About my design
by 3LJ
Hey All \o/

Larger Version of the design:
http://www.3lj.co.uk/images/sunshine2.gif

(Sumbission shows placement idea, but isnt to detailed on the actual design, see the above link for that)

(It's on shirt colour gold, it seems a lot brighter in real life than it does from the template)

It's sunshine in loads of different languages, making up the suns rays, im hoping that the spelling/words are right, i went through quite a few translators to check, if they arn't, post corrections below i guess.

I appreciate any comments / advice / improvements :-)

I love this idea.....sun is so sustaining to humans everywhere. I like the fact that there is not another word between sol and sunshine. It adds complexity. Great job!

hey again \o/

Aye, i thought of that too, and tried putting a few words at the top, but decided it looked better without a word there, sort of gives the t-shirt more a downwards sunshine ray feel ... well, thats my exscuse for now :-P

If you can find a few words for 'sunshine' that are short, in any language, i can have a go at putting them there, and link that so you see if thats any better / you prefer it ? Who, knows, it may look better / improve the design, but i only had insanely long foreign words left, so any ideas people?

haha, i knew it would happen, im sorry, can be easily changed i guess, apolgoies if anyone is offended, please, if anyone else spots any mistakes, do tell me, so i can create an updated version to post here

im guessing the whole i before e except after c rule doesnt apply in german :-/

its a great idea and i like it, I reckon you dont need another word between sol and sunshine as it would be to close to the neck.

so weird i just did a sketch similiar to the way the sun is drawn.
i suppose nothing is original anymore.
but i like this.
what is sun in hebrew?
that might look cool between sol and sunshine...
3LJ
3LJ on Jan 03 '06
ok, anyone know any hebrew, i found one site after much looking that came up with :

????, ????; ???-???

(if that comes out) anyone know if its all of them? just one?

thanks

3LJ on Jan 03 '06
ah, bugger, didnt work, never nimd :-(

ive found it in esperanto though, will put it in in that (with corrected spelling, and you can say yay or nay)
3LJ
3LJ on Jan 03 '06
ok, ive added in a few more words to fill in the gap, let me know, better worse?

think the languages are esperanto and czech :-/

ok, heres the placement

and heres the enlarged version:

http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/9048/sunshinenewwithmore9kb.gif

my only conern is the flipped order, if that makes any sence, maybe if there was a symbol language (like the japanese one), that doesnt matter which way round it is ?

ignore if that makes no sence to you, but still, let me know what you think \o/

any other colour you would prefer it on?
i can change the background colour and show you how it looks?
i thought gold worked, but if i you think another, do say, so i can experiment :-)

i love the original and i love the updated version more, i wouldn't know if anything's spelled wrong, but i hope it get's printed. $5

I wish the alphas in the Greek text looked more like alphas and less like As, and that the accent on the first alpha looked more like an accent and less like a dot (it looks fine in the closeup, but from a distance isn't going to be confusing). And you should check to make sure it's pointing the right way.

I think this shirt will be awesome once all the little language problems are worked out.
3LJ
3LJ on Jan 05 '06
ooh, i see what you mean about alpha

http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/greek/gr1.gif

yeah, my bad, i thought it was just an a shape, but finding an enlarged version, it is a lot more, curvey and different, ill make a changed version, and also do one with a more defined accent)

i knew there would be little probles with the languages, so thanks for helping me find them :-)

Very cute! $5
I don't care that yellow looks crap on me.. but i think it would be more striking on another colour maybe..

In Hebrew, the word for sun is shemesh (shin, mem, shin in the hebrew alphabet) and sunlight is or-shemesh (aleph, vav, resh-shin, mem, shin).

Great shirt!

Hey all

First off, in responce to different colours, i have pasted it on some different ones (beware this is a 700 k file) but look here

http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/5001/all6in.gif

any of them look better to you? let me know :-)

secondly, thanks PogoBryan, i may swap round one of the other ones, and put shemesh in, to add a bit more variety, im in the processes of sorting out the alphas in the greek at the moment, so hopefully will have another update out soon, either way, look at the above, and let me know what colours you like ?

it reminds me of McDonalds take-out bags where it says "I'm lovin' it" in about 800,000 different languages.
I like it, very bright and shiny.

Like the idea. Yellow on yellow is a bit blinding, though. I don't know, maybe the sun itself will look brighter and sunnier if it is against a darker background color.

I would only buy this if everything was accurate in spelling. I wouldn't want to look like a dumb-ass.

hey sad sad/alexa_sugarmous

if you read the comments, youd see someone else pointed out the mistake, and i had corrected it in a revised version i made, youd also see i wrote

" im sorry, can be easily changed i guess, apolgoies if anyone is offended"

so apologies again, as you do seem to come under that catergory :-)
prehaps take a look at that one

http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/9048/sunshinenewwithmore9kb.gif

and let me know if you see any other mitakes?

as far as i can tell there are none other mistakes (apart from the alpha in greek which im correcting)

and i don't think i look like a dumbass, i asked for help, as i admited there would be some mistakes, and asked people to point them out to me, so thank you to those people :-)

hey all

well. my first sumbission comes to end if a few hours i think, so what can i say, i think its gone well, i half expected it to get taken off for low votes after a day, but its survived, so im probably most pleased about that.

I finally managed to get round and do a final version, with correct greek lettering (and correct spelling of sonnenschein aswell, in case your going to post a comment about that), so here it is:

http://img445.imageshack.us/img445/3770/sunshinenewwithmoregree5qr.gif

enjoy, and now its just sitting back and wait for the final result :-D

1.77

Well, despite being low, im quite pleased with it, it could of been a hell of a lot worse, and i know its not perfect, but its a start none the less.

Thank you everyone for your votes and comments, and now i have a score to aim to beat for my next design :-D

See you around :-D
