I really like this.

I'm not sure where you got "out of the library" from though...? I'm pretty sure that liber doesn't mean library, that's bibliotheca...

Ex libris usually means "from the library of" (like ex libris Smithsonian, or whatever) but I think your meaning here is totally clear. I really like this.

I don't have a great memory, so maybe I'm wrong, but this reminds me of Reading Rainbow for some reason. Was there a flying book on that? Hmm.....I don't remember. Anyway, pretty cool, 4

Seems like "out of the library of" or "from the library of" are pretty much the same thing to me - nice execution! I like books.

i am in love with the yellow.

chuckoochuckoo on Apr 16 '06
I really like it. It shows just how gorgous reading can be. I think it gives bookworms something to brag about, because reading does really make you fly. ( I know, cheesy - whatever)
maggock
maggock on Apr 16 '06
$5! (this is partly influenced by that fact that I work at a library.) ;>

Maybe yellow for girls and blue for guys?

Anyway, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$5

I've studied latin for years and imo ex libris is [no (way "out)] of the library". Nice, however.

Verdana on Apr 17 '06
Yeah, apologies to all the scholars in here. I don't study Latin, and the blurb wasn't meant to be a literal translation (if it were, I wouldn't have given two versions of the phrase in English.) It just tries to explain the thought process that took me from "this book belongs to me" to "Would it not be FREAKING AMAZING if books could fly?"

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone.

Pixel_Pixie on Apr 17 '06
This is really pretty. I love your style. I also like how you really paid attention to how the design looks from a distance. Nice.

I kinda wish the latin fit just as well as the rest of it does too though. Maybe you could use a different phrase - maybe use a different language. It is just so tight otherwise.

But this shirt is really really pretty
Verdana
Verdana on Apr 18 '06
Well, again, I know it's not a literal translation. It's more a representation of the English understanding of the phrase.

when i exit the library i usually feel that expansion of fresh air and trees and birds singing and realize all that are in books are dead words
i like your illustration in the block where the book flies off the best

It makes me squee!

Both colour schemes work really well. The yellow makes it look all happy (hence, the "squee") and blue gives a sense of freedom.
