About my design

by Magpie_king
This design is based around the idea that time bends around gravity.

The way we percieve time is merely an illusion.

I had a few ideas given to me about this one and the general opinion was pretty divided, but personally I think the 3d version works best with the concept.

I also choose not to over complicate things as I really like the design itself.

Hopefully you will too

I like the design but is the skull necessary? Otherwise I'd buy it.

Cool. I was wondering when this was going to e approved.

Was taking forever.

I hope people like this one more than my other designs.

good t-shirt design, but reconsider your presentation—that font is awful. also the 3d thing isn't working, it just makes the image more lo-res looking.

The font isnt apart of it at all.. You really shouldnt be judging this on the presentation... This is my second ever proper sb so stop being so anal

Interesting concept that looks pretty good on the shirt- even the 3D glasses effect I usually hate looks cool here. I would tweak the skull a little, make it way more subtle by removing the 3D effect, that'd make a nice visual contrast. Also, try a soft faded out gradient to make it more like a real shadow. 3

I think your presentation is fine. I'm not a huge fan of the placement though. Maybe shift it down and to the left a little? Have the skull part wrap around? Then I think you could make the watch a little bit bigger.

Cool design. I say black shirt. Asphalt might be cool too, but floating in black accentuates the illusion.

I'm not really sure about this one. It's making me dizzy.

Magpie_king on Feb 07 '08
Its OK if it makes you dizzy

Magpie_king on Feb 07 '08
And I tried it on black and it looks well rubbish

Very wonderland-esque, I like it. I don't get why people are be quite so critical!

I appreciate the hard work and effort you put into this, but I'll be honest, I don't want to get a headache from looking at my T-shirt.

Eddi_U on Feb 07 '08
You know, I was cool with this shirt until I went back and read your own comments and your arrogant/snide attitude. Zero from me.

dude relax it seems like most people on here think this is an awesome idea but are just trying to help you make this more palatable to the threadless judges. there is something just a little off that makes this look like not quite a good SHIRT. i was wrong about the color: i think it's the placement/balance that needs tweaking. I like emem's idea of a wraparound. Or what if you bent the skull down so it was more vertical and elongated? anyway, good luck. if this were tweaked a little i would definitely buy.
Magpie_king
Magpie_king on Feb 07 '08
cool.

Idealy I would have liked to make the design bigger but nothing seemed to fit right. Maybe youre on with something with the wrap around idea..

Am I allowed to submit new versions later?

Magpie_king on Feb 07 '08

Don't be so defensive. You submitted it for a critique and that's what you are getting.
ghiti
ghiti on Feb 10 '08
Since you're going for an illusion theme, lose the 3D and use one of those black/white optic illusions for a background. 3D really isn't an illusion per se.



Also, the skull seems to have something to do with your life ending and death, not sure if that is what you were going for.

EarthaSkye- This isnt a critique. Its a sub.
Magpie_king
Magpie_king on Feb 10 '08
3d or an anaglyph is an optical illusion - Ghiti.

FACT.

And the acceptance of death in our lives has a lot to do with time.

I'm not missing any points here.. I meant my design to be this way..

It IS what I was going for.

I don mean to be so defensive, but the amount of time Ive heard that is getting silly..

I dont think your opinion matters around these parts.

Yes its a sub. And people are free to critique it, hence the word critique.

This design is O.K. but, frankly, you're not being very open to what the community has to say. The point is to receive feedback not take everything personally and get up in arms about your concept.
Magpie_king
Magpie_king on Feb 11 '08
Yeah but theyre idiots..

They cant tell me that maybe I'm missing my own point.

I knew what I was doing with this design.

Its not contructive.. Its fcking stupid
Magpie_king
Magpie_king on Feb 11 '08
And anyone with a brain on here can see that.

and the rest will give me a bad score
Magpie_king
Magpie_king on Feb 11 '08
Thereis no community here. Youre not really friends.

Youre all just sad and bitter little pricks
