i like it alot.
i think the key is in it’s simplicity and subtle colors.
the non-flashy design isn’t too intense or anything.. like the kind of clever art found in a really well illustrated children’s book.
and to the person who said that a box doesn’t work well on a shirt..i think that if the "box" is big enough and more the rectangle shape that the design actually is..it fits well on a t-shirt…it would also look cool on the back of a t-shirt….
Think "outside the box". It’s a cool design, but you definitely could do without the square. It gets a vote for the negative space invisible. Lord knows I love negative space!
people leave the nastiest comments on this site. i’m getting sick of it.
as for the guidelines, my design doesn’t contain the phrase "invisible line", and it happens to reference one of their songs, "invisible ink".
seriously, everyone needs to get a life. it’s unfortunate that you spend your free time browsing this website and leaving non-constructive comments on shirts you don’t like. if you don’t like it, don’t say anything. that’s why there’s the VOTING system.
sorry that my comment didn’t have anything constructive to offer. i think it’s a good concept, just make the design work together with the shirt and you’re good. go for a full composition that’s your design along with the shirt, not just a composition on a shirt serving as a frame.
Once this is on a tee, the paper portion of the design will flow with the fabric of the tee. It won’t look so stiff. That could actually be a pretty good look.
the rectangle shape doesn’t work here. rip out a page from a notebook and throw it on the table. does it look like a perfect square with all sides straight and aligned so perfectly parallel to the sides of the table? i really doubt so. that’s the problem with your design. the design itself tries to accomplish a natural look but the composition of the design is extremely unnatural. both things conflict here.
and besides, this is not school and not your family, this is the real market. they don’t give you a head start if this is your first use of photoshop. so it’s not very adequate to bring that up.
please don’t get all self-righteous about art. i realize this is the "real market". that would be why i entered my design. i would appreciate it if everyone could refrain from being a nasty human being.
i’m sort of sick of your comments, pistolshotxx. you don’t really have anything constructive or positive to add. i know you think you’re all high and mighty in the art world, but it gets old fast. in addition, your page says you’re only sixteen, and neither of your two designs have won yet. so be careful when doling out judgements and "warnings". and perhaps wait until you’re out of highschool.
just to clarify, i drew this by hand and scanned it into the computer. the only thing time i used photoshop was to superimpose the image onto the t-shirt template, and also for a little pixel resizing.
allie,change your design and resubmit it..the idea is there, maybe you can full the t-shirt with your art,so the shirt will look like note book,make the dot n scatch darker,my opinion only.. ;)
thanks for the support :)
i think i might resubmit it, like you suggested… this is completely different from all of my other art, and i know i could make this better.
again, thanks!

jonathanleosirois Mar 26, 2008
dat’s ^
Str4ng3r Mar 26, 2008
i don’t like it
.pistolshotxx Mar 26, 2008
It doesnt work well on a tshirt. The ‘box’ effect doesnt work well with this.
allie Mar 26, 2008
this is the first design i’ve ever submitted, and my first time using photoshop. cut me some slack.
bunny Mar 26, 2008
you go girl.
pistolshotxx Mar 26, 2008
Its constructive criticism. If you can’t learn to take it, stop designing, cause thats all your going to get, no matter how great your designs are.
allie Mar 26, 2008
calm down. i’m an artist who is used to and a fan of constructive critism. i was referring to str4ng3r’s comment "i don’t like it".
kelsey3 Mar 26, 2008
its cutee !

not bad at all for a first-timer either. bravo.
voter1 Mar 26, 2008
wow tiny matthaus is the bomb!
onceaboy Mar 26, 2008
this is pretty cool. i dont know if I personally would wear it but it would be cool to see on the street.
tofutticutie1 Mar 26, 2008
thats pretty sweet. If it were in a store i’d so put it in the carriage.
bahstonyahd Mar 26, 2008
mmmm as yummy as chourice.
adam4598 Mar 26, 2008
not that bad…
hipauliee Mar 26, 2008
i dont know if i’d wear it. the idea is relevant to the band which is pretty cool :)
whirly Mar 26, 2008
really cool design…different…subtle…makes you want to wear it around and have people try to figure it out!!! doesn’t hit you over the head!!
whirly Mar 26, 2008
and to the person who said that a box doesn’t work well on a shirt..i think that if the "box" is big enough and more the rectangle shape that the design actually is..it fits well on a t-shirt…it would also look cool on the back of a t-shirt….
jsymonsdesign Mar 26, 2008
i dont know
Reface Mar 27, 2008
sorry, I don’t like it that much..
merimeri Mar 27, 2008
I don’t think that it works on a t-shirt, although i like the design itself. Maybe if it hadn’t the paper leaf on the back it would work better.
jamesgilbody Mar 27, 2008
not the best design to the brief in my opinion, wouldn’t wear it out
shantyshawn Mar 27, 2008
Think "outside the box". It’s a cool design, but you definitely could do without the square. It gets a vote for the negative space invisible. Lord knows I love negative space!
the_jcw Mar 27, 2008
how did this get so many votes?
Reyburn Mar 27, 2008
thought the same…
righteouscatti Mar 27, 2008
personally i might go for a different shirt color besides the dark gray, but i like that the design has something to do with the band.
felix_orchy Mar 27, 2008
i like how you dotted the i’s.
jsheldon Mar 27, 2008
Unfortunately the Contest Guidelines state:
"Designs should not contain the name of the band nor album name."
Sorry to burst your bubble.
pasici Mar 27, 2008
not feeling it…

see, THAT was constructive critism. thank you. i appreciate it! i like critiques, it’s the nasty "i don’t like it" comments that i don’t like.
jonmkl Mar 27, 2008
i think it would look sweet if the whole shirt looked like a piece of notebook paper!
twinkie Mar 28, 2008
i agree with jonmkl sweet design though
dudley53 Mar 28, 2008

nouseforname Mar 28, 2008
i dont know about this… im sure it would be cool for a shirt, but does it deserve an award?

allie im going to tell you again, if you cant take people telling you stuff like dagnis wrote, get out of this market cause it only gets worse
allie Mar 30, 2008
my dad is an artist. i know what the "real market" is like.
allie Mar 30, 2008
i’m sort of sick of your comments, pistolshotxx. you don’t really have anything constructive or positive to add. i know you think you’re all high and mighty in the art world, but it gets old fast. in addition, your page says you’re only sixteen, and neither of your two designs have won yet. so be careful when doling out judgements and "warnings". and perhaps wait until you’re out of highschool.

you just got served pistolshot! hahaha

just to clarify, i drew this by hand and scanned it into the computer. the only thing time i used photoshop was to superimpose the image onto the t-shirt template, and also for a little pixel resizing.
allie Apr 05, 2008
the only time*
Swappler Apr 25, 2008
its a shame that this is beating a wolf. Its just good enough to get everyones vote without them actually loving it. Its mediocre.
bogoio May 06, 2008
I DON’T LIKE IT, SORRY
jamsam13 Jun 07, 2008
Pretty ugly. Paper’s too dark, placement’s awkward…the design isn’t that complex, and it’s not really good enough to rely on just its simplicity.
Spunkalicious Jul 18, 2008
left you a vote. Don’t forget to check "Blooming Imagination in my profile.
laili_ Jul 19, 2008
allie,change your design and resubmit it..the idea is there, maybe you can full the t-shirt with your art,so the shirt will look like note book,make the dot n scatch darker,my opinion only.. ;)
