Type does not match design.
---
I think you should block the background colors out where the face is so it doesn't distract of what it is
---
Do you need that many colors for this?
---
Maybe different colors?
---
Monochromatic?
---
Colors are all wrong on this and the lines all have the same weight.
---
Person in front should be thicker background stuff should be thinner.
---
Of course this is my 2 cents.

this is amazing, dangerous shirt design, except the king of the jews caption totally wrecks it. Who wants to where that.....? I do, just get that king of the jews outta there

I don't get the link between the image and the text. Maybe there isn't one.

Would those teeny tiny lines print?

I do like the randomness of it though, but not the text.

maybe you should make the lines black and gray....

try a different font. i get the king of the jews thing, but that font is crap-crap.

get rid of king of the jews

i'm a jew but i wouldn't wear it like that

even though (i think) I get the king of the jews part, i still think it should go. it just doesn't work in the design.

it is so you know it is jesus.
but it is like a homeless person holding a sign telling what cripples them in society
bluehalios
bluehalios on Sep 28 '05
so your saying jews cripple society?

im very confused

and very insulted.

the design itself is hard to discern. and the measage is something only a hardcore christian could really apreciate.

i hate seeing msgs like this, as a jew, jesus is not my king, a wise figure yes, perhaps even a profit. but not a king of mine.

from what i understand of what i have read from the christian bible, jesus was farely egalitarian so this msg probibly would have offended him as well.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
from an artistic perspective, thicken up the lines on jesus, and thin out the other lines, and put it on a darker shirt. it would actualy look preaty dope like that. inless your trying to go for soemthing that would look cool under a blacklight, in which case experment with mixing thicker lines and pastel colors.

unless...

And this shirt is really offensive. Yes, that is a title that you hear tossed around for Jesus, but I don't think it is anything someone should be wearing on a shirt, especially if you can't immediately figgure out that it is Jesus on the shirt (which you can't). Unless the design and the reason for it hits you like a wall you can't have text that risky on a shirt.

i have nothing against jews at all.
but that is the title he gave himself and that is why he was crucified. and on the cross above him it read 'king of the jews'.
dang people freak out.
they think everything is about them, just chill
WestWasWon
WestWasWon on Sep 28 '05
i said he is crippled in society b/c he is a jew not that jews cripple society
blandford
blandford on Sep 28 '05
bluehalios- a hard core Christian wouldn't appreciate it either. the sign was posted above Jesus when he was crucified in order to mock him. he wouldn't be holding it, 'cause he never referred to himself as a king of anything, other people did.
But having said that, it's just a bad design regardless of what it says.

Mark 15
2"Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate.
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.

I get it. Or I think I do. If the new testament happened today, they would make him carry a sign like this.

i like the idea itself, and how you managed to sneak it into a shirt. do i think its offensive, not really, but as it is, the "king of the jews" pops out almost more than anything. id try to make a font or outlines of a font that looks like the marker on a sign that you are describing, so it blends in more seamlessly, instead of being a distraction.
turkeymonkey
turkeymonkey on Sep 29 '05
you are all missing the point.
it is a lame shirt. would anybody buy this?
no. threadless would not make a penny.
it is a weak design. it is ugly. who cares what it says.
it could say anything. most of the shirts on here do.
it gets a 1. i save zero for very special shirts.

weak design... but I love teh imgagry , and the whole principle of the shirt...Amen, West...

"ok maybe but turkeymonkey, lets see your shirts?! "

Hey. He/she/whatever doesn't have to design t-shirts to form an opinion on your t-shirt.

i love this shirt.
except that the person should be outlined bolder than the background image, && u should probably just get rid of the "king of the jewels". the shirt will look way better w/ out any writing on it. otherwise its pretty good.

king of the jews?

is that supposed to mean something?

i wouldnt do religion on threadless
yousansrofl
yousansrofl on Oct 02 '05
yeah, maybe you ARE stupid. Clearly, the blue outline is Jesus.

And, if you're offended you need a sense of humor.
Not only do we live in an age where people where 'JESUS IS MY HOMEBOY' t-shirts down the street as casually as they don Band Shirts and Billabong, but religion is a personal matter.
If you're offended, look away.
Don't buy the shirt.
Leave.

On an artistic note, I think it's fabulous. I showed it to my girlfriend and she was confused for a little bit until it came to her. I think the text does take away from the overall image, in a design sense, but nothing more.

My 6 year old nephew made the same shirt in arts n' crafts class.
The only other thing she needed was a fanatic to shit on it.

... :rofl: i love the way the name of Jesus gets people all stirred up. i mean, youi can tell someone to f*uck off, or something of the like (pardon my french), and they don't think twice about it. ha! but... mention the name of Jesus... yes, then you've really pissed someone off. <smiling> good... not that it's good to upset people, moreso, it shows that the even the name of Jesus, or even a reference to Him, has power. i mean, look at how everyone is all firery about this design, it's sooo offensive to some, and then amazing to others. the Bible says that the word of God devides like a sword... it either drives you towards him, or away... it either encourages and empowers, or angers and disgusts... which side do all of you fall on...?

...now, as for i think this design is pretty sweet. the whole Jesus holding the sign like a derelect is interesting... there's definately some rather intense symbolism going on here. i could do with some diff' colors, but prettysweet as a whole...

...and 'west was won', dude, way to step out in boldness. the fear of man is pointless. beside, do you really care what a gaggle of closet mtv fans thinks...?

...oh, thanks to those of you who leave intelligent, constructive critiques. you make everyone's art better...
