About my design

by dudmatic   
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.



This shirt has bright green numbers on a royal blue shirt. turn off the lights, and glow-in-the-dark ink reveals the secret of 42.

whats nice about this shirt is that you can be a jackie robinson, or mariano rivera fan by day, and a douglas adams geek by night. $4

i almost gave this a 0 till i saw it change to glow in the dark, very cool idea but there aren't many situations where my tshirt could glow and i don't think it's interesting enough by itself. 4

I'd like it better if the design was just the glowing part and it didnt' glow. Nice typography

The fact that it's slightly off-center is a little weird.

Is the glow-in-the-dark ink really totally invisible in the light? Or is there still going to be a slight difference in reflectiveness or consistency? I can't help but imagine you'll still kind of see the letters in the number when printed...

you can still kind of see the glow in the dark ink.



it's more translucent than transparent.

I agree with jpeacockdesign. You could use two not-so-different colors?

I physically mentally have to vote for H2G2 refs.

Needs work but good taste.

TOTALLY would be better with Sunshine's idea of just having the 42 be the glowing part, which could still glow when it get's dark out. I didn't like the original 42 as it was pretty generic and not just not well designed unlike the glow in the dark part, and that solves the problem!

I'd actually drop the glowing altogether and just leave the 42. 'Nuff said. HGTTG refs are always good...

I love it but I too think it could use more than just glow ink for maximum effectiveness. Still an awesome idea.

You've came a long way from the green skull I'll give it a 4
oateo

I'd like this better if the words were there normally, not as glow in the dark. As it is, I give a 4.
shadyconcepts
shadyconcepts on Feb 18 '08
meh. i agree with oateo. if the words were there to be seen in the light, it would make more of an impact amongst us nerds. +fourmoneys, maybe.
r4indown
r4indown on Feb 18 '08
dear God. when I first saw it without the glow, all I could think of what 'what A-loser'.

I'd love it if the words were seen day or night. cool idea.

h2g2 ref. rocks.

OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





i saw the 42 at first and was like "psh, thats lame, this gets a 0 and i was so irritated



and then it switched and it was glorious. and everyone gaped in awe.

Yeah, fantastic use of glow. Never seen it used where it's actually clever. 5/5

diulf_teloiv_a on Feb 19 '08
just use the glow in the dark image as the regular tee. the 42 alone is just too plain, a tee i could make on my own easily.



if it ends up printing as the glow in the dark image only, i'd definitely buy it. we all heart douglas.

i give this a 42 divided by 9............ minus .66666666667



if the text....made sense, then it could have been a 42 divided by 8 minus .25

ya...
