About my design

by Thomas Magnum
I'm sure that Jesus was different from his classic/ideal image. I've made this one just to remember me and you that what we suppose to know is not always the truth.

(man, I'm so serious today...)

Tell me how does it feel.

I really like it. very creative, but the main focus seems to be in the bottom right corner, which is cool, but... the cruci.fiction in the middle kind of confuses things. i like it by itself, but i don't think the way it's set up they could go together- i'd probably buy it regardless

That the best. Great concept and great way to say it with graphics.

I'd buy it for sure. 5 man!

intelligent but im offended.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 15 '05
may I ask why?

I want to talk about our bogus prophets, "our" prophets, who talk about present and future telling us what to do. Television, radio, news...You see the cross, is a tv antenna.

Media crucified the truth. This was my interpretation. And because of this I called this shirt "cruci.fiction".

So, "and many bogus prohets will come" is from the Bible, if I'm not wrong, is Jesus himself who say it.

I hope you misunderstood, because I don't want to offend, I try to make people think and talk about a personal interpretation.

Well done'ish. Get rid of the text and give Jesus a smiley face.

i'd buy it just to ship them out by the dozen to televangelists.

Not sure if he actually used the word "bogus" but it's close enough. Change it to "false" and it would be near exact.







Giving Jesus a smiley face is a dumb idea. I surely doubt anyone who got crucified would smile while in such pain.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 15 '05
lol apryl, real.

Thanks for your feedback guys. With this concept I've won the Plug 'n Pray t-shirt contest (the tee was more simple) but I still don't see the prize -_-' so, well, here it is vers.2.0, updated for the threadless people.

Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 15 '05
Yes rock. I know that probably "bogus" is not the word on the Bible (I'm italian)...I think that "false" or "fake" works as well.

I'm not so sure this would be a good choice for a threadless shirt, very religious based. :-/

very religious based?

pls someone read what i wrote to answer to maurielle...

I would not never thought that it was so hard to comunicate...

this is totally badass. I would prefer it without the text, because the image is so striking by itself.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 16 '05
i'd prefer to insert the "fiction" word because of my first intentions to read in a new way the word "crucifiction".

KEMMLER on Feb 16 '05
cool... pretty edgy which I guess is a big deal around here.
lovejolt
lovejolt on Feb 16 '05
i get the message but still i don't think many people would want it, as the image of the crucifixion tends to make people jump to conclusions no matter what. it's too shocking for people to want to read into it.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 16 '05
I tought that we were smart enough to go deeper and love it for the message that's not the usual "I'm better than you" or "how stylish" that we can see in many places.

Do I go wrong? hope not.

carynikins on Feb 16 '05
i think it's witty...

im not offended, but it makes sense that people would be



but what's the point of free speech/art if you can't offend someone now and then? keeps them thinking.



i feel like you could have left off the subtext, and simplify the graphic..

still a 5

Overall, I like it, but the logo and the graphic don't seem to mesh well. It really feels like the former was just slapped on as an afterthought. I think it should either go, or be more cleanly integrated.

i don't like it . Bogus? rethink your word choice. Looks like you just used threshold on some picture...

You're overdoing it. Oh and stop trying to be clever.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 17 '05
I "AM" clever, schjetne.

Yes Rise, I'll rethink y word choice. Threshold on some picture? great. so it would be better if I use some blood, birds and deers and everybody will be happy, mtv generation.

although I am surprised that this shirt scored so highly... right, i'm over it.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 18 '05
no problem, Sammy. You don't have to like it.

If I've shaked your mind it's just a good result, believe me. :)

Maybe it's highly scored because, as I said, there's not drops, monkeys or bucks, anyway, it's nice to see it.

um the pole that is going through his feet looks wierd to me ...though i am a very religious(although not in the anthropomorphic god that is common in thinking that people who are religious have to believe in ) so i would not wear this shirt...because naturally i dont believe that jesus was the son of god (because i dont believe in that kconcept of god) so i dont think the media or whatever crucified the truth...but besides my whole reason why i wouldnt wear this shirt...i think that you gave this much more thought into the concept of the shirt than many on here do and a very good hook( im refering to cruci.fiction line...it rather hooks the person into the shit in order to get themthinking about what the text means with the graphic)(and maybe you meant this shirt in a totally non-religious sense but i cant see how it could be interpeted any other way if that is jesus on there)
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 19 '05
Thanks Des, i've really appreciate your feedback.

respectful on your kind of religiousity (same for me, i believe that Jesus and his message let us see a way to live to turn this world on a real sense, son of God or not) all I can say is that I've made this one to shake minds, I know that much people do not want to wear this for fear, faith or simply shame to the others but I've done what I want to do: express my personal vision of informations and facts sold as the Truth to kneel down, while Truth is hard to find (or killed). To make this I've chosen to use a strong and deep concept of truth accepted by many and play with the word that identify it, putting the word "fiction" inside.

That's all. Again, thanks.

the design is really tight but i would want to see it without the text and maybe a different color tee; other wise its badass 5+
the.terror
the.terror on Feb 19 '05
maybe move the text to the sleeve or the back of the tee? but i think it looks great the way it does.



the concept of this shirt is really awesome. way to stand up for your beliefs! i applaud your efforts to create something deeper with more meaning. it maybe "just a tee," but what else is fashion besides reflections of what we believe in and who we are :D
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 19 '05
You've said it perfectly, terror, perfectly.

im really sorry if i made you feel like you had to stand up for your beliefs ...that wasnt my intention at all...i was just stating why i wouldnt want to wear it personally...(which is probably something you have no interest in ;p)...though i must apologize in the fact that i misinterpeted what you were trying to come across with. and i agree with you that most wont wear this for fear but i thank you for getting me thinking more...and you did a good job of shaking peoples minds you have 50 comments!

Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 20 '05
Yes Des, you don't have to apologize, I've only wanted to explain better what I've thought to make this tee graphic.

Thanks again and yes, 50 comments is really unexpected!

Would be better with better text or no text at all... Still a 4.

Change "bogus" to false (I know, it's been mentioned), move the text down just a little bit, and maybe just get rid of the two Jesus figures in the background.
staticscream
staticscream on Feb 21 '05
From a kid who goes to a christian college,( yes I Basically live in a bubble, but thats beside the point), I think this shirt is amazing, regardless if you're religious or not it really makes you think. I would so buy this shirt just to see the reaction from the students and profs at my school. I applaud you my friend, way to dig a little deeper with your design. I do agree that it would be better w/ out the text, there is more symbolism without it and thus, a deeper meaning.
Thomas Magnum
Thomas Magnum on Feb 21 '05
I really appreciate those feedbacks. Surely I'll make a 2d version soon and I'll take care of what everybody said. (Only if you promise me to vote again like this, or more ^__^)
