dschwen on Jul 19 '06 :::
If you have been working with clients at all you know they can be a tricky breed. A lot of the time they have something already made up in their mind of what they want their end product to look like. And most of the time it's very subjective things. The thing that I can't stand is when they take an existing design that isn't strong and they just want to make it 'prettier.' In our field we call that, "Putting lipstick on a pig." Because it's not re-thinking the project, but rather just giving it a visual face-lift. Hope you enjoy and wear the shirt so people give us designers some respect again. D ::: |

I think it's pretty interesting, I'd buy it :)
|
 |
EXCELLENT. $5
|
 |
I love it 5$
|
 |
Not for me, but I know the Design (ahem, sorry... User Experience) guys at work would totally lurv this.
|
 |
Yes. Yes, you are. I love how random, non-sequitur this is.
|
 |
that's the first time i've heard that, pretty applicable, too. i'll have to remember that one. i've got a client right now looking for the same thing.
|
 |
i rather like it :]
|
 |
this reminds me of Damn Scientists, which is a style i enjoy, but as i'm not a designer . . . i probably wouldn't wear it myself
|
 |
for some reason i like it .......try white shirt with design in that same pink
$5 |
 |
Read my blog, and you'll know I'm right there with you. A "buy" on principle alone!
|
 |
sweet. 5buy for sure.
|
 |
i gotta agree with hellothere, the layout sorta does remind me of Damn Scientists...
|
 |
why
|
 |
I FEEL THE PAIN.
"Can you make this better? But don't change anything." $5 |
 |
perfect shirt for many many many of the submissions I've seen on this site hah. 5.
|
 |
love the pic of the pig
5$ |
 |
LOVE IT ! $5 $5 $5!!!
|
 |
love the idea and i know exactly what your talking about....damn clients you design something they dont like it so you change it and the they say they dont like it how about this so you change back to the way it was when you designed it.
'Thats why i made it that way you idiots!' "thats why they call me the designer and you the loser' sorry tough day at work. Anyways, love it, maybe lose everything bjut the pig and the strap line. 5$ all the same |
 |
except..this is more like kissing a pig with lipstick on rather than actually putting lipstick on a pig.....
i like the colors though id probably buy it |
 |
you should make a series of these, each with a different number in the upper right corner! i just don't understand the "pete the video guy" part... other than that, i'd buy this!
|
 |
it's an interesting concept but man you've got to get yourself a different layout. Most of your submissions look the same.
|
 |
skello2 on Jul 20 '06 love it
|
 |
your explanation made it all clear, and you get a well deserved 5.
|
 |
I'd buy this, and i'd wear it to all my pitches!
|
 |
$5 nice. and your explanation makes it cool. would be fun to have to explain it to ppl...specially being in the design field too :D has hte pig got a beard? haha
|
 |
this shirt rocks the cazbah. type looks good; pig illo is effective. i wish it wasn't so specifically oriented towards designers -- i.e., if i wore it i would be a bit of a poser. but it looks great, and at the end of the day this shirt is $$$$$.
|
 |
not feeling it at all.. I hate shirts that you have to explain to e veryone that sees them.. it just loses it's flavor for me..
|
 |
That's great! I would definately wear that! $5
|
 |
I saw this, and I thought it said "Go Stick Your Head In A Pig" and it was almost the best shirt ever.
|
 |
i think its a little obsure, but maybe the people that have dealt with this will like it
|
|
I love your style- I'm really glad to see someone that's not afraid to use text on a Tee. My only comment is that this shirt probably won't appeal to many outside of design. Good work though.
|
|
I don't like text on a tee, but this is cool and funny. Really good.
|
 |
Like that olld Round the Twist episode with the magic lipstick.
|
|
old
|
 |
Looks a lot like Damn Scientists.
|
 |

|
 |
This is my life. Thank you for telling it like it is.
