I really like the underground drill vehicle,

but not many are going to know what Letraset is.

And even if everyone was familiar with it,

does the concept/ design do a great job of grabbing

the viewer? I'm hesitant to say yes.

so here's the explaniation...in ancient times before computers were the necessary tools the are today designers worked with letraset, a plastic sheet that contained letters simbols...patterns whatever, this transfers where put on top of the paper and all you had to do is sketch over it with a pencil...voila! ready, i guess it's just a way to catch up with the old tools!

super-duper, you dont have to explain letraset to me. the cololurs are a bit conservative, you could go wild with this. I'd like day-glo orange print on a white tee.

it would be neat, if they were little pieces you could break off :)

it would be a different concept though, but you would do a good job at it. I like your little pieces. :)

it's cute, but there are too many things going on in the graphic. Perhaps, if there was some color, it would be better, and not look so hectic

This is a really nice design! It's a 5 and $ for sure but my only concern would be the printability of your fine strokes and detail. Would they get lost?



Inquiring minds want to know: what does it say above the little pencil at the top?

i'd love other colors tho, threadless has enough light blue tees...
ALIADOTONY
   ALIADOTONY on Jan 04 '06
any color you like!
ALIADOTONY
   ALIADOTONY on Jan 04 '06
i believe that threadless has the possibility of printing small details to a certain point just by looking where the size and designers name in the t shirt there are small letters...and perfectly seen

make it 1 funky color on a funky colored shirt and i'd be all over it...you don't need the white ink, just knock it out to the shirt color...it kinda ruins it in my eyes....

the best shirt i've seen so far today (sorry but that's not saying much)



i love it...



thanks for digging into my past... it scares me how much people are out of touch with art history (yes design falls into art history)



i just had to explain what a letterpress was on another submission

HOLY LETRASET! I love it.

As for colors, I really like how it looks with black (classic letraset) on gray/silver, as if the shirt is acting as the frosted transparent backing.

I absolutely love this andwould buy in a heartbeat. But Pastio, do you really think that letraset comes under 'art history'?! come on - its a tool, not a movement!
pdrewgibson
pdrewgibson on Jan 09 '06
Do you need to use white? Seems really unnecessary. Or, what if you used black and white inks but printed the shirt on grey? That might be cool.



Pretty groovy.
ALIADOTONY
   ALIADOTONY on Jan 09 '06
white on gray or just black either way i think i would look cool
pastio mcduff
pastio mcduff on Jan 09 '06
yes it is art history...

since when i art history just movement's?

as a professional designer i started my career comping everything under the sun with letraset... as a designer you couldn't work without it. i didn't say it was the greatest thing since gropius but it has it's place. just like the original mac is part of art history. it's a tool.

so when you're scrolling through the 10 billion fonts on your computer think about what it would be like to only have 5 typefaces at your disposal and you've used up all your "E"s in futura black!

hi Pastio, i'm one of those oldies who used letraset in my early days and i genuinely do look on it with frustrated affection. i still wouldn't place it high up on my list of art history however - i think i'll keep in the fond memory box along with cow gum, and reserve the tag 'history' for decent briefs and budgets!
ALIADOTONY
   ALIADOTONY on Jan 10 '06
i strongly believe that what pastio is referring too is the appreciation of design as art not just as a simple commercial work but something more profund!
