alexmdc on Apr 08 '09 nice!

ben chen on Apr 08 '09 cool!!!!

There's no sense of motion to it, looks like they're sitting on a static turntable and the one guy's running around it. This is emphasized by the symmetrical design (everything lines up on diagonals to the record player). Also, why are they bald with no faces? Makes them look a little plain - at least if they had hair or something.
|
 |
I like it!
Good job man! 5$ |
 |
CazKing on Apr 09 '09 very cool!

@MeanJason: Lining up on diagonals like this is called 2 point perspective - it's sort of necessary for a sense of depth. Bald/no faces - not needed to illustrate the concept, gives it a defining style, and helps with the quality of reproduction if it gets printed.
@Chubra - I'm not a DJ either - just a guy who likes records. Thanks for all the good comments so far! Much appreciated! |

tight piece man

This is nice!
|
 |
cool!
|
 |
way to go......
|
|
thanks for all the good words. I'm glad it's being received so well!
|
 |
nice presentation
|
 |
This is so cool. I think it would be better placed lower, but then I just like lower placement, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Awesome awesome job!
|
 |
NICE concept, & well presented!
how do you guys do all those flash stuff anyway? 5$ http://www.threadless.com/submission/204263/weapon_of_mass_destruction |
 |
cool!
|
|
@ sevan.kouyoumjian: I build all my flash from scratch - I've been an interactive Art Director around the NYC area for a while now, so it's kind of second nature to me at this point. If you need any help, let me know.
@cori: placement is certainly a subjective kind of thing. I personally like it centered right over the rib cage, but that's just me. Thanks for the comments! |
|
Wow - I simply adore this and would definitely get it... if it were in black (but thats just crazy old me).
Fantastic job. Don't change anything! (except for make it a black shirt :) |
 |
awesome, quirky design and great execution. the whole thing is really interesting, clever and clean. you must be a very talented guy with a really awesome girlfriend.
just a hunch. |
|
@Anglesane: I have so many black Tees myself, so I understand your preference for sure. During critique the gray kept going over really well - seemed to be the strong preference in comparison to any of the other colors I was playing with. Thanks for using the word "adore" - that made my day.
|
 |
Great!
|
 |
inbalzubalsky on Apr 12 '09 I like!
|
 |
Nice dude! Just bought a couple used 45s the other day. Spin the black circle! $5
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Apr 13 '09 Love the concept and even the black and white styling, I'd just prefer kids or some hipsters or something to the blank marionettes whom are playing on the vinyl-go-round right now. Excellent idea and drawing tho!
|
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Apr 13 '09 I'm somehow suspecting LaurAsh is a psychic....or your very supportive girlfriend, hehehe.
|
|
@FRICKINAWESOME: Thanks for the good words. I had considered (and played with) giving more of a childlike look to the people, but I ultimately just went as plain/generic on them as possible - just focusing on form and a quick read rather than too many details to describe who the figures really were. And yes, LaurAsh is my very supportive girlfriend - I didn't even realize that was her comment until I got to the very end of it. She made me blush.

ndikol on Apr 13 '09 so nice idea :D :D :D$5
|
|
oh man, last day on my first sub. the suspense is killing me. Thanks to everyone who left such positive comments thus far, it's certainly an ego booster.
|
 |
Great first sub! high marks here!
|
 |
Look great on the tee and the black circle idea is cool~ i feel the music yet the idea execution is great.
|
|
Thanks guys!
|
|
thanks guys!
|
 |
SUPER.
|
 |
Hey, man! Thanx for the feedback on my submit! Now... let me tell you I like the illustration and the color combo, and the way the design is placed on the T, but I don'g go quite well with the concept, it just doesn't reach me... not your fault! Cool job anyway! Keep it up!
|
 |
I love the idea, but I think I've seen something like it somewhere before. I don't remember where though.
|
|
@ignacio_veiga: Thanks for the feedback - yeah, not everyone will respond to the concept, but that goes for any illustration or idea, I guess. Thanks for the good words, though!
|
|
@mike bautista: Thanks! I wish you could remember where you think you had seen it because I killed myself making sure that nothing similar had been done - didn't want to trip myself up on my first sub.
|
 |
THIS IS PURE AWWWWWSSSSSSOMMMMMMEEEEEENNNEEESSSSSSS
such a great idea! one word wowowowowowowowow |
 |
evan3 on Apr 15 '09 you spin my head right round right round..
wait it is a roundabout thing at the playground and record player!! INSANE! 5! |
|
evan3 on Apr 15 '09 check mine....:)
|
 |
I missed the vote :( but flicker.to.flame very good first submission well done :D the use of inks is wicked Have a look at my shirt aswell take care
|
 |
Honestly, I find the best thing about the critiques being given to the design is that flicker.to.flame takes the time to respond to people and takes both criticism and praise in stride. I like that you stand up for your choices, and explain them.
Sad I missed the vote on this one, really nice concept. |
|
evan3 on Apr 16 '09 fairly printable score!
|
|
@Robotosteve - thanks for those kind words. I guess I've developed a thick skin from the industry (and school, of course) and hopefully a constructive way at responding to, as well as giving, critique. Although, I did hope for a bit of a higher score - not too shabby overall for my first sub.
@evan3: thanks for the comments you left as well, much appreciated. @lalamagicfairy: That's certainly the most CAPS used in this thread, and definitely the longest version of "wow" that I've seen in a while - I'm glad my design has warranted that kind of enthusiasm from you! Thanks for commenting and voting! |
 |
Seriously one of our favorites! Dig that there are people interacting on the record-never seen that before.
We have similar products and concepts..check us out at http://www.defrez.com/home.html word up! |
|
@DEFREZ1: Thanks for the kind words - took a look at your site - nice stuff. Check mine out @ http://www.flickertoflame.com and http://blog.flickertoflame.com - Thanks again.

About my design
5 colors total - two solid greys, black, white + metallic silver on edge highlights and details to add a little depth and dimension.
By the way, this is my first Threadless submission and I hope to do a lot more!
