About my design

Just the facts, Max!

i like the low contrast...looks like a well worn shirt,

it looks like the bone on the right is missing a condial...

and it might be cool if the bottom words were in latin, or better yet hebrew or even greek...

Great design. I especially like your choice of fonts, in particular across the top.

I don't think a religious shirt like this will ever win (obviously not counting Friends Forever as its a parody), because it's way too specific.Most non-religious people probably don't want to wear something like this, so there's not the audience for it.



I do think you've designed it quite nicely though.

This is the least sucky of the religion shirts I've seen in a while. Nice, but it's still a religion shirt. Bleh.

Great message being communicated.



Here's my constructive criticism :



I wish the "i" in Faith had a dot at its

top like the "i" in without does.



The "w' in works looks like an "m".



The lower right hand corner cross bone

is missing its purple color. The way it

looks now makes it seem to be empty space.



Excellent color choices, design size, and

location on shirt.



I'm looking forward to seeing more

designs from you.

Good eye(s) Luke & helo in regards to lower right part of the bone.

The dot in the "i" in faith is there, it just got covered by the other elements.

Easy fix if THREADLESS decides to print it.

I praise HIM for all your positive feedbacks!

Thank you!

oh yes. now a way to shove my catholicism in everyone's face. (seriously, i get tired of being called a sexist and a pedaphile, so eat this suckers.) plus it just rocks. 5 and buy and a hail mary!

You know, I usually really hate it when people where religious t-shirts. People should be able to tell that a person is different from the rest of the world without having "S8ter for Jesus" across their chest.



But...I actually like this shirt very much. It's...no t the norm that you usually see with shirts that convey this type of message.



And the graphic is rather neat, something that the everyday person would like.

I don't get it, but I guess I don't care to if I have to read the bible to "get it."



But it's an alright design--dark purple on black's eh.

What if you tried using the grey and making highlights in the skull?

or that green color?

Thats my 2 cents.

Its awsome the way it is buts i gots to add my 2 cents.

The center image is too dark for my eyes, and there is not enough contrast in the overall image.
Hoborg
Hoborg on Sep 18 '05
This kicks ass. I love the low contrast and everything.



Just because the phrase comes from the bible dosent mean that non-religious peoples can't relate to it at all. I think its just because it is cool to hate christians unless they are sufjan stevens.

I love how the tables turn; whenever some bush=nazi or "no oil for blood" B.S. makes its way onto threadless the little liberal clones say stuff like "people won't except this, it's to real" or some such madness--yet when its something like this of ultimate truth--they are the first to judge. I think it's alright.

I love it. I would buy it. I would wear it. Proudly.



Though I think the "Faith without works" would look better a little more gothic.



Awesome.



James 2

17: In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

26: As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

to new noise :



here's some info to help you see

where this design is coming from :



A Jew named James who was alive during the

first century A.D. is the author of the sentence,

"Faith without works is dead." This sentence is

found in a letter he wrote that was collected

along with other letters and various writings.

The collection is known as the Bible .

umm, . . . this might be one of the worst designs i have ever seen...ever. what the hell are all of you thinking? aside from the message, this design is horrible. it's as if there was no thought put into it at all. just some shit ripped from the bible and placed into a semi-hip enviornment. it's sooooooo ironic. it's soooooo indie. blah blah blah. go to an art school. learn not insult the rest of us by pretending we're idiots.

ahhh your telling this guy to go to art school?

Thats a joke right?

You where having a bad day and you went to this shirt to vent first that has to be it right?

I mean obviously if you went to some other shirt first you would have said the same thing, right?

I mean I said the same thing when I pulled up a David Bowie shirt with invisible hands and Tron laser beams going through him.

Oh wait already went through a bunch of shirts already.



Not to be mean but if you had the same person in the David Bowie shirt and the one in this one who do you think would get there butt kicked?

Be honest..an aggressive black shirt sporting a skull or a powder blue shirt with David Bowie on it?



Besides the beat up factor this shirt is good.

(LOSMATTOCKS - you stole my thunder.)

I didn't even get that it was David Bowie - I thought maybe it was David Copperfield making his hands disappear. Even so, I'd like to know what art school wouldn't take this guy over the other.



I think this is descent. Much better than alot of stuff I've scored today.
Hoborg
Hoborg on Sep 20 '05
what are you talking about that david bowie shirt is pure genius!



As for this shirt, it needs more arbitrary lines and that skull should just be a poorly rendered dotted outline. CMON THEY TEACH YOU THAT DAY ONE OF ART SCHOOL.
jackanapes
jackanapes on Sep 20 '05
hoborg, i remember a lot of comments you posted about other shirts. it seems we tend to agree. and the fact that you like sufjan stevens only makes you cooler. not as cool as this shirt. but still cool. incidentally, what beef does "jesseisorad" or what-the-fcuk-ever have with jesus? i mean, if you don't believe jesus was God, okay, but how can you hate a guy whose basic message was "look, just stop being douchebags all the time and try to be nicer to each other"? i mean, how could you possibly think this guy was bad? also, how can you think the message here is bad. i mean, if you say you BELIEVE in helping people out, but then you NEVER do, that essentially makes you a liar. this shirt needs to be printed on moral grounds alone.
