its a pitty this won the 10 k, totally not worth it imo.
REPRINT!!!!!!!
This is not the design we voted for (obviously not your fault collision)
Congrats. I didn’t really like the original colors, and I think it looks way less kitschy now that it’s printed. But it’s true that it’s a little oversized.
DHB, good job for the final print, but i understand that people get angry, because you changed the original design, which they had voted for. This is not the artist“s artwork, now, it’s a sorta coproduction.
I will join the many in saying that I am greatly saddened by the DBH interpretation of the original artwork. The depth and layering of the bold colors in the original made me vote for it. This printing lacks the depth, the intrigue, the awesomeness. If I had known how boring this would look when redesigned by DBH I’d have never voted for it. With only two of the original 5 colors and the disturbing use of gray and white shirts, this stunning artwork lost its value and has descended into that of a simple t-shirt with a complex incomprehensible design. This Human is not happy.
REPRINT!
the smaller sun was better too, the fact that the sun is bigger just leaves this shirt with less personality, there is a HUGE void right in the middle of the shirt. previously there was more variety of colors and more of it since the sun was smaller.
I still cant believe the terrible job that DBH did on this shirt, it was a perfect design with TERRIBLE execution.
Post complaints to the contact link at bottom to DBU team— Reprint!
I agree, i want the original color too~ if this will stay like this, it wont be “sun” effect thinngy, sun should be warm colors~!! X3
The white versions offered here look like shit. It honestly looks like accidentally paint splatter on your shirt. Why would anyone buy them?
Original design even… IMO didn’t deserve 1st place.
No offense designer, but the reason it isnt original design(non-color-wise) is because your design had siginificant issues with placement and use of space. The bottom half of the shirt in the original was awkward. So to fix it they added in those blurs of yellow and red. The basic design (not colors) is better in this printed version. And I don’t really think the old colors add anything more to the shirt, the design is just uninteresting in general.
I would like to see stormink design a shirt so I could decide if it has a future in any 10,000 US $ contest either by DBH or any of the similar websites.
So how about it, stormink?
StormInk, I think you’re missing the point. Why would DBH totally jack over the original design? That’s the whole point of it. To be original. By changing so many elements it doesn’t even look like the artists work anymore. If they can pull of PPP then they can do this. It’s fine if you didn’t like the original-but it still shouldn’t go against the artwork. Doing so goes against the grain of what DBH has stood for. I personally felt the original design was enthralling and placement and flow were excellent.
I really appreciate how DBH is supporting an active artistic community, but at the same time I have to agree with others that this is wrong, and at least would appreciate an official description of why so many elements were changed. I would feel the same way if I didn’t like this design.
When will DBH learn? sigh…. Why ask peope to vote then? I’ve been saying this so many times whenever DBH printed the tees in colours not offered for voting or when brilliant work from designers like dagnis get like 100 over votes and still get binned..DBH should just get together everyday and print what they like..screw the votes..isn’t this what’s happening now?
REPRINT!
