About my design
by teametc
Last minute entry, since i got an idea when I was thinking about the theme, and this is what i came up with, and since we couldnt use the logo i decided to make the umbrella red, its sort of abstract but not completely, Overall I\'m MUCH happier with the final version, it didnt start off so hot.
This could basically be used on any somewhat dark colored shirt but i think this is the best color of all the choices.
Anyways, hope to hear some constructive criticism or comments, good luck to all who entered.

I like it! It would be nice if the guy had two umbrellas,then he won't have to suffer as well; the fortunate helping the less fortunate sort of thing.

teametc on Apr 24 '06
i see what you mean, i only chose one umbrella because i thought it showed that he put others over himself. but i can see where two would make sense.

Brett F. on Apr 24 '06
no no, i like the one umbrella better.
this is one of my FAVORITE if not just plain favorite overall from the red cross

who carries two umbrellas?? nobody, that's who. also his having two might imply that he's only helping because he has an extra, if he only had one he might not.
but since he only has one, the point is clear.

nicely done.

i really like this and much as i hate barcode designs- this could have pretty funny if you had gone down that road.
teametc
teametc on Apr 24 '06
yeah after it was all done i thought about adding a 125 under the rain to look barcode esque...but then i opted against it.

the rain does look like a barcode from afar. ehh.

i like the rain on the bench
teametc
teametc on Apr 24 '06
thanks im very happy with that bench in general as i had a completely different bench head on view there...and it looked flat and bad so i drew that one from scratch in photoshop and changed the perspective on the sign to match it and i think it really helps the piece

It looks great! You're an amazing artist, I bet you're a freak in the sheets too.

This is a great idea for a shirt... and it works pretty well for the Red Cross, I think. The only real suggestion I have is to vary/lighten up the rain a bit more -- it's too overwhelming as is.

i enjoy this idea a lot but.... i think taht its all very the man rescues damsel-esque. the shirt and design is very cute and made me smile so much when i saw it, but i guess i'm more for breaking stereotypes. maybe having the lady holding the 'brella over aman? i donno...

I think it's a solid idea with a solid execution,plus you get bonus points for not being a threadless shirt covered in butterflies/birds/traced images from google/ and anything wearing headphones. Nice work!

I love it. Definitey a 5. Reminds me of those charming old movies, but still goes with the theme. Subtlety is a plus with this one.

Cinnamongir1 on Apr 25 '06
Easily a 5. It's full of meaning without being sappy, the use of hearts/the world. It's one Red Cross entry I'd wear.

I like it alot, concept is on point. Your angles are very well defined, this tee needs to be printed.

where would we be without selfless men? not pushing around a pram whilst underdressed on a clearly wet and cold day. bless him.

The rain isn't doing it for me. The super-unrealistic lines of rain are juxtapoed (learned that word yesterday, tell me if I'm using it wrong) against the very realistic wetness on the bench, stroller, and man's jacket. I believe it should either be all un-realistic, or all ultra-realtistic. Don't mix them, there like orage juice and chocolate milk. Don't mix well.

ive actually seen this around a lot, but i havent taken the time to look at it with more detail until now and i regret i didnt earlier, i like the illustration and the rain and everything :)

p.d. if the rain was round shaped does it look better?

Awww it's really cute
CreativeNashville
CreativeNashville on Apr 28 '06
Great illustration = 5 but I think I'd like it a little better if the rain was staggered along the edges a little instead of being cut off in a straight circle. That's my nit picky 2cents.

I love it. I disagree with cowmasta13's proposition that surrearlism and realism don't mix. The best of art often combines the two.

Still, I think the rain should come down at an angle, if you were to change one thing.

Under no circumstances should there be a second umbrella, however.

This reminds me of the end of the Daniel Powter video for "Bad Day"

I hate that song, but I like this shirt.

Nice graphic. Wouldn't wear it.

great graphic.. with the baby it looks like some guy (to me) hitting on a single mom... not so cool..
teametc
teametc on Apr 29 '06
i havent seen that music video, and as far as coming down on an angle goes with the rain i thought about it but it wouldnt have the same blatant "no rain" area right under the umbrella which was the look i was going for, although i agree it might have made it look more like rain and a little less stylized, thanks for all the feedback everyone, i really appreciate it.

I like the guy. He seems to have nice hair and a good physique. Also I like the rain how it is with the more realistic and less realistic mix. I like the baby but at the same time I don't want it there so that they can hook up, hah.
teametc
teametc on Apr 30 '06
so much underlying hook up tension, you can just see the sparks, besides noone said the carriage had a baby in it, it could be full of cans for recycling, or kittens, or even contraceptives for your "hook up" theory, whatever helps you like it more...im so very desperate...

I like it a lot, just not the oval it is in. I'm not sure how to do it differently, but it looks awkward. I really like this shirt though.

I think the whole thing is really touching. I looked at it, read a comment, stopped, looked again, and it's really really touching. Way to go.
