All letters are builded as a modular- lettering headline, so I thought would be contradictory writting \"lorem Ispum\", as an automatic fill text, in stead of some other.

I\'d like to make a serie of different modular type designs with the \"lorem ipsum\" text.

haha, i always connect straws together...great idea to use as typography

I like the idea, what does it say?

I can only make out the first two words. If it wasn't for the title I wouldn't have a clue as to what it said.

and what does it mean? it's in latin, right?

I love it! I had to look up what it means, which took me all of 5 seconds. I love the typography, it is genius? Did you make it yourself? I have never seen it before. But I also didn't know about "Lorem Ipsum," so clearly there is a lot that I don't know.

this is hella cool. wish i'd thought of it. perhaps front and back tho is too much? i mean i like em simple me. :)

great concept -- very cool!

Those straws are fancy.

So it doesn't mean anything then? even so, i like the concept of the straws, its well done.

so 50s.. love it!

I'd buy this. Doesn't matter if I can't read it, the design as a whole looks great.

I would like the back design by itself. It looks great!

Dummy text!

Nice job for making a shirt that no one can read. I'd buy it.

nicely done but considering maybe .05% of people will know what the words mean they'll have a hard time trying to find words they know out of it.

I love it!

5$

Hard to read but nicely done.

strawtastic!

I have a special place in my heart for Lorem Ipsum.

Nice design.

hehe...i want it just to confuse people!

A balance between illustration and type, I love both what it says and how it looks like! Lorem ipsum, all designers use it, allthough we mostly don't know what it means... sad! Great work, congratulations!!

I'd totally go for a Lorem Ipsum shirt, but I don't really like the straws.

This design is gonna be a classic! believe me, get one of those before i become a expensive vintage item! ;-)

Hey guys!

Thanks all for your comments!!! I'm very happy with all this opinions! Its true, this design didn't had a priority in readibility, the idea was playing with a complex structure throught simple shapes and make a headline out of it, in this case, the design was meant to be seen than to be readed.

Lorem Ipsum is a fragment of a passage from Cicero. The text that we use in graphic design doesn't have any real meaning... And this is because when we use it, we want people to focus in the design itself, not in the content of the text. That's why I choose Lorem Ipsum as a text.

love sperm door si am? i couldnt read it until i read the description. >

hahaha, I love that one!

a. sad that some people don;t know what the lorem ipsum text is....

b. awesome that it is on a shirt

c. but not well executed (of course, i could do no better)

pwaulie-
a. i'm sorry that we suck so bad (but not really; stop being a prick)
b. tell me what it means!

What's the design on the back look like? Yay, lorem ipsum! It's kind of an in-joke with me and some of my freinds that I had Latin with in highschool.

funny mood! back to the 80's!

$5

hahah.....great...LOREM IPSUM!

herekittykitty>>Lorem ipsum... is coming from a Cicero's text, but it has been modified, so it doesn't mean anything.

yeah, this shirt makes me feel thirsty and full of love..
I want one, no, two.
Wait, gimme ten.

Definitely my cup of tea.
Congrats!

"Dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet" - is cicero's actual quote, but "lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" is a professional version of "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"-- gives a variety of letters so you know what the font and style looks like.

In short: I like it, it's clever, it's a good shirt

I love bendy straws. $5

Really well done!

Alot of silly comments on you design Trouchut, seems like the threadless changed alot the last years, now its full of people without a clue. Anyways, I like how the shirt finally turned out, think you solved the endings of the straws much better now, and also the drink at the back is a nice touch. This is surely gonna be printed if you ask me.

$5

Ya te he votado y vas a ganar, por que es la cami más chluguay!
y que se fastidien los inglésparlantes :)

The details have destroyed my eyes....I mean, wow. The curves are 100% perfect. Amazing.

wow... excellent type design!
perfectly done

mucha suerte!!!

That's really funny. It reminds me of working on Pagemaker in college.

its a fragment of a sentence but it reads something about "pain loving pain itself." and as someone who knows latin i find it insulting that you would use it without knowing what it means.

Reading Is Fundamental :) And for this killer idea, this design is way too modern... you can run a thousand different old school ways with this... read on!

Loremipsum.net

Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

What is 'lorem ipsum'?
'Lorem ipsum' is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s. It has been popularised 'recently' with desktop publishing software and in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing 'lorem ipsum' passages.

