Ghost on the machine

About the design

Submitted by Laser Bread on March 7, 2008

Hi, this is my sub for the Hot Chip glow ink contest. I wanted the use of the glow ink to have a point, and not just be used for the sake of using it. Here, the glow effect takes this nice design of a copy machine on a t-shirt and gives it a whole new meaning once the lights go down. I decided to do this design on a light colored shirt, to make the glow aspect a nice hidden surprise. As for the ghost, I wanted him to look Casper-esque, bubbly and cute. I also thought giving him legs (and little ghost pants) was a nice touch and made the idea stronger. Hope you enjoy it. I think it turned out pretty well.



Design notes:

-6 colors, including glow ink.

-Cool halftone

-Shown here on light gray, but it would look great on any light colored shirt: white, cream, light blue, mint, yellow.

-Glow ink, although transparent, would appear very, very faint on the shirt when not in a dark room.

Basket of Smiles

Very, very awesome. Once this shirt is printed, I will wear it and refuse to take it off. Even at formal places like weddings and funerals. This will lead to glaring looks from strangers, shouting, and fist fights. Even then it will still be worth it. I will fight these people to defend this shirt's honor.

$5.

jstumpenhorst

Hey, thanks for the great comments so far. I really appreciate the support.

J-Ray

DUDE! Before the glow in the dark showed up I thought.. man this is boring. Then the ghost appears and BAM! Great idea.

The fact that you'll see a small tint of the ghost in the light is great.

LOVE it $5

blacksun5292

Haha, way cute. Very nice :)

$5

chelly

I like your idea, but that glow ink would show up during the day, lessoning the dramatic impact. I also believe that it would cover up the parts of the copier that it is covering. Not sure, but I know it doesn't just magically appear. IT would still be seen. That being said, I still think it's pretty funny.

dacat

Just awesome, print this! $5
