think about it ;)

3 colors (black white and blue 5483) on olive green - should work with other colors as well.

if this makes it - more to come.

pretty cool :)

I love the image of the crumpled ball and the message, but I think the typography could be improved. $4

sendainohito on Mar 12 '08

I don't get it

imaginary_wanderer on Mar 12 '08

heehee $5

Tragerian on Mar 12 '08

I think typography must have been more serious. But in the end for me it s very nice to see a simply nice and effective idea on a design after all those birds, other animals, monsters, fantastic creatures previously exposed by some other people. Thanks iQuip! I'd definitely wear this.

iQuip on Mar 12 '08

I wanted a semi-serious a font (that lacked confidence)...however, if this design does not survive based on typography, I'd happy to take suggestions on (exactly) any suggested fonts.

runaway_star on Mar 12 '08

I personally think it should be more serious but I'd buy it as is!!

Raphe10 on Mar 12 '08

is this as morbid as i think it is? (too hard, so you just give up, on life and oragami that is) ?

Sunshine69 on Mar 12 '08

I think hand-drawn lettering or even a typewriter font would look better. I would still buy it, though. I think it's hilarious.

CheeseSandwich on Mar 12 '08

very clever. I really like your style. $4

Kott on Mar 12 '08

I really think this is amazing! It should printed this instant! I think the font is fine too. Greta Job! 5$ 5$ 5$

axl_van_goks on Mar 13 '08

would
better without the type message

change.49 on Mar 13 '08

maybe revise the text.

ClareW on Mar 13 '08

love it, but i'd rather not have the type ..

opifan64 on Mar 13 '08

nice job! i might prefer just a straightforward courier new font though

Sunshine69 on Mar 14 '08

why are people saying that the text should be removed? what the hell? then it's not even funny, just a crumpled ball of paper. Way to miss the point. This is brilliant.

Robsoul on Mar 14 '08

it doesn't make sense to drop the text... i feel i'm pointing out the obvious

about the design & message, so true!

roundbox on Mar 14 '08

if he type worked it would have been really great

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 14 '08

I really dig this sub. It seems like a quick, one-off idea you'd find in a variety of nation-wide stores at first, but the more you look at it, the more meanings come out of it. I think people are right with the type, it makes the sub seem to not have as much depth as it really includes. Change the font to something a bit more raw and this gets a 4$.

dayna23 on Mar 14 '08

this is perfect....as is. the font works really well, it's ironic and wonderful and i can't wait until it is printed so i can buy it wear it and love it.

dayna23 on Mar 14 '08

i don't get how people don't get this! really, it's boggling my mind.

eponai on Mar 14 '08

the font is a bit too cute for the morbid message. i would use something either straightforward like courier or typewriter, or somethign that suggests cracking up....

eponai on Mar 14 '08

i forgot to say i really like the concept though.

KetchupAndMustard on Mar 14 '08

i like it and think it should stay as it is

mystifyed on Mar 14 '08

How much critique can the threadless community throw at a crumpled up piece of paper? LOTS apparently.

iQuip, iLoveit. Leave as is.

maverickthemav on Mar 15 '08

try redbubble.com

Albericci on Mar 15 '08

Jemae on Mar 15 '08

5$! + text! :D

kikakid on Mar 15 '08

Love it, totally how my life is at the moment.

Cooger8 on Mar 16 '08

more origami?

iQuip on Mar 16 '08

there have been 32 other designs with the keyword origami. there have been 1,135 designs about cats. less cats?

horizontal vertigo on Mar 17 '08

u mean life could b interestin, awesome and intricate but instead is a rolled up useless bit of waste? yes i am kinda cynical ^_^

kwinky on Mar 18 '08

i'd buy it, great idea! :)

perhaps "sometimes life is like origami"? or "life is like origami" - to give it a little more punch...
(or to go the other way "life is a whole lot like origami")

sorry, there's just something i don't like about the current wording of the phrase :-/

iQuip on Mar 18 '08

I toyed with those as well (great minds think alike). I ended up back at this one. also "my life is like origami". Glad you like it. :)

Geeartist on Mar 19 '08

Sunshine69 on Mar 20 '08
