If people give me some advice on things they don't like on this one, I'll re-do it better, (by re-do I mean fix up) but this is just to show the idea. Ambiguous: is he flying or falling... I say he's flying. Free! Free at last! Open to interpretation. I'm not so sure about the building. Anyway, I like shirts w/red&black&white so yeah, but this could easily convert to a 1-color design as well.

The bottom of the building is a little akward, but I like the concept.

excellent shirt.

yea work on the bottom

love the concept, fix the building

Maybe if you want to keep the bottom of the building a clean line, you should move it to the bottom of the shirt.

maybe you could add a little extending outline to just the botton and side of the building that are clean. The pants also liik a little weird...like his knees are bent backwards or something. The top of the briefcase also looks a little too straight. Dont take me wrong, though, i really like it.

reminds me of people jumping off the world trade center..

if u put it on the lower left corner, id buy it

would have been dope pre 9/11

I think it's great how it is, and would proably by it, but I would like it more if the building were extended or completed... would be cool to if there were some onlookers at the bottom of the shirt pointing to the sky

change hte bottom somehow and then id buy it

Yeah. The building needs to go on. I am jiving with the message right now in my life.

Really like the red black and white..and the placement of the design elements.

My 1st thought was that he has jumped and is falling. But casting off the ties that bind us to heaven and earth could allow one to fly...I think the position of the building reads very well as Roof Top and adds to the design nice work maybe minamizing the white in the building would make it a bit better

i love it, the only thing i can imagine changing is to make the papers closer to the suitcase

are you, like, jamiroquai in disguise?

thanks for all the comments everyone. I've done 3 new versions with various fixes for the buliding- please tell me whether you like the changed versions more or less, and if you like them more, which one you like the most. My personal favorite is the 1st one because it looks less unnatural. Anyway, in the case that I re-upload this submission, with various improvements (mostly this) I will use the one that people say is the best.

thanks everyone!



PS, no, I just really like that song so I decided to use it as a title.

PS there is not supposed to be any 9/11 reference here, just to avoid any confusion.

i really like it......id wear it but it does remind me of jumping....fix the bottom cuz the building ends too abruptly.....mayb just like at the bottom put like the word "FREEDOM" or somthin else so ppl dont take it the wrong way....5

loose the building. otherwise a 5

i love this shirt. ijust think the building sould be on the bottom

Yeah I gotta go with the first one that you fixed. The image looks awesome, and you fixed the building, but his knees look like they're going the wrong direction. Other than that 5 & buy.

Most, most excellent. Of the 3 fixes, I like the first one best. However, and I know some of the regulars around here have serious hatred for frames, but have you tried placing the image within a circle? It would solve the awkward cutoff of the building, and you could have the Guy breaking the circle, thus adding to the message.



Whatever you decide, nicely done.

the first fix is the best one, I'd definatly buy this!!!

I like the colors...dont change that...it's just like the way the building jsut ends is whats getting me...I dunno, I dont know how good it'll look with it going all the way to the bottom but...yeah do whatever but I like the concept and design.

-Charles-

i think itd look cooler if the figure was more horizontal.

lol ahahaha if anybody here watches wrestling here then it looks like chris benoit jump off the top turnbucke and doing the flying head butt but in other words, very nice suicidly shirt and very creative

i like this idea a lot but i agree with some people on the bottom of the building that's all

If you were to move the image to a bottom corner, I would go with the second one.

i would move the image to the bottom left corner. it'd look awesome there... 4

Now thats PARKOUR

WOW lovely...I just killed myself...$$$ - 5.

I'd only buy it if the building were at the bottom of the shirt, in the left. I love the design though.

i like

5 $

I concur with Systolic. It really does look like he's free-falling from a skyscraper. I'll give you a 5 anyway

Yeah, put the design at the bottom. That would look great and solve all your problems! 5 + $

awsome, aagghh so awsome

If you have to go with one of your fixes, the third is the best, but I like the building how it is now except you should extend it to be longer and move it to the bottom left, so it cuts off with the tee but the guy is still almost in the same position on the shirt.

Well thats just my 2 cents, great tee! (5$ with changes, 5 now)

swan dive example two stood out to me above the others.



I don't think you've quite solved the problem of the building's bottom, but the new building perspective adds a whole new dynamicism to your design. It changed where you are viewing the jump occur, and it makes it much more interesting.



Back to the bottom of the building, I don't think that the bottom you chose for example 1 would work for example 2. example 1's bottom works the best of the 3 with the repetition of the triangular movement. You should be hesitant about trying that same cut for example two because it is already so dynamic.



I suggest tweaking the bottom of the 2nd one. I'm not liking the left and right thin black lines, though. They won't help the design.



At first I thought that I would never wear a shirt like this. The design was good, but a bit lacking, and the subject matter also put me off. Now, though, the new dynamic element added to example 2, along with the building taking up a smalle part of the picture plane make this one a very nice design, and a very nice shirt. I'd wear it.

Something I wanted to add about example 2 to be clear. The cut cut of the building at the bottom is great. I wouldn't change the size of the building, just the bottom and side edges.

LOL.....sweet
