About the design

Submitted by Frank Vice on May 21, 2006

I like the idea of having a box which you don't know the cntents of. It's kind of like a christmas present you'll never get to open :)

whirzle1

I like the idea.

isn't that 5 colors. though?

supervee

Nope there's only 4 colours.
Ouuuu mysterious boxxxx ....

joshamman

2 shades of box, 2 shades of blood, and the shadow/interior of the box.
pretty sure 2 + 2 + 1 = 5

Jo$h

yea there are 5 colors.

the shadow looks a little off to me, other than its its pretty cool.

december faded

kind of odd...not something i would wear...mabye put the whats inside on the shirt

revol

if this is a reference to Seven, it's awesome.

Ssquach

is it supposed to be a reference to "seven"? Seems so to me...so $5

groundcontrol

The William Shatner parody of Seven is awesome.

My original idea was not a reference to seven, but it was in reaction to a blog by suspiria about seven. Then I thought about doing the box from seven specifically, but then I decided against it. So it's not the box from seven, but ti is inspired by the box from seven :)

SheriB626

I thought it was about Schrodinger's cat. :o

"So it's not the box from seven, but ti is inspired by the box from seven"

totally a reference to Seven.

totally awexome that you innocuously put a woman's severed head on a t-shirt.

$5

good idea, poor execution

backwards

hate the green, like the idea

Thievery

This is very boring. Even if it is a reference I wouldn't want to wear something that looked so plain.

the subtlety is what I was going for... I don't want it to be evident at first that it's anything more than just a box. That's when you notice there's blood stains at the corner, and it may be something more than you originally thought

seakings

get rid of the shadow

Krypton

put yourself in it and throw it far please

suspiria

it should be BIG and MORE BLOOD... however i'm amused and delighted by your position of "it's not the box from seven, just inspired by the box." hee he! ceci n'est pas une pipe!

v. comical, couldn't stop laughing.
$5

the subtlety works, i like the execution. nice, made me laugh

onecrazybreeze

The subtlety you were going for? You completely ripped the idea off of a movie. Seems to me that was the subtlety they were going for.

in the movie there was no blood on the box. I took artistic liberty to show what was in the box from the outside where they told you outright

onecrazybreeze

why can't you just have the balls to admit you completely ripped off the idea? if you were sooooooooooooooooooooooo original don't you think you could come up with a better title then the exact movie line from seven. quit trying to fool everyone into thinking you're some sort of genius.

I took the title from the title of a blog about seven actually

kaloyster

What's in the box?

A frozen hunk o' crap.

dayuse aka yuipeter [peter t.]

Isn't it only one shade of blood?
Which is why I admire it. It makes us think there's 2 shades of blood, but there isn't.
4 colours + good idea = $5.

ellaenid

Now see, I'm with Sheri: I totaly thought of the cat. Geeks unite!

AdamMisfortune

whisper in water

Clearly, the second shade of the box is the same colour as the shadow/interior of the box.
Four colours... woot.

jlaosvmeimnee

im not so sure about all the colors togethor, but its pretty cool

amyheartsjapan

I'd buy it.

There's a video game where you have to sneak around, and you can hide in a box sometimes and move around so as not to be noticed... This reminds me of that, if you accidentally got noticed.

A pool of blood, please. No grass.

prettymonster

woah, very simple. but i'd buy this. theres something about it.

no pool of blood.
five.

TommyM

jeez, people need to chill out... if you've not seen seven, you get the idea, if you have then its like, 'ah cool, that's like in seven'... the green is pants (I can't wear that shade- too pastelly, bottle green nicer!), the box is a little lazy, some corregated cardboard lines or something would look better... if you cut the grass shadow and had it closed, you could manage it in 4 colours... I think its awesome...

TommyM

have the bloof running along the bottom border of the front avoiding the whole corner/2 blood shades issue... three shades of brown on the closed box.

janell6267

ewww, again reminds me of my gross anatomy teacher.....he brought back a dead baby in a box.

Dranore

Yeah, this is a reference to the film Se7en's concluding scene... and it's not done so well. It's waaaay too crude.

wendy lady

ew. interesting though. work on the illustration some.

ohpanda

print it out, now.

yoda911

OH NO!! GRANDMA!! I WILL AVENGE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and mayB get a slurpee, gallon of milk, change for gambling, a few fruits, sandwich items (peanut butter, jam...), and a box of kleenex

yoda911

very funny though, 4

ranal

This reminds me of a fortune cookie I opened once and it said "what is hidden in an empty box", I think their running out of ideas
