nice

LoyalSubject on Aug 26 '05

I agree

cocothe cowfish on Aug 26 '05

i think the apple should be more proportional to the tree. good idea though. ^ ^

Not a Surfer Rosa on Aug 26 '05

I think the point, cocothe cowfish, is that the apple has fallen far from the tree, rather than conforming to "the apple never falls far from the tree."

Oooh I want it. :)

love it. 5

Nice idea but the bubbles are annoying. Could you make them somehow
less central?

HuLaGiRl on Aug 27 '05

i like it and keep the bubble where they are...but perhaps it would be better if the apple wasnt in the foreground, but next to the tree, only far enough away so it can be seen as "the apple falls far from the tree" i like it tho and would buy it as is...

I wanted the nose! :( Ah well...maybe you could put the nose back sometime, but I love the idea and the illustration. Still gets a 5$ from me, in all hopes that he'll get a nose again.

Geoff G on Aug 27 '05

Your illustration style is b-e-a-utiful. Your trees are awesome. So yea, $.

Pure and simple. I would've stuck with the face on the apple (personally), but you've still got my score. 5$

Fyda on Aug 27 '05

The apple grew and grew until it far surpassed its father.

I love this design. 5.

bobfrompikecreek on Aug 28 '05

Umm no Fyda. The apple fell far from the tree, contrary to the saying.

theamazingrain on Aug 28 '05

i love this $5

_kapow on Aug 28 '05

i think the apple should be next to it...? it seems big.

bombshield on Aug 28 '05

its in the foreground where it should be.

mycellardoor on Aug 29 '05

extrapinksugar on Aug 29 '05

wow. i love it. $5!

_crossthis on Aug 29 '05

I like it on the grey color you have it enlarged on.

emo_kitty on Aug 29 '05

This is fantastic. I'd buy this. Good design.

nawapol on Aug 30 '05

i like the idea but i htink type does not match to the design...... so may consider using hand writing type or somthing.... and fix the tree and apple a bit.... but i really like the idea though good luck

butterflu on Aug 30 '05

I love it.
Lovelovelovelovelove it.
Amazing.
I want this shirt.

whisper in water on Aug 30 '05

It's a great idea, and I love it! A few suggestions:
I'd like to see the apple as far back as the tree, but way off to the side. Far from the tree, still, but to the side instead of at the front. Because it does look slightly odd for the apple to be so very, very large...
Also, I'd change the speech bubbles so the tree's was on the left & the apple's was on the right. Since we read from left to right, it would be easier to understand.

bombshield on Aug 30 '05

good input , whisper

jimmiiko on Aug 30 '05

nice design., simple and cute

callthepriest on Aug 31 '05

Maybe you should make the apple be in proportion with the tree. But I still like it. Creative. 5

H Magoria on Aug 31 '05

I really like it, but I agree with what's been said about the font being kind of boring and not matching the design...it aldo bothers me that in the "We're nothing alike" bubble, all of the words are aligned to the left.

love your color choices too...overall very creative :o)

SoCDinosaur on Aug 31 '05

I think the apple should be far away to the right or left of the tree, and does it NEED the speech to portray the message? I think maybe just visible text,saying, "We are not alike." Maybe on the sleeve..? Or below the tree?

bluegirl1707 on Sep 01 '05

well liked the tree and the apples, but not the font or the speech bubbles... if you work on that then ill consider it a 4ish or 5. but i sure do love those apples since my last name is apple. hah

bombshield on Sep 01 '05

the font is fine. its VAG rounded. Its approachable and a friendly alternative to your cliche helveticas which I usually save for posters and more designed materials. I stand by my choices whole-heartedly as a designer and intelligent typographer.

moshimoshi on Sep 02 '05

Font & bubbles are great-- place the apple to the left of the tree slightly in the foreground (nearly the same plane and make only a little larger than the other apples). Kudos.

Sonata on Sep 02 '05

I absolutely love the idea but it just looks really really ugly.

bombshield on Sep 02 '05

wow. that was certainly constructive.

HotBot on Sep 02 '05

agreed with whisper. $4
