About my design

THE HOMAGE TO RORSCHACH'S
INKBLOT TEST (Session Collection)
is designed to help the wearer accurately
assess various personality traits of people
that they might encounter on a day to day
basis. These encounters could be with per-
fect strangers, relatives, friends, politicians
and primates.

By following these easy steps, you will be
able to conclude that everyone that you
have come into contact with, are all a bit
'off the wall'.

STEP 1: OBTAIN A RESPONSE
The wearer is asked to obtain a response
from a candidate about the design on the
t-shirt. Take Note: Responses in any way
similar to "It's a piece of crap", allows the
wearer to skip straight to Step 3.

STEP 2: INTERPRET THE RESPONSE
1. If the candidate responds to the design
as a whole, it could be concluded that they
are able to deal with relationships in
meaningful ways. Milk this aspect of their
personality for your own benefit.

2. A response to minor details could
indicate obsessive compulsive tendencies,
which is a defense mechanism protecting
them from having to cope with larger
issues in their life. Point this out to them,
it will drive them up the wall.

3. A response to negative (white) space
could be interpreted as the candidate's
inclination to see things in their own way,
it could be a manifestation of negativism
and stubbornness. Do not in any way
aggravate these candidates.

4. If the candidate sees colour, but is pre-
dominantly guided by the form of the ink-
blot, they are believed to be capable of
feeling deeply, but also of holding back
their feelings. Take Note: These candidates
are walking time-bombs and should be app-
roached carefully.

STEP 3: DRAW CONCLUSIONS
Decide whether you would like to pro-
ceed with having any further contact with
the candidate.

ADDITIONAL INTERPRETATIONS
If the candidate sees red as symbolising
blood, their impulses are unmanageable.
Normally attributed to Vampires.

If the candidate is confused about seeing
male or female elements in the inkblot,
they might be in conflict over their own
gender. Do not, under any circumstances,
point this out to the candidate.

If the candidate sees movement, it could
be concluded that they are intelligent
and creative. After 1000 responses, it
appears that everyone is creative.

If the candidate sees animals, but no
people, they may have problems relating
to people. Normally attributed to politicians.

This is nice, good design for a shirt. But it would be frightening to place on your wall since it also depends on your mood. When your angry or depressed, it may convey or heightened those kind of emotion.

Good for a shirt though, I'll give it a 5

I do like this one, because I see a ton of things in it. Plus your design concept page is funny, but that bears no significance to my vote.

Though I realize it isn't as true to the Rorschach test, I actually like the colored version a lot more.

Awsome design, I'm a big fan of the Rorscach tests although I never knew what they were called before now =)

this illustration is intense, but gnarls barkleys video kinda cheapens it.

How many of these have you made, why dont you make 1 and submit that. submitting 3 of anything is doomed to failiure. Everyone gets pissed and says they hate them/tells you to remove them etc. Theyre actually really good. Its a shame you submitted 3, instead of your favourite

I have read of 1 person saying they are fairly repetitive....I would say you are a bit of a drama queen....they are different...that's why they are called sessions 1, 2, & 3

An angel at the top , 2 girls faces on the outside, 2 pandas, a kangaroo face wearing sunglasses, and 2 iguanas below the pandas. I like the kangaroo the best . :)

This isn't a rorschach test when you draw your stains to make faces or a panda for example...
It seems kinda fake to me... and why all these rorschach subs? Those who don't like the concept of one won't like the others, and i think the serial submitting depreciates each submission...
To finish, all this pretended psychological dimension doesn't justify anything especially when these aren't rorschachs!

The first thing I saw was pandas in the middle, and then the faces on the outside. And then the roots. In that order!

WHO AM I!?

I liked it, but reading all the comments kind of turned me off it. I feel like such a sheep. 5 for my initial response, but no $

ink blots are very "in" right now, yours doesnt really set apart from the others, make it more complex

Oh I like these, although I think Session 3 works best in color

I think the rest of my comment died:

I think I like this one the most, but I wouldn't want to have to choose.
Oh and other people need to stop freaking out about the multiple sessions, I mean honestly, how do they expect to get their mental problem fixed with just one session? o.O
