Essentials of Punctuation

About the design

Submitted by landosamorm on March 7, 2009

I was playing with various punctuation marks and I liked the way I could get 7 unique marks with only six "dots".



Even unexplained, the design stands on its own. Click "PRINT + LABELS" button to see the different marks pointed out.

I'm a fan of your simple typographic work dude

adorablepancreas

i find it more interesting with the labels!

"...playing with various punctuation marks..."

word

i think this design, with this color selection, would look even better on a darker background. maybe not black, but a good charcoal grey perhaps.

that apart, i like it a lot.

wutwazthat4

you say there is 7 marks but you only have 6 labeled on there..

I agree on a darker gray.

or a royal blue like the "print + label" background shirt is.

love the idea!
i agree, a less bland background color [but not too much to detract from the great punctuation colors]
and i like it better with the labels [in that font&arrangement]
awesome design :)

i second everyone on the need for a darker shirt color.
i also second everyone who said that this is very clever.

finally, as a writer, artist, colorist, and t-shirt lover, this design TOTALLY suits me! 5$

now if only you put them on a musical staff.... (no! j/k! don't do that! haha)

subtle, but intriguing

jplove

Cool! I agree with said above!

Er, yeah. I guess there are 6 UNIQUE marks and 7 total marks (two periods).

Thanks for the comments!

Lovely.

If it weren't on a darker shirt, I'd like nice sharp, black, drop-shadowy things to set them off...

Sorry i don't like it, sometimes simple its not smart.

olie!

I think it's a really clever idea, the only thing I think holding it back is how all the dots are different colors for no apparent reason. I think it'd be a lot stronger if all the dots were just one color, probably black, which would be super easy to change and make the symbols easier to read (for me at least). Nice job nonetheless :)

awesome i love it!!!
the design so simple and clean and yet so clever :D

bygrinstow

Actually, I do think the colors relate, but maybe that could be pushed further?

The semi-colon is two greens, the colon is red and orange, the quotation mark is the two darkest cool colors... it's the ellipsis that's most disjointed colorwise. ...And I love ellipsis. I waste the most pixels making ellipses....

love!
keep it simple

On black or a dark color please! I want this shirt.

carolann12582

so clean and interesting

jpjeffries

I agree with others; I'm distracted by the colors. Maybe a tie die shirt with black or blue dots and commas etc?

LINK2DPAST

I'm only countin' 6 distinct punctuation marks, but that such a minor presentation detail I don't care. This is cool!

usemefriendly

very clever! i do like this! if i wore this, i would feel smart, like i could write anything with the right punctuation!
