About my design

by antosh   
Unicorns are so corny! gotta love them, display them on your bosom:)

I gave two colour options for this shirt because even though I think it should definitely be on yellow(it's the corn after all), yellow doesn't look good on some people, as was pointed out to me in the past:)

i've already seen a design like this on another t-shirt website
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Makes Cows Mad
The rays really seem like a gradiant.
antosh
   antosh on Apr 30 '07
The rays are a colour halftone, so it can be printed.

And what was the website that you saw a similar design on?, I'm curious to see it :)

But really, a great thinker once said, all the original ideas are the ones that have been forgotten. Yep, I am sure that it's all been done before sometime somewhere.

Well ... what's never been done before? If you search for similarities you'll probably find out that there's nothing that's never been done yet.



How did you do that halftone-gradient?

I like this. It's about time all those bloody twee unicorn designs were satirised.
antosh
   antosh on May 01 '07
Kno, the halftone gradient was done by changing the grayscale art of the rays into bitmap, that gives you an option of breaking it up into that halftone pattern. Then you can drop the result back into your working file.

Hope it helps.

yeah, but that one doesnt even make sense as a pun. This one is actually uni-corn, the other is multi-corn...oddly the one place that should have been corn isn't, on that other sub. THis is very iconic and well done.

Good rendering. You took a cheesy pun & actually made it look great and NOT cheesy. It appears you tried to add some distressing to the body of the unicorn? It looks like you can add more to it, or take it out. It is too minimal right now. 4

   travis76 on May 01 '07
maybe it's because of the heavy body shadow, but the head/neck looks a bit to big for the body. that doesn't keep it from being an all around classy ass design though.4!

i think this is the last one I'll look at today, even thought there are 100 left that I haven't scored yet. that Croakus frog thing a minute ago and now this- cant take it anymore.



STOP THE PUNS, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish Threadless would put them in a separate category so I could automatically give them zeros.

Stop it.

This is so utterly.. strange. In a way it is rather bland.. but that's what I like about it. I didn't even get the 'uni-corn' pun at first... but I love it!!

Oh, thanks for giving me a zero blandford, that will really help my avarage score. If that unicorn was real, I'd get it angry and unleash it upon you in all it's fury!:(

Just for the record, the tees at vintagevantage suck monkey ass. And I'm not convinced that the unicorn here was even inspired by the unicorn there.



Anyway...



I'd really like this, but the neck seems way thick... Work that out, resub, and I'd $5 it. As it is, 3.

Yes, I was already pointed to that site after submittling my design:)

However, I believe that just because someone had a similar idea to mine should not affect the quality of the entry. I am glad you like it though. Besides theirs is quite different to mine anyway.



Obviously who ever put their work up first is the one who came up with the concept first, hence your rhetorical question. But if you were serious in asking it then the answer is- I have no idea.
