About my design

by eskimokiss   
This ones for JC.

Trying something different here.

Yes that is a bullet hole, and a pool of juice (sorry JC, I couldn't do away with all the generic conventions )

I was thinking that I like the idea of an orange for this contest, but they said in the guidelines that they wanted something in the style of those films, and I don't think this is really. Like I said, though, I like the idea of something different from the others. I don't think you need the IFC logo to be on the back when you already have it on the front though. You could maybe just define it a bit more. Also, when I first saw it, I didn't read the image as an orange. I thought it was some sort of monster with something coming out of it's belly. lol

It took me a secound to see the IFC, which is nicely done. I do think the Orange needs a texture or pattern on it to add interest and help it stand out a bit from the liquid.

It also reminds me of my "How Silly" Submission that just got finished scoring.

nooooo! this was my idea! well...sort of



I still like it though =o) It's a nice departure from all of the blood, guns, and naked women that seem to be dominating the competition.

Iwouldbejosh : I've tried to make it in the style of the films. Not only is it an obvious play on words,the orange is lying in it's own pool of juice (blood) with a bullet hole through its 'head'. Clearly borrowing from the 'gangsta' genre of 'pulp indie classics'



bortwein: I hadn't seen 'How Silly' till now, and I don't see how this is similar.

god damn. i just got my submission declined because my image was corrupted or something. i thought i was gonna be the first to do an orange design. :(

Nice job, ek. I'd agree with comments above that texture on the orange would make it more readable as an orange first. And I'd also agree that it's fun to put the text on the back, but not necessary. Very nice, original design!

Not saying you copied mine, I was just saying that the liquid form kind of looks like how I did my putty in my submission. I never anything bad about that, just saying a random comment. I like yours better anyway.

I think you need to add some pulp, and get rid of the pulp free juice.

I absolutely love this. Puts an ironic twist on the word "pulp", and the IFC letters are cleverly hidden. i love how there's the complementary design on the back of the shirt. Looks fantastic on the dark gray shirt.



I think the orange looks too much like a puking head. The eye of the orange looks too much like an eye, but maybe the purpose of this is to look like somebody's head? Not sure...

Maybe make the orange larger, and add some subtle orangepeel details, or make the juice puddle smaller or more horizontal because, yes, it looks like a fat orange man puking.



Other than those small details I think this is very well drawn!
