I think this is pretty cool. I'm going to study to be an architect and I have to use the X-acto a lot. Especially the #11 blade. $5

Retarded. I don't understand the whole "I hate my life" thing.

gosh, where did that come from sheppard? does this shirt even have anything to do with "the whole 'i hate my life' thing"?

how is it even emo?

oh oh, there's a knife... it must be emo.

i think its good, not sure about the colours though.

Now that I know it's a #11 exacto, I like it, but knowing I'd have to explain it to friends equally as unaware works against you.

wow some people don't know their art supplies.

NUMBER ELEVEN X-ACTO BLADES!!!

pretty much the most popular, most used blade.



considering this is a DESIGN website, it's sad to see that at least a few of you immediately thought OMG BLADES!! EMO BULLSHIT!



so. i think the idea is pretty nifty, however seeing how most people wouldn't understand this, i'm not sure i'd wear it. the design could also be spiffed up quite a bit.



ps sheppard53 is an asshole.

I understand it, but I don't know why you would want to wear this as a shirt.

I had no idea what that a #11 exacto knife was a common design tool, but this shirt obviously has nothing to do with cutting...

I don't think my description was posted with the design.

This was made from scanning actual #11 blades, looking closely reveals the remnants of the etched text.

I was interested in doing something so simple that it bordered on being not-design, something so "dumb" or "empty" that it bordered on being not-clever.

now on a crt, i realize color choice was way off on my home monitor.

All of your comments are appreciated.

i just noticed that the four blades were being put together to make a '#' and that the two blades/handles were making an 11. i think it needs to be worked on. 2

I'm pretty surprised most people here thought "emo" instead of "graphic design."



geez. I cut myself with my x-acto all the time... just not intentionally :)



anyway, interesting design... but not for a tee shirt.

Sorry if my comment came out the wrong way.



I wasn't aware that this had some meaning in design.



Just saying that most people will look at that negatively instead of what you really want it to mean.
