Before this gets lost in future comments, I'd like to thank some really helpful people from the community who offered all kinds of different advice and ideas:





mtths

quister

Infinitessimal

Spieliewielie

TTUraider

Lumpycheeks

Jelly Phresh

HorsefaceDee

Solemio

... and many more (seriously, I was surprised by the massive amount of people)! All your feedback was incredibly useful, and everyone was really supportive of the choices and direction I decided to take. I'm still relatively new to Threadless, but regardless, you guys offered more than enough advice and criticism!



Anyway, hope you guys like the design, feel free to comment!

Very fun! Gray is still my favorite to contrast the "monotonous" with "the monstrous" (great description!).

ayearinreview
   ayearinreview on Jun 03 '09
Thanks everyone!



DaNextGrate: I've displayed Blue, Grey, and Purple variations. But I'm sure there's more, it's a pretty adaptable design. I think the main three shown in the presentation work best, though.

BubbaLovin on Jun 03 '09
I like the idea, I would be more interested if there was more detail in the office worker's expressions. As of right now they remind me of clip art. I like the monster.

I'm quite surprised, given the massive amount of positive feedback from the community, as well as the large number of votes, that it scored so much lower than my first design, which to me, is far inferior. Hmm, I guess you gotta roll with the punches. Can't help but be slightly disappointed though.



Either way, I want to thank the huge amount of people who gave me positive feedback, as well as those who helped me with the crit. Seriously, thanks for your support! In the end, I guess time will tell.

Something is definitely amiss in threadless world. Subs that are amazing (like this one) get 1000 votes and 100 comments yet score low. Subs that are just ok get 1000 votes and 10 comments, and score ridiculously high.



And everyone that gets about 500 votes seem to be correct.

No worries. I trust that if anything is wrong, that it'll be cleared up. If this is the score that I rightfully got, than so be it, I guess. It's disappointing, but not discouraging.

Is that what happened, agrimony? The internet cafe' users down-voted the other designs in the running? I guess there's no way to be sure yet. Regardless, it's very encouraging (and comforting) to have you guys saying that this deserved better. I really appreciate that!

woah, unbelievably underscored! i had this pegged as a 2.9 absolute minimum, more than likely a 3.2

2.18 is ridiculous, I don't get how that happened.

maybe if enough of us complain about it and demand it's print in here, threadless will get the point.



so boo hiss to everyone who scored this anything less than a 4 and threadless, if you're reading this...

PRINT!!!!!
ayearinreview

Ha, thanks Digsy! If it's meant to get printed, then hopefully it will. If not, then it's at least good to know that so many people supported this design despite the odd vote turnout.

Well, holy poop. You gotta hand it to the staff, right? Pretty impressive that not only did they get to the bottom of things regarding the ultra-high voting numbers, but they rectified all the wrong that was seemingly done amongst the other subs in the running. I dropped from 960 odd votes to 616 ... that's a lot of mischievous voting. I'm just glad the community was so outspoken about defending mine and the few other affected subbers' designs, and supporting it, regardless of it's score. Either way, it sure is nice to see a score like that. My best one yet! Big props to the staff, and an equal big props to the community!



Someone needs to make a "I survived June '09" badge, hand them out to the other subbers, haha.
