on. Cut us some slack. We're not all violent, immature dolts.

jroman: I know that ... but the fact is ... a big percentage of Americans are obsessed with guns ...

Just 4 comments above your own ... MadTacularGamingInc says:

"hehe... I just took like three minutes trying to name all of the guns"



Well ... I can't even name a single one and I'm glad I can't!

If you know the names of the guns just by the silhouettes, chances are that you love guns.

Guns are something that simply should be banished from Earth!

to you stupid europeans:



learn to read subtlety, idiots. much as i love europe (don't misinterpret "stupid europeans" - most europeans are smart, but as you tools just proved, some are dumber than your average american), you asshats are guilty of the following:



1. abuse of stereotypes

2. bigotry

3. missing the fucking point





hey mitrado - before you talk about giving this a negative score, also consider that (if we're going to be egalitarian with our scoring) your IQ might also be in the negatives. your pitiful attempt to defend yourself entirely ignored the fact that you insulted a fine man's piece of art.



and your oversimplification of the issue gives gun control advocates a bad name. i'm all for better regulation of firearms, but it's foolish to declare that we should "simply" get rid of guns - good plan, asshole. now comes the hard part: figure out a "simple" way to do it. it's okay if you can't do it - there's only so much you can expect from a person who can't tell what an ak-47 looks like (have you ever even read/seen/listened to/heard of the news?)

anybody mind keeping the commentary about the design? i'm glad it sparked some conversation, but i think a lot of people are missing the point. thank you to all who did catch the original concept of "Weapon of Choice" and thank you to those who support GOOD DESIGN. as for the gun issue, there are plenty of forums for everyone to get in their fair share, and i'd love to join. but for the most part, i just want to put out a cool looking t-shirt.

don't like the colours on the spray can. should have kept in all black. maybe some blood? red black and white would look good for this. the whole design should be bigger, say 15%? cool idea though.
mitrado
mitrado on Sep 25 '07
Omen: have I "insulted a fine man's piece of art"?



Then, please, tell me why!

I just said I gave it a zero.

I didn't insult it! I merely said that I didn't like it!



If disliking something is a crime...

Then yes, I'm guilty!

the print should be larger--take up more of the shirt...but definitely 5$!

I think it's a quality design, but i have no idea what the hell a P90 is, so that may help!
HeavensShadow
HeavensShadow on Sep 26 '07
I like the spraycan idea, it's the first thing that popped out to me.



p.s. I myself have done some target practice with rifles, but that doesn't mean I love guns. I'm against war, but it is nice to know I can defend myself if the need arises. Common sense??



Anyway, yeah, nice design, the primary colors pop. Thought about using a black shirt with white silhouettes?

You've forgotten the most important one of all!



You've forgotten God's weapon of choice, the holy hand-grenade!

p.s. Glock bigger than a p90? I suppose if they're all out of proportion it doesn't matter quite so much, but still.

Mitrado: "A shirt like this can only get a 0 score from me ... and that's because negative values are not available!"



I consider that shit an insult. I'd be fine with it, if it weren't for all the wrong reasons - according to you, your main problem with the shirt is mitrado's choice of symbols. and I think that's a bad reason to give a low score, considering a the gun's one of the most potent symbols around.
mitrado
mitrado on Sep 27 '07
Omen: Is that an insult???

Since when disliking something is an insult?



Omen: "according to you, your main problem with the shirt is mitrado's choice of symbols."

So I don't like my own choice of symbols?

Have you even read your own words before posting this comment?



Omen: "and I think that's a bad reason to give a low score"

Well, that's my reason, not yours!

Must I adapt my voting to your tastes from now on?

I said I don't like it and you can't force me changing my tastes, Omen!

We are all individual and each of us has different tastes.

That's just life! So grow up and learn to deal with it!



Omen: "considering a the gun's one of the most potent symbols around."

So that's why I must like this design and rate it with a nice score even though I completely dislike it and would never feel comfortable wearing a shirt with that design!



What's the logic of that, dude?

crafty minx on Sep 27 '07
i don't think the proportion is that big a problem. (that might have something to do with the fact that i have no idea what the sizes of these guns should be!). having said that, maybe the spray can could be a little bit bigger? i like the idea. it was inevitable that people were going to bring up the americans and guns topic. oh well.
treehuggerky
treehuggerky on Sep 27 '07
yeah, I love it. though some people don't seem to be getting it through their heads that this is ANTI-guns, not promoting them. very much a 5$ from me.
aprilly

I'm giving this a 5 because I think it has a good message and it's a good design and you don't deserve all the flack you're getting.

That is sweet, I really hope that I can buy it soon. $5, and I totally agree with the use of Spraypaint as a weapon (not physically.)

it's a great design, funny that people are going off on such tangents. i think the spray can message is pretty obvious, myself. looks awesome against the pale blue. $5
horizontal vertigo
horizontal vertigo on Sep 28 '07
got it straight away. they're all just lookin for a chance to have a go at some one. full body print all along the front would be cool. more defining on the can, i think its a really good shirt with a good message, the pen is mightier than the sword!

p.s. a full blast of paint from a spray can in the face can be really nasty.

nododgy on Sep 29 '07
Love the design, it makes me think of Banksy. Not that it's so similar to his work or anything, he was just the first thing that popped into my head.



To the "Americans and their guns" crowd. Way to generalize. Honestly, just pure genious. I love lumping an entire nation in with an ideal. You're brillaint, really.
nododgy
nododgy on Sep 29 '07
Divisonline, I meant to add something. Don't rethink your design simply because a few can't grasp it. I don't think the proportion matters all that much in this, although those are at least valid complaints. It's a great design, don't think about changing it just because it's over some people's heads. To those of us who actually get it, it's pure gold my friend.
Persikov
Persikov on Sep 29 '07
Design is great and the message is obvious - better to protest with graffiti than with an armed rebellion. But, when you are wearing this on the street it will just look like a lot of guns. The spray can needs to be bigger, or more colorful, or centered - something to make the point of the shirt more obvious at a glance. Otherwise people passing you on the street will think you are a gun-worshipper.
mitrado
mitrado on Sep 29 '07
Persikov has said it all!



I'm not against the design or the designer ... so please don't misunderstand me ... or twist my words.



Omen seemed to believe I had insulted the design and that's simply not true and that's why I feel the need to explain myself further.



All I've said was that this design doesn't appeal to me because of all the guns present in it ... I simply don't like it and wouldn't wear it.

I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a shirt full of weapons, no matter what the message is.

nododgy: as you say... it's pure gold ... but that doesn't change the fact that I don't like it!



People have different tastes ... every single human being has the right to like or dislike anything and that's precisely what makes this world fun and interesting.

If all of us had exactly the same tastes, this life would be incredibly dull.



So, Omen, I'm sorry if the fact of me disliking this design bothered you so much, but you can't possibly force me into liking it.

Tastes are just that: personal tastes.

So I'll stick to mine, if that's alright with you.

i really love it, the sharpness of the weapons contrasted against the colour of the tee looks outstanding: ]
Ornen
Ornen on Oct 01 '07
Everyone's got a right to their opinion. My problem is you missed the fucking point, then proceeded to reject the design. Don't act like you simply disliked it because of 'different tastes' or some bullshit like that. No - you simply failed to grasp it.



And ignorance, my friend, is a bad reason to dislike something.
mitrado
mitrado on Oct 01 '07
Do you really think you know what's going in my mind better than myself?



I think not... and seeing that you insist on doing it... I won't bother discussing you any longer ...
