now here's lesson #1:

reality is an illusion.....media is controlled.........if i told u about 9/11 before it happened u would say i'm paranoid......now i'll tell u a much worse event is coming within 3 months (also not a terrorist event like 9/11) in order to have martial law in the US.......anarchy will happened when our economy goes around the same time......the elite are well off and have nothing to worry about, the common man will be fightng over clean water................

> the technique::: look this way (dumb tv shows, entertainment, new gadgets to replace our new gadgets) while we go this way (pass laws that take our rights away slowly).............

ADD is an excuse to give pharmacuetical co. money and make people zombies (so they'll be harmless to what is coming)

rewatch the MATRIX and take the blue pill........the wizard is behind the curtain.....also an important movie

Nice. i think the text makes sense and is worked in well. except, not sure about the "made in my mind" and the box of shades above it though. and her face looks covered in badly done Army camouflage.

her hair is too stringy. it's kind of unappealing. made me think of washed up nicole ritchie.

Can we say objectify?

I'm attracted to the image (because I am trained to be as a man), but I would never wear it in public. This shirt juxtaposes american nostalgia with a fetishized female body. I would never want to return to the social conditions women put up with at the time a car like this would have been in production. Don't need to glorify patriarchy any more than we already do (as in mainstream media representations). Just the girl (with a clever message) or just the car would be more appropriate.

Interesting graphic and reasonably clever. But my fiancee would kick my ass into my head if I wore it. no matter what I said. So that pretty much nixes my chances of buying it. A woman could get away with it. And maybe a gay, gay, man. But I value my cojones too much. Still, a 3 at least.

poser.
no low rider hootchie mama would lean up against a t-bird, and no t-bird owner would let a low rider hootchie mama lean up against his/her car. this whole scenario exists only in the minds of those who know very little about either of the mutually exclusive cultures being referenced here. do a little research.

Come on people, dont´ get too serious, it´s just a T shirt. I happen to like cars ( like the T-bird my granpa owned ) and I happen to like women. Simple as that.

Thanks all for the comments.

eh this is like so cliche and the use of the color squares in the illustration is cheesy. I do like girls and fast cars but this is kinda blah and not interesting. I'd just watch like 50 cent or nelly videos man

nice but i think the 'flesh and steel' part is waaaay too long. resize the white box and the text.

clean design and well constructed, but the actual concept of a hoochie leaning over a car really doesnt appeal to me... but at any rate, i give you credit on really nice vectoring------ *but* this submission will never work... before you submit (or even start creating), you really want to consider your product.

think, mate-- you are proposing this design to print on a Tshirt. tees are made of woven fabric. this means two things to this design:
1) absorbtion
2) woven = raised and indented = limited printing surface

these two factors totally botch up your fine-detail. in your case, first, look at the shirt *zoomed out*. this is pretty much what it will look like in real life. your work is so detailed, i had to zoom in 8x to get the right spot so that im in some MEGA MONDO SUPER ZOOM, its crazy. what im trying to say is, you have many fine lines and fine, small detail that *wont* be able to print.

detail will be lost, either 1) completely gone because the lines are too small to even get any amount of ink through a silkscreen (learn about silkscreening, very important) or 2) ink will blob together and turn into a big run-together blob mess.

for example:
her eyelashes & eye detail / her lips / her fingernails (will turn into blob-hands, i promise) / the car's grill shine (white spots) / the lines which define the curves on the backseat / your itty bitty small fonts / the side vent things on the car (sorry dont know much about that. i *do* know a bit about printing, though, take my word)







http://americanapparel.net/wholesaleresources/fabricsOurs.html

this is the only picture i could find quickly, scroll down to the bottom where they do the 8pt font test. these kinds of things are ESSENTIAL for designers to know when producing products-- your limitations and restrictions.

hun, i really dont mean this note to you to be picking you into pieces, and i know it is, but i wanted to tell you what you need to know. you have skill, but you need to know how to use it most effectively. hope to see some more submissions.

take it easy wood dude, don't get too technical.

problem with this shirt is the text, take out the text and the image would be so cool your. You've over done it with the wording and the text box.

Vwoop, thanks for the comment, you are right almost in every thing you say.
But: I´ve been working on screenprinting almost 10 years. Printing tees for rip curl, Warner bros, Disney, etc.
When the company I worked for bought a Screenprinting machine there, in the US, I went there to specialize on screenprinting.
The first things they tought me is what your are telling me here, but they are not always right.
OK, the submission is not an easy one to print, but I assure you it can be printed with the right Ink (plastisol) the right mesh (120 lpi) and the right tension on the screen. And it will loose no detail. The shirts that threadless uses are 28 or 30 -single combed ring spun cotton, but no less.
Most of the designs threadless print are not that complicated, but some do(a few), and need those specifications to be printed.
I know that the design with all that detail have less chances to be printed, but its always better to have detail to spare than no detail at all. But, for example, the shine spots of the grill are 5 times bigger than a spot on an index color separation at 200 dpi, thats the more common method to print extremly high detailed designs.

Again, Thanks.

Yap, probably I´ve gone too far with the text.
