thanks mates. i believe the gold ink will tremendously.



this was in the critique and a few mates suggested the use of engravings like pure/fine gold, 999,9 etc but i find that will be a dead give away of what is happening. appreciate their support.



anyway in the end i use the original idea of letting the gold ink express itself.



thanks for voting :)

rephrase*

thanks mates. my intention was to use the gold ink to highlight the 'goldness' of this design.



hope i dont confuse any :)



have a nice weekend mates

at least the ''shimmering'' part doesn't makes it look like a butter..=)

*thumbs up*

keep it up!!

it's great, maybe if you put 24K on the side of the bar?fish? then it would make more sense.

I was gonna say the lovechuck suggestion, so that's two folks who think it could be a bit more spelled-out what that yellow shape is on your tee.

gold ink wont help?
radreb
radreb on Jul 20 '08
here you go sinwon gold bars with "Pure Gold" engraved in it

you got the shape right, maybe just put on it "Pure Gold"

sinwon
sinwon on Jul 20 '08
thanks guys. i will prepare an 'texted' version.
sinwon
sinwon on Jul 20 '08
i thought the use of gold ink was going to explain the design but hmmm, perhaps not. anyway, here is the one with 24k added:

many thanks

perhaps i mis-communicated on the 'gold ink' part, which actually i was

suggesting really shiny metallic ink like the one used for

hero within.


though i dont have the shirt i've seen others (means other shirts) printed in

this kind of ink.

Oh, I thought it was butter at first.

oops!
MightyCow
MightyCow on Jul 20 '08
It's butter. I refuse to accept any other explanation.
sinwon
sinwon on Jul 20 '08
thus as a deisgner, i have failed...

not that i think i qualify to be called one :D
Merzi
Merzi on Jul 21 '08
I really think the gold ink/foil will get the idea across. But the texted version is not bad either.

ejaboy on Jul 21 '08
I think, this is nice. You aint failed Sinwon. :D

The second one, with the met gold brick and black fins, is my favourite.

if you can do like a goldfoil thing for the gold part, it might deter people from thinking "butter" cause I thought that too.
sinwon
sinwon on Jul 22 '08
dear its.shan.shan

i've been saying that from the very beginning. i wonder whether people dont read or they think it cant work. gold ink or gold foil, anything, that suggest 'gold'...

Coolness. I dig it with and without text.I'm wondering if at that angle you mightn't spot a bit of his other fin coming out underneath? Might make things too busy. But I like it a lot.
Macquarian
Macquarian on Jul 23 '08
Oops - must add, currently suggested placement doesn't do it for me. I'd go front and centre, slightly smaller. A shiny gold bar is never going to be subtle and tucked away in a corner... (5$).

TommyJoel on Jul 23 '08
NICE

mewey on Jul 23 '08
Maybe some shine/shading so it doesn't look like butter.

But even before I got the pun, I still loved it. Nice work.
aseretkavon
aseretkavon on Jul 24 '08
maybe do gold foil AND the 24k? I'd really dig it that way :) and actually no, I did NOT think butterfish when I saw it because I thought the shape of it was convincing enough to be a gold bar off the bat, but I know people that would think butterfish instead. As it is now, 4$, but if 24k is added, or it's printed in foil, or even a combination of both, 5$ all the way (if I could afford it, ha)

it does kind of look like a stick of butter, but i still $5 it.
quister
   quister on Jul 24 '08
The gold ink would totally say gold and not butter. Foil would work even better. No doubt in my mind that every viewer would get the gold fish riddle. Great work. $5

I agree that a karat stamp would help it not look like butter.

i thought it was butter immediately too... but pretty funny nonetheless
