About my design
by erik.w
This is what Thomas Edison said about genius. He should know, he invented the lightbulb.

I know this idea where a lot of things are the same and one thing is different is over done, but I really like the idea of this. Good Job

Great concept -- you nailed the theme!

Love the execution. Good job!

compositionally, the lightbulb at the very end doesn't look good to me. i think this would work best if it was hidden among the drops, not too close to the center, and not too near the edges.

excellent idea and execution.

i agree about maybe moving the bulb to a more central position, but i'm good with it at the end, too.

I agree with cityauctor and ginetteginette about the placement, but still a great design all-around!

I agree with ginetteginette, this would be much more awesome if the bulb was near the top right mixed in a reckon.

Other than that, good idea.

I disagree with the placement complaint. It's pretty brilliant the way it is. The light bulb serves as a sort of period to the whole thought.

This is a really clever take on the theme. I like how the idea works with such simplicity. Monkey III is right, you really nailed the design. $5 for me :)

I like this, its very simple, maybe the title should have been reversed (99% perspiration before the 1% inspiration)

Splendid, and definitely the shirt that combines the concept behind the magazine/competition, high design, and a t-shirt that I'd actually wear. Brilliantly done Erik W.

at first glance it looks like a bunch of rain drops and really boring. can you make the light bulb more prominent? like not at the bottom where it'd be all wrinkled up.

Ditto on hiding the lightbulb. Otherwise good idea.
FRICKINAWESOME
FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 12 '08
Clever idea, but maybe sell it a bit more with a small 1 percent next to the lightbulb and a 99 percent next to the perspiration just to clear things up a bit more but not give it away? I also agree it should be reversed. Really nice idea tho!
PyroPaper

This is simple but I really like it. I think the bulb should stay put, since that seems to be part of the message.

well, Thomas Edison is a douche

because of the repetitive raindrop thing, it really reminds me of "A Cloud of Choices."

a better layout would have helped this a bit more, such as staggered lines instead of uniform all the way down. Great concept though, and perfect for the competition.
