About my design

by bcolbow   
After being Rick-Rolled (being tricked into clicking on a link of Rick Astley singing "Never gonna to give you up") several times over the last week I started to wonder when this all started.

haha. Great idea! And I like the progression of the illustrations too.

Very cute idea, but I think you need to at least give people a little bit of a hint on who that dancing white dude just might be by putting the words "never gonna give you up!" and some lil' musical marks around the words.

I hadn't glanced at the title and when I saw it I thought it was Vanilla Ice....must be the hair...

I love the concept though....

I instantly thought about Rick Roll, but, like others said, there should be some indication to it. 4/5

I like the warding motions they're making with their hands. Maybe you should have one guy trying to close the curtain ;)

as is, it works as a cartoon but not as a tee. i think it's a bit too plain for a tee. but i think the concept is AMAZING.

definitely put "rick rolled" somewhere.

azukar on Apr 14 '08
Yeah, agree with the above. It needs soemthing to tell you that it's a Rick Rolling in progress.



If you give it that, without ruining the design, this is a 5.

I love it! I love it! I love it! Definite 5$. If I'm going to buy one T-shirt from Threadless this year, this would be it.

Wow, Podunk42, thanks.



It's true that the shirt is better when you know the title, but I decided to go without because it didn't look good and I think the best jokes are the ones that ones that are a little more subtle. Actually adding the text "Rick-Roll" just ruined it for me.
bcolbow
   bcolbow on Apr 14 '08
Man, my last comment made no sense What I meant was that I like more subtle humor so I left the text out.

I actually emailed ThinkGeek suggesting they pick this up if Threadless doesn't.
