Maybe put the explanatory caption on the shirt itself? Or does that ruin the joke?

Funny idea, but I don't know if it works without the caption.

LOL LOLOLOL LOLOL Love it. As pajamasquid said though, I don't know how many people would really get it without the caption. Still rocks.

I think you should leave it as it is... since when does everyone have to get something... let it be a mystery.

I remember learning that trick in elementary school art class. AWESOME! I like it better without the caption.

I included de caption to explain to the voters how it works.
I'm keeping to the original Thaumatrope design where mistery is solved after spining, I think this is the best.
Thanks for all the comments!!

You cant make it work, unless someone is staring at you through a narrow slit. Otherwise, the images are just a blur... cool idea though.

clever use of a classic

It's so much better without the caption. That way, when someone asks you "what's with the shirt", you can spin around and show them. LOL.

I signed up for this just so I could tell you off. You are the most unoriginal person I've ever seen on here. Seriously, could you steal an idea from Stefan Sagmeister and make it any more obvious? I would never show this idea to anyone because you could expect a lawsuit.
Tortellini
Tortellini on May 01 '08
whoa simonsays, you know how to read, right? did you catch the cute little caption next to the comment box that says "Remember, be nice!" hmm ?
like no one has ever been unoriginal before. gimme a break, man. it was a good t shirt idea

A concept. Thank God. :)

Really cool. But I know I wouldn't get it without the caption D:

Dear SimonSays, I just googled Mr. Sagmeister and I couldn`t find any work of him related to the Thaumatrope, so please, if you have a link post it so I can take a look at what you talking about.
If I'm stealing for someone is from Peter Roget, Dr. John Ayrton of Paris, or Dr. Fitton of London, the three persons credited (depending of the source) for the invention of the Thaumatrope in 1825. But I don't think that they have made any shirts.

Thanks for all the comments!

SimonSaysDesign13 is a dick. This is great. Finally a Threadless design worth talking about. Sagmeister is just like many other contemporary designers: steal from as obscure a source as you can. This heightens the perception of your own originality.

I would totally get the reference without the text. Nice work.

but on those card things the cage is upside down to the bird...
awsome design though
VecinoLorenzo
   VecinoLorenzo on May 04 '08
Akgirl89, yo are right, in the original Thaumatrope the cage is up side down and the reason is that the card will spin vertically, and you need to have the cage tihis way to complete the ilusion.
As I designed the shirt, I realised that as wearing it you will sipn horizontally to make it work, so the cage can be in the normal position.
Thanks for all the comments!!

My class mate did this concept for one of his final year project about T-shirt designs about 3 years ago.

This is freaking fabulous. I hope it gets printed. All of my film history students would get it.
Big Ed
Big Ed on May 05 '08
I also like how you employed the most often used example for making thaumatropes because it makes it so much more classic.

$5 for animation-history!
I think this is clever.

i like the concept, but it could be mistaken from the front for a creative recreation logo.

One thing I'm tired of seeing on this site is people being pricks because they don't get a t-shirt.


Just because a few people can't understand it, doesn't mean that majority won't, either.


This is a HILARIOUS shirt. I can just imagine all the awkward and hilarious moments that will stem from it.


I hope this gets printed, it's by far the best design I've scored.


5 and a would buy
Nautical_Nun
Nautical_Nun on May 06 '08
This is funny, I get it! (and I would love to see people try to get it to work when they wear it, haha)
I think it looks fine without a caption, it looks good as it. If anything, though, just include the caption on the "About the shirt" section if it wins, so when people are looking to buy it, they understand what it is.
This gets a 5 from me :D
Pundle
Pundle on May 06 '08
This is awesome, definitely DO NOT add any text, it will completely ruin the design.
MeggieRose
MeggieRose on May 07 '08
This is crazy funny. My opinion? No text, for sure, and maybe a different color shirt. I don't really care for the blue....A white, maybe, or off-white frosty blue? I think the contrast would be better if the color was lighter.
