I revisit the myth of the Pandora's Box, in the XXI century :-) if you remember the myth, hope is what remains...and speaking about hope, i hope that this design will please people too...
If the background depicts the dangerous things that could result in opening Pandora's box, then it's too late. It's been opened. So maybe the box should be open in this design.
bellethiel, the cross doesn't have to be interpreted as Christianity's symbol. I didn't see it that way. I see the cross in this design as symbolizing all the pain that comes from the state punishing people (rightly or wrongly). Crucifixion was the Roman Empire's way of keeping its citizens in line and all the pain involved made sure it was very effective. I'm sure some think so negatively of Christianity that they will see the cross as representing the religion and all the suffering that has unjustly come about by people inflicting it in the name of Jesus. I'm just showing you there's an alternate interpretation.
hello everybody! for the colors, i do the variations today ;-) For the symbol of christianity, helo explained you very well (love your comments) nicely the stuff, you also could only see the cross on a cemetery, symbolizing Death, without all the religion symbolic ;-)
Then, for the representation of the box being opened, i chosed to design it closed but, showing too what's in it: saying, it's too late, by representing what it's in the box through the background, like a big cloud, emanation, of what it's in the box...arghhh, i'm bad in english :/
for the classic representation of the box...it's a choice too, constrasting between this simple box and all the complexity and pain that is "in it"...a try of emphasis in a way...thanks everybody!
I like the design being orange or red colors which are associated with danger. Blue and green are more peaceful colors and seem to work against the theme of danger in the design.
helo> that's impressive, it seems that each time i do something, at a purpose, you find out the reason, amazing! Yes it was the reason why i used those colors, but the green can be interpreted in something toxic, like a gas, so it can work too ;-) for the others, now i'm sure the text is not appropriated (anyway, i usually, like this one, create my own fonts...but REMEMBER, it can be changed easily ;-) )
fantastic colors and great designs around the box. I think you could lose the "Pandora's box" text actually. tied shut, with the images all around it, and Do Not Open...the viewer should easily put 2 and 2 together $5

I always expected Pandora's Box to be a little less...cardboard-ish.

The tee looks cool
bubblesbabe
looks cool. are there any other color variations for the T-shirt?

I like the concept, but I think it would look better on a different color shirt. :)

I like that you actually know the myth =]. 5, considering the $.
pixel_dust
I love the idea and the background, but not the box itself. It's too...ordinary looking.

Haha, our competition show for marching band this year is called "Pandora's Box."
bellethiel
why is christianity the only religion represented here? I don't mean it in a way to start an argument, merely curious.

I really really love the design and would give it a 5$, but can it be another shirt color? That is my only suggestion.
Jebs
