I'm not sure of the placement, but I like the concept. Maybe add some depth visually to the design- i want to see more going on!
|

are those circles not copyrighted?

jpiatt on Aug 09 '08 um...
what do you have against the Olympics?... If this is a statement about China, it doesn't make much sense to make that statement on a tshirt that, if by some fluke got printed, wouldn't even be printed till the games in China were over. This might make a semi-clever drawing for an editoral page in a newspaper, but that's about as far as I can go. It makes absolutely no sense to put it on a tshirt though. Unless you just draw it on a blank white tee with some markers... |

Pwned!

He's not the first one to do it though.. But I'd say $5 anyway
|
 |
Ooops! Didn't think about the copyrighted thing at all. Maby the circles just in black and/or white. Then it would just be a bunch of rolls of barbwire?
|
 |
Obviously you want to avoid copyright violation..but having worked in editorial illustration, I would say this design is for purposes of satire/comment. It would fine as a magazine illo - not sure about sale on a product. Interesting.
|
 |
i like the barbwire concept. clever stuff.
|
 |
Nice shirt, f@#$ China, $5!!
|
 |
^^^ Way to jump on the "hate China" bandwagon, just complain about whatever's cool to rebel against, right? Yeah, sweet.
|
 |
It doesn't get much more political than this
|
 |
that is utterly awesome!!! seriously, amazing job.
|
 |
nice. I like it
could i have a critique on my design http://www.threadless.com/critique/26294/Crane_bird |
 |
There's a hate china bandwagon? Really? It amazes me how people can hate a whole country.
|
|
I think it's just a bit too late. Apart from the copyright thing, I think it's not clear, how do the Olympics enslave/entrap people?
|
 |
yeah while it can be argued that the chinese government is doing a lot of horrible things to certain cultures(enter Darfur & Tibet [among others]) it is completely ungrounded to title the Olympics as doing such. The Olympic games are a symbol of unity and peace, and to distort this to such cruel things as barbed wire, is very bad form, imho.. this should be removed.
|
 |
I don't see "hate china" from this. The artist could be commenting on how all the media had been focusing on security and politics, while not much attention has been given to the athletes themselves- who are supposed to be the stars.
|
|
its not the first time the focus hasn't been on the games itself...
|
 |
Barbed wire?
ew. |
 |
needs to be more to the design
|
 |
why not atleast use pll to make the known logo,,, its too simple i think and why barbwire?
could have used diff element like hmm fire.earth plants or watever,,, any thing deeper than just making the logo in barb wire,,, |
 |
barbed wire because the olympics drains blood like barbed wire does when it is all barbed wirey.
i get it. that is all that matters. go oohsa. |
