About my design

by tofudabeast   
3 unique colors.



There is some curve quality loss when you zoom in, so I've made a big .jpg version so you can see what the design is supposed to look like, found here: http://foxwell.dk/threadless/ascentofdoom.jpg

really really nice design, love it and the colors, but why is there a deer on the detergent bottle? is this musk sented cleaner? is it sopposed to be cologne made from musk? if so, why is it in a detergent bottle? is it pine sented? if so what's the deer doing there? is it sopposed to be nature in general? if i understood this would get a 5 and a buy. just 4 for now.

I don't understand the image (bottle of sweet, but deadly, deer urine?), but the image looks really cool.

OOH OOOOH I THINK I GET IT! i think it's a message about how we're poisoning nature/ the planet! am i right?

OOH OOOOH I THINK I GET IT! you're a retard. this isn't about poisoning the planet, it's a charming commentary outlining the horrid yet pleasant way our olfactory nerve processes smells. For instance, if you open the gas can, it stinks. If you put your mouth over the hole and slowly and deliberately breathe in and out, it smells oh so warm and cuddly and it makes you forget all of your troubles, if only for a few minutes at a time.

Losing the jug would be good, but I like the fumes!

copper: so the deer represents being high? i see where you got that and almost agreed for a sec, but a deer?! deer are "oh so warm and cuddly and they makes you forget all of your troubles"? not seein it. maybe if it was a pink elephant.

What? You've never huffed gas and then buggered a deer? It's the best, mate.

ooo...this is the first one i've given above a three for a while!



i really really enjoy this

something about the placement bothers me, but i can't figure out how you could fix that.



excellent!
tofudabeast
   tofudabeast on May 21 '04
thanks sarah, I've been wondering about the placement as well, but I couldn't figure out what else to do with it... maybe lower down, and to one of the sides? I just don't know, but I wouldn't mind it being somewhere other than where it is now. Thanks for the nice words, bloody thing took me forever to make ;-)



for everyone else, I'm not going to give you my personal interpretation or explain what I was thinking with this design. Make up your own minds, that really is the only thing that matters =) Some (however little!) of what Chesterpot said was actually sort of close though, in some weird and horribly twisted way... imagine that.

Hahaha I LIKE it. The deer is giving me this kind of Princess Mononoke feel but I'm just a dork, so eh. 4.

Cool.

Irrelevant, but reminds me of "Samurai Jack".

What appeals to me is the interpret-ability of the design. What I mean is that the message isn't so obvious or strong, and allows for varied interpretation within a boundary presented by the elements of the drawing.

ok i JUST saw that same EXACT image from SOMEONE ELSE.

inside of your toxic bottle thing, the deer? with the flowers? and the trees?

yeah, previous submission.

in fact, they sent it in twice.

both times, they got low scores.

dont see how this one should get any better, 's not like the rest of the design is original either.

I love it. I love the green color, too. Very cool.

vwoop > I'm sorry, what the hell are you talking about? First of all, I didn't lift *one single part* of this design from anywhere. I know that a lot of designs have deer on them, but I don't see why that should make my design any worse. I'd love to see where it is you think I stole this from, and I'd just LOVE to hear why it is you don't think my design is original. When you go around accusing people of plagiarism, you should really link to whatever it is you think they're ripping off. Now, I know that *nothing* in my design is a rip-off, unless you think using stuff like deer is a rip-off just because people have used deer before. You don't like my design, fine. But don't fucking tell me that I ripped something off when I slaved over it for 5 days.



Sorry to everyone else for the language, but this is just too much.

I'm guessing this is what vwoop thinks I ripped off:

I'd move the design off the center. Otherwise it's really nice, color is great and the illustration is very good. I like and this tee just wants to be in my closet.

yea i dont understand why threadless posts stuff that scores poorly... you'd think that if more people like it then more people would buy it. but i guess they have a different economics equation...

It kinds looks like the deer of a bottle of jagermeister. Or maybe I'm just an alcoholic.

My interpretation: It's one of those scented bottles of bleach. It smells nice but it's rather deadly.

I bought this shirt because it rocks - I never even checked out the score.



and if you don't inspect it and you don't know your prep symbols very well like I do, you'll assume it means Abercrombie is secretly evil. :D IT WILL KEEL YOU

haltedblue > thanks for the nice words, incidentally, the tiny bright splotch at the bottom of the tuft of grass are my initials and the design year, thusly JL'04... I'm looking at my copy of the shirt right now, and it doesn't really show ;-)