Roots of 'lorem ipsum' ?
'Lorem ipsum' is not simply random text. It is actually over 2000 years old and it has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC. 'Lorem ipsum' comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of " de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) written in 45 BC by Marcus Tullius Cicero. The first line of 'lorem ipsum', "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...", can be read out of a line from section 1.10.32. This book was very popular during the Renaissance and it is a treatise on the theory of ethics.

Thanks for the comments once again. Helvetica is great, but sometimes you just feel like expressing a bit more yourself... This was a way to have fun (Its t-shirt, don't forget that), and make a type-experiment, it's nothing else than that, something to watch more than to read... And as I said, Lorem Ipsum..., its a just the excuse to play around with a modular lettering. If I wanted to make it simple a would post a type-tee sentence.

OMG Remex, don't be such a prig! How can you be insulted that this phrase was used? That's rediculous.

Anyway, nice design alex trochut, it looks awesome!

Big Ed -- SUCH a reminder of old-timey PageMaker! I was trying to remember where I had seen it first...

What's going on with the straws on the back panel? Not sure I need the back panel, as the front kicks it out so nicely...

I'm sure almost no one will actually be able to read it, but that's a) kind of the point of lorem-ipsum, and b) all the more fun.

Veer already has two lorem ipsum shirts: http://www.veer.com/products/merchdetail.aspx?image=VPR0001110 and http://www.veer.com/products/merchdetail.aspx?image=VPR0001210

I want this, too cool.

I'm a big fan of Lorem Ipsum shirts. This one is awesome.. $5.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

at first i thought it was neon... then i saw it was straws...
theres just alot going on here. I think its primarily positive.
This would look really hot printed in foil/shiny ink on a dark shirt, or even with darker ink on a pink or yellow shirt (you know like lemonade) ... i dig the illustration vs. text and that the text is more prominent and the illustration is hidden on the back
and that they are connected... both by "lines", (which are actually straws...) and by that the whole construction is built out of straws... which is also a neat device... (and they look great... ) neat because ... well, i know i have played with straws and built long straws.. and twisted the ...
so the design is also SHOWing it's own construction (also demonstrated through the good use of different colored straws...)

researched:

De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum
The Extremes of Good and Evil

"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit ...,"

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...."

Description of the "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet"

MORE INFORMATION
Although the phrase is nonsense, it does have a long history. The phrase has been used for several centuries by typographers to show the most distinctive features of their fonts. It is used because the letters involved and the letter spacing in those combinations reveal, at their best, the weight, design, and other important features of the typeface.

A 1994 issue of "Before & After" magazine traces "Lorem ipsum ..." to a jumbled Latin version of a passage from de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, a treatise on the theory of ethics written by Cicero in 45 B.C. The passage "Lorem ipsum ..." is taken from text that reads, "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit ...," which translates as, "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...."

During the 1500s, a printer adapted Cicero's text to develop a page of type samples. Since then, the Latin-like text has been the printing industry's standard for fake, or dummy, text. Before electronic publishing, graphic designers had to mock up layouts by drawing in squiggled lines to indicate text. The advent of self-adhesive sheets preprinted with "Lorem ipsum" gave a more realistic way to indicate where text would go on a page.

oops !
here's the link
forgot to include it above
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=114222

strong design !!

it's a pretty cool concept
but i'm having trouble reading it.

i feel like if it wasn't connected to
the back design that it would be
much easier to read.

i love the cup with frothy bubbles and a straw on the back.

im graphic designer...

and i want this shirt.

lorem ipsum is just dummy text.

and i think that makes super cute shirt idea.

Most clever shirt concept I've seen all day... It would've been great with just the text but the connection with the drink on the back makes it really fantastic. I would wear it.

messy... though I like the way it reaches to the back...

forgot to add... maybe make the words a little brighter and colourful...

1.85???

Yeah, 1.85? What ever happened to this society, I used to feel that threadless was for designers, smart taste, good concepts and quality design. I guess now its just full of kids not having a clue about design, or t-shirt printing. Feel bad that a quality design like this is given a rate of 1.85. People obviously dont know what they are looking at.

I agree with the above ^^^

filler type.. i love it!
