new color scheme...added back design...

Having the text on the bottom is strange. I'm going to have a ticker-tape of sorts running across my crotch.



Also, I just find this boring.

I didn't like the pink and i don't really like this either...maybe a blue shirt? or green? I guess that the head is better than before. the size has improved. the text is not in a good place. maybe you could try placing it higher and not in just one line. also, maybe you could put the his last name by the quote instead of E.H. unless you want some people to be confused about who it is.

im confusedabout what this tshirt is trying to say. is it saying that i wear this tshirt because i am a succesful rapist? or someone raped the back of my head. and how come you cant see any eyes in the design. weird.

Would anyone actually wear a shirt that said rapist on it....

i still think the text would be good following the lines of the hair or neck, and hand written. also that color will have stains all over it in a week. someone has to be pragmatic around here. whats w/ the orange?

"...perhaps"

someones uncertain about their tee

quite right. i am uncertain about the t. i'm fairly new to this game and so I am only testing the waters, seeing what people like in the community. Also, i am working in photo shop and I must admit I would like to make the text follow the contours of the head, but i don't know how! If anyone could tell me how it would be appreciated. and thanks for the comments



as for the whole motif of the design I must say I am still submitting a rough draft and perhaps not too sure myself what I am trying to say.



I recently read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway and found this quote accompanying a description of a man Hemingway met while in Paris. The quote really stood out to me for some reason. I guess by refering to someone with this description Hemingway was painting a very strong and unique picture of a mans face. As i read the description I thought to myslef what an unsuccesful rapist or any criminal or deviant might look like......probably like anyone.



With the T i wasn't trying to make some grand phylisophical statement...only that you never know what kind of person someone could be by looking at their face....so the face is hidden, the head turned and the quote.......well it acts as a way to grab attention (as I would not be afraid to wear a shirt that said rapist on it...I would enjoy the controversy it might bring) and it also motivates the whole idea of what a face can show......or hide



anyway I've written way too much

i've never seen such a response to a shirt design. your last one had comments galore (mostly quibbling), and this one seems to be going the same direction...all for a bad design. i don't like the head, it looks like he has mange or something and the quote at the bottom is terrible – you put no thought into it. i did a design a week ago with a bird and put the quote in the bark of the branch. that work took me forever to produce and i received great response on it, and appreciated all of it, but to be honest, it seems like you're trying to rip my idea, but not bothering to put any effort into it.



that should get the board even more revved up...

ja, well. Mezzarip, you are entitled to your opinion. But about "ripping" your idea........quite frankly it's ludacris. I would be lieing if I said I hadn't seen your design, but at the same time I can honestly say I wouldn't want to "rip" any ideas from it. And it seems as if you're claiming you were the first to come up with such an idea......puting words on a t-shirt....buddy come on. If you want to copyright that style - go for it. thanks for the input, none-the-less

i do want a shirt with a mind boggling quote on it, honestly. But i'd rather have it in a fancy font, and have the picture seem really poetic, and fancy, to match the font of the quote.

better, but still need a loottttt of work son.

I know.. I think this guy got skullF$%KED and the white of the design is the baby juice. No?

its shite

period

well I might wear a shirt about a rapist if I was trying to piss people off... but probably not one with rapist written across my crotch

mezzadrip has a big head now, someone praised his shirt idea!



ok you were getting at the point that you can't tell a rapist by their face... so you're saying that you can tell them by the BACK of their heads? i DO see the point you're trying to make, a movie comes to mind that you might find interesting for the whole "a rapist would look like anyone" speach you gave us and thats '8mm' with nicholas cage.



now, about the design, the colours are... horendous and as the person above stated, i'd rather not have people looking at my crotch and thinking rapist within the same few moments, it DOES leave a bad image of the wearer rather than towards actual rapists themselves. put the whole persons name, because i had no idea who E. H. was til you told us all. try some line work to bring out the features of the face more. maybe try the idea with two different people, perhaps a guy and a girl, to make it more general.



you opened your last comment with the sentence "quite right. i am uncertain about the t. i'm fairly new to this game and so I am only testing the waters, seeing what people like in the community."

well for starters, we don't want rough drafts posted on threadless, just your best possible work as youre NOT actually supposed to post the same design again and again, work on something til you believe its perfect, as friends and family what they're true opinions of the work are and go about trying to satisfy their ideas, consider the audience.

finally, illustrator can do the text effects you're after. working with such flat colours, vector is a treat compared to raster.

I really like the illustration and the color scheme. I love pink and brown (my favorite combination) but the text distracts me. I think it would be cooler minus any meaning and just a cool illustration.

leave this t and stop re-submitting it - its cack

Mezzatrip I doubt that you were the first to put a graphic and some text on tee shirt, dont get ahead of yourself son, as for the design at hand, the head and the text really dont flow, maybe find a new text, and make a new head.

drop everything but the head on the front

this is my haircut. and i am not a rapist.

who actually gives a Rats T*T if you're a Rapist or not. This is a T for an audience of One... you. Its self indulgent and amatuerish. Try Harder

dazron, thanks for the multiple comments...but there are plenty of others on this site to harass

just wanted you to be sure of how rubbish this is... stop re-submitting it please and as I said - work on something new and try harder this time
