About my design

by T Crane
I'm not a fan of politics, but no matter who you are, you have to admit that he was an amazing man.



I "carved" his portrait out of his Gettysburg Address which I think we all can learn a lot from.



This would be my first submission, so I appreciate your comments and advice!

This is pretty darned spiffy-looking, actually; and who wouldn't like Lincoln???

I really like the colors, though I think it would be better if the bottom weren't such a straight line.

Are the faint gray dotted lines on the design, did you write it all out? Looks Cool!

Wow. Awesome first submission! I agree about the straight line at the bottom, but it's so minor that it doesn't take away much from the design.

While this is well done and a different take on the usual type as a picture style, I must admit i'm kinda done with that specific way of doing text pics.

This must have taken forever! Nice work. (^^^^Agree that the the font is a bit off-putting.)

Since woot had a very similar shirt win a derby way back in April, i'd wager "forever" is a relative term.



Not to say this isn't done better, but it's simply not a concept that needed one shirt, let alone two.

Hey, thanks for your comments everyone!



Like I said, I'm new to this whole thing so I didn't know if it had been done before. I was really looking to see if the concept was something worth pursuing with a different design, but I think I'll probably just leave it alone.



Thanks again!

As somebody from one of the other countries on the globe, self-indulgent American stuff like this makes me want to chuck.

Font should be more script-like, and the bottom should do something different. Perhaps make it bleed off the bottom?

The bottom kills it for me. the font doesn't help. But good layout man, you captured his likeness.

EARTH TO NEON TATTOO: I get how Americans have some snobby reputation of being the head honcho ignorant alpha dog on the playground since ive been fed the education and all the other crap on our ancestors even thou i cant change the past and i keep up with the real news. I believe displaying something a person feels passion for shouldnt take that shitty attitude that is an enormous uncalled for judgement for an"American" generilization. Before you "Chuck" you should do a little research on Abe Lyncoln and see what you extract. Instead of making EXTREMELY hurtful generalizations on "self indulgent American stuff" as you call it. All i have left to say is think about it before you sputter that shit out cuz im only 17 here and have more respect and maturity than to not go off on how fucking fabulous my heavenly nation is for simply hilighting this man who happens to be a respected figure in our country. Where as you judge people like me, or anyone for that matter over a T shirt? Learn to back your words up bub. I dont have to be proud of my country to say this or wear this shirt but as much as i like it or not i am " somebody from one of the other countries on the globe". With that said... whoever reads this sorry for putting it here. This is a beautiful piece of artwork. I love the color fade and appologize for my rant...but hey....i was offended... if you can tell. This is my constructive criticism. It is also my plunge into knowledge on how the world is yet still full of judgemental pricks even (i assume) out of high school but im not generalizing here. When does the growing up start honestly??
