typo for pointillism, the cubist one should be more cubic, but other than that, i would totally buy it

Nice idea. Not sure about the cubism one, and the realism one looks like it has gradients, but decent nonetheless. 3

like the idea, but also agree that the execution could be better.

Go study your isms and try again.

midgetbigot on Jun 28 '06
Sorry about the typo but that is easily corrected. I did struggle with the cube.



Staffell - Very clever making as naturism is nudist. But again, I was going more for the pun of being au natural to show naturalism



thanks everyone

thanks for the comments. It means a lot to me. With the exception of the cube and spelling error let me know if there is anythign else I can do. Saying "poorly done" really doesn't offer anything I can use. Thanks in advance.

for cubism you could have

Mona raised to the third power

as if she is part of a math equation



Mona cubed !

helo
helo on Jun 29 '06
just put a small " 3 " in the upper

right hand corner next to Mona's image
helo
helo on Jun 29 '06
Great ideas and great fonts matched up

with corresponding "ism."



You're getting plenty of smiles from me on this design.



Mona's heads need a little more space above them so

they won't appear to be bumping the text above.

midgetbigot on Jun 29 '06
thanks for all the comments - I'll adjust some things and post them her for you to see

I would rather have Mona with a sqare face and cube features than her as a math equation.

I've seen a shirt like this before, but it was in the style of various artists rather than in the style of various movements. What about modernism, post-modernism, and dadaism, though? I would have liked to see what you would have come up with for those.

midgetbigot on Jun 30 '06
another version

and still another



Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.

I like this but I have seen the idea before.
chisafer
chisafer on Jun 30 '06
and ism is a belief right? just wondering.



$4.
midgetbigot
midgetbigot on Jun 30 '06
mmm ism is not a belief like a religion but a theory or system or and the characteristic qualities. But, in the case it was just a handy title. I was going to call it "Art History 101"



And, Hannah - I thikn I've seen one paitning interpreted in the style of different artists but I haven't seen this or else I wouldn't have done it. If you can find it done, I'd love to see it.

Clever, but I wouldn't buy it.

This is a fun design. It reminds me of a drawing I did in college called "Art History of the smiley face"
gbread1012
gbread1012 on Jun 30 '06
i don't get what you're doing with the Impressionism. unless a zoom would help, Pointilism is questionable. Symbolism should be something subtle that seemingly makes no sense. Cubism should be her facial features scattered. Expressionism should have an extreme facial expression...and Naturalism would just mean that it looked more like the ideal.



Really lazy execution with improper use of terms. 1.
midgetbigot
midgetbigot on Jun 30 '06
Gbread -

Impressionism is a stamp - it actually says "Impress/Stamp" in Italian on it

Pointilism - she's pointing seems rather clear to me

Symbolism - the almost universal smile face is substituted for her famous "mona lisa smile". I don't think anything else would work for me.

cubism with scattered features would be illustrating the style not the title so it would be inconsistent with my other choices.

Expressionism - I chose a verbal expression rather than a facial.

Naturalism - the movement was anti romantic and posed things more realistically but again my idea was not to illustrate the style but the title so I chose to pose her au natural



Please take some time to try and udnerstand a concept before imposing your thoughts upon it. After all, it's an illustrative play on words not a defenitive illustration.

meleekitten on Jun 30 '06
I would say pick three.. there are so many of these it seems like a novelty tourist shirt from the Louvre or something. I love the concept though and I'll give it a 5 just for that.

midgetbigot,



Seeing your updated designs so quickly after

comments are made is a nice treat.



Just a little note about correct spelling : Pointillism

( your updated designs have it misspelled )

cool but i've seen this on a shirt b4!! didn't have as many but was the same concept. maybe u haven't seen it so not ur fault but it's been done before.
slabix
slabix on Jul 03 '06
definitely seen this done before. . .and pretty sure it was with Mona. The schools were rendered much more agressively, and it ended up making bigger statement.

Again I have seen shirts that show the schools using illustrations of the style. That was not what I wanted to do. I am playibng with the verbage, the titles, not the styles.

I've done a pretty extensive google search and can not find any. If anyone knows where I can see the shirt, I sure would appreciate a link to it :)

I got a VERY similar shirt while i was in France. The only thing different is that the words were in French. It's a cute idea though.
