About my design

by Stack
There are fewer colors on the template than there used to be. I\\\'m hoping those old colors are still available.

I like it but it seems like the image is a bit big.
Stack
Stack on Mar 25 '05
Yeah, it should probably be a little smaller...and positioned differently.

I like it. I like the placement, I like the choice of colors. Perhaps it's a bit big. But definitely a 4 and buy.

I like the print colors on the khaki. The balloon string is a little funky. Dude, do the paper airplane shirt! I'm done. Peace.

awww. I think you should move the boy down to the corner. that might look better. but its cute. i remember those days of letting go of balloons outside and them flying away leaving me crying.

I saw a movie called the Red Balloon. It was a movie in which the kid just chased his balloon all over the place. This could be a sweet tribute to it if you changed it to a red balloon. I would definately buy it then. Looks great though.

"The one that got away"...that's a Hawthorne Heights lyric...::sigh:: I love Hawthorne Heights and this shirt is good too....so you get a 5!

I based the 4 colors off of that green background color. It used to be a selection for shirt colors - and I wish it was now. If I wasn't stuck with 4 colors, I would have probably done red - but I think the black fits too.



I agree - the string is kinda funky - I might fix it up later.

I think I would rather the boy be in the bottom left corner - although I've played around with it and it just looks weird if the balloon is too far off. The position now is really just to show the colors against each other.

I like this one but I wish the balloon wasn't black and the kid had a different color besides darkish green.

What if the kid was at the bottom of the shirt, balloon at top? Or does that look too spaced out?

I love this! so great. I think it might be a bit large. Love it on the blue. Love the paper airplanes. 5 and $

if the ballon was red that would be awesome.

awesome design, just bring the graphic down a little bit on the shirt.
Stack
Stack on Mar 27 '05
I agree. I might re-submit it with different color combinations if that'll get it printed. I was kind of hoping Punching the Pope would stop by and insult it - oh well.

AhaShakeHeartbreak on Mar 27 '05
wait...so does it say "the one that got away" on there? or no? i'm confused. but if it said that on there, that'd be cool. but its pretty spiffy without it too. aw. the kid's gonna grow up and be Emo

Having the boy at the bottom would look good. I really like this. :)
Stack
Stack on Mar 27 '05
It doesn't say "The One That Got Away" anywhere. That's just the title.

i think it would look better if the boy's clothes and the ballon had some color, but otherwise i like it 5$

worst use of color ever

what would the best use be?

WOOOOOOO! This is absolutely awesome! Buy and a 5 whatcha! This is so cool. Just the message it sends and the essence of the loneliness that is captured in the lack of color and the boys figure. The total use of shirt creates an overwhelming feeling of distance and separation. Lovely stuff my friend. First rate, really. Lyrics are good, too. And, the remembrance of the movie is captured without the color and reminds people of it as it is. For the shirt, I say the blue or crimson!

i think that whilst the dull colors kind of represent the mood and emotion the poor kid is going through



the shirt on a whole could benefit from something bright and attractive as well

please dont be mad if my suggestion is stupid, but what if you just did a plain horizontal across the chest drawing, kinda where the boy is on one side and the balloon is floatin away to the other, and i duno im stupid

I think the shadow just looks like a hole the boy is going to fall into.



Poor little boy D:

This is one of the few shirts that doesn't get a zero. But, I think it could use some work. More detail in the figure and a rework of the shadow would help.
Stack
Stack on Mar 29 '05
thanks root-2. I really appreciate what you're saying, but I've been tinkering with the image incessantly and have found that extra detail just seems like clutter. At least to me, anyway. I've cleaned up the shadow a bit, but then I think there's a certain point where I should just quit messing with it - cause nothing I can do will make it perfect for everybody.

Ooo... almost classy.... i love it... definately buy it

I don't really like the shadows, particularly the one beneath the balloon. At first I thought it was a hole that the kid was going to fall into.

This is one of thems "quality" designs....



... oh, buddy, this one is rad.... and that dark red shirt color on the left is a GREAT color



I really, really, really, reall, really want this one

hooray4kelsey on Mar 31 '05
Ooh I really like this!

I think the boys should go in the corner and the balloon more over the heart.

I guess taht's what everyone else is saying too, eh?

But 5 and buy anyways. :D
