Is he holding a peanut? I can't tell. this design is kind of bland. I want more!

Can't tell what the elephant is doing. His legs look a little rubbery. Nice idea though.

Brilliantly simple. Don't change anything.

Shouldn't the elephant be a little bigger compared to the man? Otherwise i think its quite funny :)

lovely idea. lovely colors.

Very cool. I do think, however, that the elephant should have more than two legs. :p



I'm also kind of confused about what's going on; it would make sense if the elephant was jumping on/at him, but right now it looks like he's falling from the sky. So I'd suggest either a change to a more horizontal axis or some sort of clarification as to what's going on.

well it is confusing i guess....

the guy picks up a peanut wondering why hes got a peanut, and an elephant is falling from the sky on him



so, uh.... yeah

i think its funny

heh

would it makes more sense if there were a bunch of peanuts falling from the sky with the elephant?

I really like the design, but the shirt color is so dark that you can't really see it. Perhaps a different color?

i like the idea..but it does need more.

its a bad placement... needs to be a little off center or something.. but yes, i do like the concept.

the elephant thing isn't so great. i don't like this shirt too much. it's kinda like "get it? the elephant's gonna fall on him! he's got a peanut! most people would show the colision but since i'm artsy i'm just gonna show an elephant falling! i rule so much!!"



maybe's i'm just being an asshole.

i say, put it on a lighter shirt, maybe light yellow or green. and maybe lower it a bit and put a parachute attatched to the elephant to show that hes falling, or speed lines above him perhaps. i dunno, i got it the first time, these people are too picky. i thought it was funny.

i agree with the design on a lighter shirt, but i still love the design. awesome.

the placement is my only dislike. Make it more off-center, and you've got yourself a deal.

i agree with the off-center and would like to see a little dimension / perspective / depth on the elephant



i'm into the concept it's pretty fun.

Agreeing with off-centering it and adding a little more depth to the elephant, also I'd suggest giving a bit more clarification as to whether or not he's falling.



Unless of course you're not meant to know, which is equally cool.

I love the graphic, but the shirt colour could be brighter.

The elephant needs at least 2 more legs. And maybe if you made it look like the elephant was leaping towards him, right now it looks like he was dropped from an airplane directly over the man.

funny design, I like it

Dr. Revolution on Aug 31 '04
haha, awesome design. i think maybe you should play around with the placement a little, like make it lower or a little off center. i don't know. again looks great

i like this. whoever said you should make it look like the elephant is jumping - doesnt really get it. to me, its cartoon humour. a falling elephant is funny enough. you dont have to give reason for him falling. it just happens.



agree that the colour is a bit bland though. personally, i like khaki shirts, if you were thinking of changing it. ;)



other than that, good job. i give u a 4.

this is a great concept, pretty much i'd mess with the placement. either lower it and/or move the elephant so it isnt directly above the man. I'd love this in a lighter color, khaki, light blue or green.



thumbs up!

really creative and you pulled off the 'im so simple i must be cool' look, since it pulls your eye lengthways, you should move the graphics to either side rather than down the middle. i'd buy this.

The elephant could be a bit bigger.

Otherwise, it's an awesome shirt. I'd buy it.

Have the elephant falling feet up, with a few extra peanuts falling around it, and bigger. Otherwise great!
Ketchupman
Ketchupman on Sep 01 '04
awesome! give the elephant four legs and MAYBE try some kind of motion line thing to show hes falling and mot floating?
