About my design

by WinterInChicago
This started as an idea to make stickers (words only) to put on a fire extinguisher, evolved into a poster I posted at school, and eventually into this shirt.

no text and it would rock

It wouldn't work without text, and I like the word "genitals" just fine. The top-heaviness of the figure bothers me a bit, though.

yeah genitals sound more humourous. a very "guy" tshirt. you should make one for the ladies. perhaps. do not you fire extinguisher on lower region. anywhos. i would so wear that.

I think you should drop the word "the" so it would sound more like a real warning label

This makes me laugh. The text explains it more. If there wasn't any text then he'd look sad but symbollicly horny... which is kinda weird. I like it how it is :)

The design could be *slightly* larger on the tee. Other than that, this is wonderful.

u should name it "great balls of fire"--then it would be funny

something that puzzles me is why j.ayde thinks the term "genitals" is for guys. Our "lower region" is also called our "genitals." Just, you know, for the record. I think the shirt is funnier without the asterisk and the little comment at the bottom. That's the poor guy's quandry.

originally the character had no face and the head was not looking down, do you think he would look better as a normal "restroom" type symbol? with no face and the head floating above the body?

also, color was tough to choose, any suggestions for another color of shirt?

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that this made me laugh quite a bit.

Typesetting, typesetting, typesetting! If you are going to force justify the copy than the asterisk needs to hang. Google "hanging punctuation" if you don't know what I'm talking about...

heh. I kinda like the idea of naming it firecrotch. And I agree with chemical71. Typesetting with hanging punctuation is important. It's a cool design, but that makes it look awkward. So I'm giving it a 4 because of that.

You should have 'fire extinguisher' on the same line, and yeah, drop 'the' to make it sound more authentic, and no need for the asterisk and text below the pic, you've already visualised the message. $4

Haha. Um... a border might actually work on this design, if only to make it look more like it'd go on an actual fire extinguisher.

If someone suggests something I agree with, do I get to change that at some point?

I totally agree with those who say it would rock without any text at all. Great image.

Maybe if he had a single blue tear on one of his eyes ;_; Anyway crotch fire is always welcome.

I agree with losing "the".... and possibly putting in a stripey "WARNING" border.
