About my design
by jasmintee   
Just wanted to make a striped shirt! So I thought of blinds, with a little film noir aesthetic. The thought bubble is optional - I just had the urge to put it in for some reason - it says "I've got my eye on you..."

Big print with gradients on the sides, to avoid the boxyness.

i like it but the thought bubble bothers me.
it should go to the right
its not the right style... maybe more square or bigger ?

I'm not quite feeling those gradients. I agree with you wanting to ax the boxyness. I can't think of a much better way, but I feel like the gradient is conflicting with the sharp linework of the illustration, which is beautiful by the way.

fantastic concept, and it would look perfect if it weren't for those gradients.. Is it possible to let the stripes go all around?

why are people complaining about the thought bubble? It looks like it's not on the actual shirt, at least on the one to the right. This is awesome, by the way.

Cool! IMO, lose the fade - just have it stop dead. Boxy can look good if the design is largely geometric like this one. Also - I pick no bubble/text! $

a thought for your gradient issue – just stop it dead like fatheed says, and maybe put a box around it, comic strip style. your design has a real lichtenstein feel to it, so i think a comic strip element could work nicely. nice work, regardless.

i think this is the most ingenious striped shirt design i've seen ever. along with most others, my only qualm is the gradients at the sides though i would assume that was just your way of fitting it on the shirt.

This is very similar to an old shirt you can see here: http://ima.dada.net/image/medium/186649.jpg

I think you drew the blinds much better but I wish they covered the shirt more, like they do on the other shirt.

No thought bubble, please.

No thought bubble and it's purrrfect! I was thinking of making a collab where a guy was looking through one of those old school 1920's clubs slide doors for their eyes only and asking for a password, but that's kinda the same idea you have here but yours is much much more awesome! Great work....4$
jasmintee
   jasmintee on Mar 05 '08
Alright guys, no bubble then :). Thanks for all the feedback! I agree that a wrap around design would be awesome, but I don't think it's possible.. unless a belt print on both sides but it would probably be too complicated to match the stripes.

Rubb3rDucky on Mar 05 '08
Looks great! But, I'm not digging the gradient either.

What about using half tones on the side? I think it would give it a better "comic book" feel and can fade out in a shorter distance and look better.
jpeacockdesign
jpeacockdesign on Mar 05 '08
oh my god i want this! badass, this reminds me of those old comic books, i agree with rubberducky you should use halftone dots on the sides to make it fade into the shirt $5555555555

I also saw a similar shirt in a store.
I know cause I have a shirtdesign based on that one.

I dunno if I will complete it now.
I also have blinds (different) and a girl (photograph).
What to do ... :(

Personally, I don't really like the thought bubble... I think it looks a lot cooler without.
The gradient doesn't mind me all that much, but if you changed it, I would say just go to the seam, not all the way around.

Hey Monkey I'm not surprised other people have come up with the same concept while playing with the idea of a striped tee... you should just submit yours and explain that we were working on them at the same time. I know how you feel though.. I've had a couple of shirt ideas already sketched out when someone has submitted a really similar concept here, so I've just ended up not finishing them...

You should do the blinds using the belt printing technique. This way it can go all around the shirt. Well, it's just an idea

Andy Mason
   Andy Mason on Mar 07 '08
since it is only one color, you should definitely make it a belt print and have the stripes go allll the way around. without going all the way around, the whole idea of a striped t-shirt is not as good.

Yeah, Andy Mason, I mentioned earlier that a wrap around belt print would be cool but probably not possible, as matching the stripes from front to back might be kind of complicated... I dunno

I like the thought bubble. It'd be nice if you could get the lines all the way round the shirt but I'm not sure how possible that is print wise.
