phillydesigner on Aug 12 '08 Clever take on CMYK... could the K have been interpreted better?
|
 |
Hehe, very clever indeed. One of the best CMYK shirts I've seen!
I do agree though, I think maybe it would be better if the last guy was actually doing a "K". Or maybe he's angry cause he wants to do the YMCA instead?! |
 |
cmyk?
|

bennyd302 on Aug 12 '08 ha fantastic
|
 |
yeah, CMYK is short for Cowboy, Maintenance, Yelping Dog, and Karl. They were the village people from back in the day that sang YMCA.
Nice concept and execution. |
 |
i don't see the k but cool design
|
 |
damn nice!!!!
$5 |
 |
Well done. 5$
|
 |
Papaprime on Aug 13 '08 I'm very interested in knowing why the K wasn't used. It's the only thing holding my $5 back...
I'll come back and score this later if you have a decent explanation. Because I want to love this so badly! |
 |
orangehead on Aug 13 '08 haha!!! rock on!
|
 |
Very nice. 4
|
 |
hahaaa this is fantastic. not sure about the K, but everything else blows my mind.
|
 |
NomadSlim on Aug 13 '08 Maybe the best CMYK concept I've seen, but I'm on the 'what is up with special K?" bandwagon.
|
 |
maybe he doesn't have to make the K 'cause he is black?
angry black karl? because it's the only letter not in YMCA? even if that (or something like it) was the idea, i'm still wishing he had a solid outline. what if he was doing the Y to the side? |
 |
ha ha this is funny!
|
 |
Hey,
Let me try to explain the K-guy. Theoretically you just need the three colors CMY for the subtractive color model, all colors together result in black (theoretically). But we know we need the K for the print. But the real colors are CMY and they do the happy “color-dance”. The K is just an additional (not a real) color… just for a technical purpose. So the K-guy is not involved in the “color-dance” and separated (and maybe a little bit angry about this). Thanks for the commands. |
|
uups sorry, thanks for the comments. (not commands)
|

Ronin60 on Aug 13 '08 nice one.
|
|
brilliant. I started laughing instantly.
|
 |
ivejustquitsmoking on Aug 13 '08 that's funny!
|
 |
am-ay-zing.
|
|
Papaprime on Aug 13 '08 If this prints, I suggest giving the last guy the "k" regardless. I would buy this if that were altered, $5 so you can win and follow my "command" :)
|
|
another possibility (even though you already answered it)
maybe Karl's a ninja. and ninja's don't dance and they sure as hell don't dance to disco. |
 |
Funny!!!
|
 |
Yeah...I'd buy it if black was making a K...I wouldn't feel like explaining it to people, because I'm really not sure I understand...even after your explanation.
|
 |
hahaha... d a n g , that's a good explanation. :)
|
 |
Jellyes on Aug 13 '08 K it and I'd buy it!
|

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 13 '08 Nice, but i like this one better if this concept would get printed:

 |
At first I thought it was the YMCA, then I thought it was GAY, and then I realized it was CMYK 'cause of the colours. Interesting concept.
|
 |
I really like that the K guy is not doing the "K". He's just so badass like that. He's like "Look, we both know it's a K, but I aint doin the arm thing. Sincerely, Rob Halford"
|
 |
ooo i love it!! well done x
|
 |
The best CMYK I've seen. Listen to them about the K.
|
 |
$5. Best CMYK shirt I've seen.
|
 |
I like it!
|
|
$5 :)
|
 |
I love it... but take it from me, for every 'love it' comment you get there are 10 secret haters.
|
 |
jillustration on Aug 15 '08 clever!
|
|
jillustration on Aug 15 '08 and arleym is right on the money about the 10 secret haters...
|
 |
smart....
|
 |
Nice shirt, but the K should be different. Listen to then.
I'd like it better on the back. |
 |
Arrow08 on Aug 16 '08 haha nice!
|
 |
lmao very cool ^^
|
 |
I took the concept as the A feels excluded, because that letter isn't a part of CMYK. That makes much more sense that any of the other ideas or explanations mentioned.
Great design. |
 |
agreed great cmyk sub
|
 |
love this so much.
|
 |
i like the pouty absence of "K"
|
|
possibly the funniest thing ever. i didn't even notice the lack of a "k" until i read the comments.
|
|
Thank you for all the kind comments.
|
|
CMYK = Cyan Magenta Yellow... Karl?
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow together equal black. Karl (or the A from YMCA) is upset because he is not colorful. But he's still a part of the YMCA concept. right? |
 |
Personally I love the way you implemented the K. When I said it out loud, "C" "M" and "Y" all had the spirit of the YMCA tune, but when you get to K, the music stops, and there is an awkward silence. Haha! Well done.
|
 |
No way - I had this exact same idea at the weekend
Guess i'll not bother now 5$ for your mind reading skills |
|
this deserved better... it will still get printed

About my design
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground...
I think you know these guys and the song... and the dance of course.
Four colors on black tee.
Hope you like it.
