would be more effective on a different shirt color. i think it looks bad on black.

maybe there should be only one switch with the brain on top and the heart at the bottom?

the angle of the switch makes the illustration look funny...straight on would be better

definitely white shirt, on black it's not so hot. Also, the angle makes it foreshortened, which is not the greatest. I agree with happywok11

I'd like to agree that the switch looks bad at that angle, but it's silly to think it would look better straight on... It would be harder to tell what it is without adding the "ON/OFF" engravings you see on a lot of switches, and I think ambiguity and lack of text works better. Good job :)

If you put the design on the left of the shirt then maybe the angle wouldn't look as funny. Either way, I completely disagree with the 'straight on' idea, it would look awful.

Do change the color of the shirt though. :)

Also, the white box might be a little too big, cut off a little bit from the bottom?

I like the idea though, really novel. 4.

I love it, I think it's awesome...sums up every single one of my days...heart's there and working, brain's dead!

I like the idea of a single switch with the brain at the top and heart at the bottom. (As mentioned prior.)

That said, I still think this is a great design. I give it a 5.

Very interesting. Well executed.



Change the color in the BG, and I'd buy.

white shirt, otherwise, i adore this

striaght on would be better.



ignore what people are saying about the white shirt.....i like it on black, or another bold dark color.

Heeeee. Like the idea.



I'm going to be repetitive and put in another vote for straight on - I do think it looks slightly odd at an angle. I don't much care about the colour of the shirt itself, as long as it's a neutral colour!

single switch is better

Awesome idea. I agree with most people in the background should be a different color, but not white. Perhaps a dark blue or the standard khaki?

Email me dude. I'm starting a clothing co., and wanna see some more of your stuff. Deathbylove76@gmail.com although...it seems very emo.

i like the angle, because straight-on wouldn't show the switches very well. it would just wind up being a bunch of little squares and rectangles. great concept though.
piratebootsmike
piratebootsmike on Mar 18 '05
Maybe if it was done right the straight on would work...give it a try this is a very good concept and deserves some experimenting so it comes off right... 4

Aijin on Mar 19 '05
I REALLY like the idea, but it just doesn't look right, maybe if it weren't on black, or if it wasn't tilted to that angle, if it were straight on, then it may look a little better, it just looks awkward on the shirt... too bad, because I LOVE the concept.

I personally would like to see it moved over the heart.

not really my cup of tea, but it's alright.

Clever.



I agree, it would be better on another shirt color. I think the heart and brain illustrations are obvious enough and don't have to rely on color, so you could really play with some more interesting color combinations. I also think the placement is lacking. I'd like to see it closer to a shoulder.

bscuarred on Mar 20 '05
very nice design. i guess i`d hafta see it straight, but the angle looks fine to me. it would look really good in a color other than black or white. i would wear it in green. =)

cool concept. but the angle of the lightswitch kindam kes the whole thing really unclear.

Very interesting concept, but i disagree with it on a black shirt. Throw it on a Kakki shirt or something and it would be much better. * * * *

lanicita on Mar 21 '05
It's 5 colors (white, black, grey, red, pink). Otherwise, I like it but I agree with MrPallarp about just having 1 switch.

This would look great as red and dark red printed on a pinkish shirt. Think Warholish. Or maybe a monotone scheme - greys and blacks on a light grey shirt... browns and brownish-greens on khaki. Neat concept.

my reply to yall so far ... thanks to thoes with positive, or at least constructice comments.



1. i like black shirts. i have one on right now ... everything threadless seems to do it on kahki, white shirts look cheep to me, pink? i'll admit ive got a pink dress shirt ... but no ... light shirts can bite me in general. and itd have to be on red, black, white, or pink to make 4 colors [the black lines are where theres no ink, so blach shirt shows...]



2. i made a straight on view to start with, it looked poopy.



3. that single switch idea is good. thanks.



4. browns and greens? its a lightswitch and organs ... how does that work?

Like it as is, but black is too dark...heather/sweatshirt grey and white would be most suitable. 5.



On another note, this shirt reminds me of the 2 Live Crew classic, Face Down Ass Up. Any possibility of seeing a light switch with those lovely icons?
derfreddy
derfreddy on Mar 22 '05
i like it.. but i dont think the organs should be colored

u should try light grey - for my sake

dear cajunre...



thats a hot idea.
crazymailan

mmm, i like this one a lot.

but 1. different colored shirt.

2. move it away from the center.

I like the idea of having a single switch, on side heart, one side brain. I think it would be more effective in it's message.



I really like the idea though. Tweaked, I would buy.

Alex M. Solefish on Mar 22 '05
I LOVE THIS I would buy it. i don't know if i like the fact that the switch plate (is that what it's called?)...well. i don't like the angle of vision. but, honestly, I don't care--the concept trumps my issue with the graphic.



5 $, definitely.
