Design Feedback

[chrisj]

Two designs here i whipped up really quick. More for the statement than for the aesthetics.

I know by using a vulgarity i cut out a whole demographic of people that will wear this tee, its what came to me in the middle of my genocide course last semster, i dont really want to change my statement.

Here we go, I was thinking about this being blown up big at the front of the teeshirt.

Or the back with a little logo or design on one of the front breast areas

This one I was thinking just for the back, but hey you could put it up front too.

Thanks

needs more lensflare

[chrisj]

what do you mean?

like needs more "boom" more grabbing? maybe buy a photo off a press photo reuters?

[Tyler Durden]

chinamen might find it offensive and it looks like it says darfursave? not save darfur....

[chrisj]

yeah i just noticed that hahaha, i guess i can just change the spacing around..

i also dont think chinamen really give a fuck.. they could care less about darfur and petrochina. no offence

they're both really bad

[chrisj]

taking a step back and looking at them... they just seem like mehhh me to me now... something is really missing and its just text ... i dont know.. any ideas?

[destructodisk]

Dacfur, Dakfur, Darpur, Dartur, Carfur?

I think that the highlighted text thing only works if there's the actual letters there to highlight.

In any case, SAVE CARFUR!

[Tyler Durden]

none taken,

you can make darfur words to make darfur geographically. make fuck really really huge?

[chrisj]

thanks for all the feedback

i guess i just have to build up from this, use this as a rough idea.. i think i might buy some photos from reuters to add graphics or something

i was always fond of those big black and white pictures on t shirts.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

These literally remind me of cut 'n paste stickers I used to make with MS Word, scissors, glue, and a xerox machine at age 14.

[superdupersang]

how bout those magnetic T's, with small magnetic letter.

imagine walking though an airport, tripping the metal sensors and all hell breaking loose.

anyway, whats a genocide course? sounds interesting

[Jack Paar]

Why dont you take a trip to Darfur and really try do something.

These designs are crap. The morons that would buy them are probably people that keep petrochina in business.

I agree. It's pretty straight forward/boring.

On a side note; why the hell do you care what the design is like if its predominantly intended to be a straight-forward political message?

If you really want to make a difference hold an event, donate to a charity, or make a pilgrimage to aid in relief yourself. I hate when people put brash political statements on t-shirts. 'Statement' T-shirts and bumper stickers are people's excuses for acting like they care.

"Free Tibet" and "Kerry/Edwards 2004" stickers haven't done much.

first order of clothing design is to make something comfortable/functional

second is to make something that looks good

even if i did support this cause and truly care about it, i wouldn't choose buying this tee as a means of expressing myself
