About my design

by bengineer   
Here comes my submission for the Loves Geeks Challenge. I hope the pun is clear here.

Names of the "Ancient Geeks" (from left to right):

Homer, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato.



ATTENTION-ATTENTION-ATTENTION:



I decided to put on a little CONTEST:



Who ever is the first to guess the name of the guy wearing the shirt on slide 1 by posting a comment (only 1 guess per member) GETS A $25 VOUCHER if it gets printed.

GOOD LUCK!

sorry i'm not sure if i get you right (since i'm german and english isn't my first language). you say that you don't think i'm "bribing" others or buying votes, right?

and by side contest you mean my "guess who"-contest, right?



well, i can just assure you that i'm not trying to bribe others.

my only intention putting on those contests was to get attention for my design and i don't see how that'd influence the outcome...

pls explain it to me in a more understandable way, thx.

bengineer, don't worry about that comment. Many people do guess the score contests and other contests, and it is perfectly fine. By examining that person's profile (and the comment), it is clear they haven't quite found out how how the site works.

nallukka
nallukka on Sep 25 '09
I like how at first glance, because of the hair (and not noticing whether there was a beard or just a shadow), Homer looks like George Washington's profile. With glasses. These could be any number of geeks who've been set in stone over time. Plato's hair could be a lil more defined as he had a very distinct head hair look from all scribblings I've seen...
nallukka
nallukka on Sep 25 '09
Pericles also could have his face hair a bit more defined. I'd dare put this on something like pale gray with the blue or even a dark gray if it prints. NOT digging baby blue--it just doesn't do it justice--all washed out.
bengineer
   bengineer on Sep 25 '09
Thx! @ nalluka: i think in your second post you meant aristotle since pericles isn't even on the shirt :P i tried it on a grey shirt but didn't like it too much. gotta say that you're the first one considering light blue not fitting...



@ALL: Thx so much for all those nice comments, scores & guesses so far :) This is the last day, keep 'em coming!
D-Alien
D-Alien on Sep 25 '09
heh great! if you plan to use white too, can make some white blinks as on the broken glass. to give more realism, and that some of the glasses are broken :) otherwise great!
