What's with the "we love coffee"?
icmedia
icmedia on Apr 09 '04
the 'we love coffee' thing is to let you know that we love coffee. who 'we' is might be a better question...for which i have no answer. hell-i don't know what i'm doing or saying 99% of the time anyways.

like they removed outbreak girl?
aklectik
aklectik on Apr 12 '04
outbreak girl was made from an actual photo. not exactly like another graphic. don't get it twisted. you didn't even make that design.
icmedia
icmedia on Apr 12 '04
i made the stars from scratch in a vector program, laid them out myself, and changed the colors. outbreak girl was traced in a vector program, she added a little skull/heartbones thing, and changed the color. at least i did more work to make a derivative design than that artist, and outbreak girl is one of the most popular shirts on here.



and, fyi-i have never seen the image you posted. i made this from memory based on seeing the poster in a friend's dorm room in college 6 years ago.

Hey, can you email me your friend's number? Cuz' I'd rather have the poster.



Look, I know how it feels, you make something really cool and then find out it's a rip. It's cool. But it IS a rip. I'd pull it down.



And yeah, 9 out of 10 vector pieces you see are traced from a photo. Big deal. Draw something new and repost.

I really want that poster too :)



No offence icmedia... I still love the design. And seriously how many people really care 'bout that little image somewhere on the web that has the same stars on it...

As far as the poster goes, it was a hand-me-down from his dad...my friend is from Puerto Rico and I guess that poster was distributed widely around the Caribbean islands. You might be able to find it on eBay...I never thought to check, I just admired the strong, simple design. In fact, I saw that poster just as I was getting started in design, and it influenced much of my work in that I try to use stronger symbols and clean lines to portray a message as often as possible.

besides-this was meant as more of an ironic statement than an actual competitive piece.
