About my design

by TheVoiceInMyHead
Well... I thought this would be a nice way to let others now how you want to end the night...

Lame.



Although I do find it somewhat comical how small that condom is.

It's funny but I don't think you'll sell a lot of girly tees.

i think it would have been better if you attempted to show the mass of the objects in the pocket, like the folds in the cloth if the pocket were real, rather than trying to make it transparent, and maybe adding some more detail to it. Oh and the text is alittle over the top, try and find a way to describe your point without typing it out

Wow, this is my first submission. I already have 5 comments which to me seems a lot: thanks everyone for the input!



Yeah, I agree a number of girls may be too shy to wear this. But there are more daring cool chicks out there, right human?



I will not blab about what I wanted to convey. I can just say this was meant to be overly explicit.

You know, like those kinds of guys that just push it too far in their persuading tecniques....



This tee is for the more considerate ones who just do not dare to say it out loud but do carry that condom in that pocket... in hope.



Would look good on one of those shy indie guys, me thinks!

I like how it has kind of an innocent, almost retro feel to it. props/5.

I like the idea, the design just needs some fine tuning. The condom is much too small.

Only 1 condom, what were you thinking????????There should be atleast 3, let her know she's in for a good time!!!!:-)

Agree with Desaparecido on this one. In your shirt's universe, even I'd need a magnum.

I love it how the teens here find this idea lame (cannot blame you kids! Most of you are uncomfortable with sex, have not used a condom yet and you are far from familiar with sex sleepovers: it will take some time!) while the more adult are very much concerned with size!



Anyhow noted that the boys needs a couple sizes up in condom size!

Aw man, it can't even make the cut to Hot Topic?



I like the idea of it, but I can't imagine packing an overnight lovin' kit in a t-shirt pocket. Maybe it should just be text?

your toothbrush looks more like a mustache comb or something weird like that. make it look more toothbrushy.

I think this shirt is great. I would buy this to give as a gift. I like the colors and the styling. The toothbrush is cute and to me is meant to match the modern styling on the other items.



Are the toothpaste and brush travel size? LOL just think it's terribly funny people are concerned with their equipment fitting. It's a friggin shirt but it could make for a funny conversation piece if you left it small. If you do make the condom pack bigger it could overlap the comb which is big and defined anyways. Maybe leaving a white border where it overlaps.



I would make the text smaller or for go the text all together. In LA this shirt would be understood with out the text. Especially in WeHo.



side note: hot topic blows. punk usede to be anti comercialism. but now it's trendy to be punk which means to be different you'd have to start dressing like a dweeby prep, wearing polos with sweaters tossed over your shoulders, w/ khaki shorts. think weezer. they rock.

juliazale on Aug 09 '06
oops overlap the condom over the comb and tooth paste. perhaps if you made the text smaller it could go around the bottom of the pocket following the triangle line.

I am a tad surprised by the reaction to this shirtie. I honestly never even gave a glimpse of thinking to the thought that putting sex on a t-shirt could still be anappropriate or able to stir up some hate/uncomfortability... Apparently it is though.

Actually this is turning into some interesting sociological experiment of sort of me!



By the way, so that you know, I am a girl myself ladies!

And I made this thinking to be a lot cuter and softer than many sex shirts meant to pick up at parties. Not to be worn by "sex machine" only.



Anyhow, back to design discussion. There is a minor change I would like to do with the toothbrush. But I still want it to look like a nerdy toothbrush.



And if I had to modify the text, I would made it really really small still sitting beside the pocket.



Julia, maybe I should try selling these to LA! And I second your thoughts on punk.



I had no idea what Spencers was (until a second ago when I looked it up). And is Hot Topic that chain shop in England? I forgot the name. But does not ring familiar (I am not from NA).



Anyhow, sorry if you find this shocking/disturbing. It was not meant to be.

"I love it how the teens here find this idea lame (cannot blame you kids! Most of you are uncomfortable with sex, have not used a condom yet and you are far from familiar with sex sleepovers"



Are you kidding me? obviously you aren't familiar with teens nowadays...

Funny idea, consider revising the type and making the pocket and objects less stylized (add stitching to the pocket,etc)

You are crarcking me up! Ever thought what goes on TV is NOT reality?

Have a clue of how many arrive virgin to university? No? Get there and you will know.

fonebone45 on Aug 10 '06
neat idea, apparently a great argument starter too :P



I just don't like the way the text is lined up, and maybe a minor adjustment to the way the toothbrush is done. other than that, good job.

maybe without the text.



And it just depends on where you live for the whole teen virgin thing. And even then when school you go to.



In my 'hood...the catholic schoolers go sex crazy once they hit catholic highschool

the toothbrush needs to be a little more toothbrushie and the pocket more obviously a pocket... maybe put sewing lines? Anyway, I love the retro feel and would defintely buy this!

thanks a lot for the suggestion comments: this is my first submission and for me it's good to see how people really pay attention to things.Good lesson for me: I may rework this and submit it again or anyhow work on my next desing paying more attention.

no text. you only need it because what you drew is very bad. draw it better and you won't need the text. i agree that no one should be uncomfortable with this shirt, it is just horribly executed. color, text, font, illustration, everything! smacks of no talent.



for all of those offended or uncomfortable with this shirt....teens have sex, adults have sex, some are shy, some aren't. who gives a crap about what you feel about the topic, this shirt is still the ugliest sub i have seen.

I'm a girl and like this shirt. I'd prolly wear it to sleep in at the boyfriend's though, not so much to wear out in public.

I really like the idea, but you should really refine the graphic. The condom is too small and the toothbrush looks like an eyelash comb.

clever. but still. the design is just.. er, it could be better.
