Well, this is an awesome image. The half-tone gradient is sweet enough on its own merit, but this rocks.

great style ! but we say "un cliché" not "une cliché" in french ;)

jacobcarrollingalls on Dec 06 '07
Well, the point was that it was actually not a pipe, but an image of a pipe. An image of a cliche is still a cliche.



But I still love it.

I think you used the wrong accent in 'cliché'.

anyone who does a tribute to magritte and comments on every hipster wearing a shirt of che deserves to get printed. not to mention the outcome of this print if done correctly would be rad-ass.

ten! oh wait, not dancing with the stars.

i'd buy it!
CatherineB
CatherineB on Dec 07 '07
I would like to confirm that it's not "Clichê" but "cliché". Also, this word is masculine, so you should write "ceci n'est pas UN cliché" instead of "ceci n'est pas UNE cliché".



Voilà! :)

CatherineB stole my comment, but yeah. Anyway, the halftone gradient in the bright colours really suits this illustration. Wonderful font too, as type tends to kill a lot of good designs. I like it.

Luckily, these are all things that are easily fixed once this is chosen for printing. *crosses fingers*

thanks!
iDanSimpson
iDanSimpson on Dec 07 '07
The text still needed to be spaced better before... now it's worse. It's nowhere near the center (vertically) of your banner and the space in between "Un"/"Une" and "Cliché" still needs to be fixed (too big of a space). Clean that up and you will win life.

i do understand that Che is a polemic icon

but is good to be polemic sometimes :p

this is an amazing idea and i love the colors and the pun and everything. i hate all the cliche shirts (i know i'm missing the accent.) i would wear this once the accent is fixed and the gender of the noun is corrected.

yo, funny talker, how does this translate.

seems pretty straight forward.
gouldnash
gouldnash on Dec 12 '07
i love magritte, and the idea that a Che shirt is played out.



However, a there is no metaphor at play here, so the word cliche doesn't apply. maybe "passe" would be more appropriate.



Plus, it would be cooler and more magritte to have something in front of Che's face.
