About my design

by epocalypse
now here's a brainbuster! (literally)



six colors on white three shades of gray, red, black and orange.

I wish the detail in the lazer thing was applied to the rest of the design. the person looks like a toy, or the Bic logo guy
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 05 '07
actually, that was intentional. I wanted everything except the laser to look like a cute playskool-style toy. comedic juxtaposition?
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 05 '07
I am working on a new design though, that is all in the more detailed style like the laser

I would also prefer the guy to look excited instead of confused. Either he buys it or he doesn't, I think.

.... i don't get it ....



at all.



anyhow, the composition is very square... especially with the person's shadow being cut off like that ....

The cake is a lie...The cake is a lie...

The cake is a lie...



I don't think many will get the reference.

so far quite a few have, also, it was an internet meme before portal.

podunk42: you mean like all exclamations marks? i wanted him to look surprised.

Wow, very confusing. The styles really seem to clash. I don't understand why he's going to be shot for wanting cake... The cake is a lie? I certainly don't get the reference.
tangleddreams
tangleddreams on Dec 05 '07
I'd like to know about the internet meme-ness as well! :)
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 06 '07
check it out by simply googling "delicious cake meme" you'll find what you're looking for.



i feel that fewer people would be confused if i named this design "ITS A TRAP!"
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 06 '07
the styles were supposed to clash. I wanted everything except the laser to be cute and toy like, and the laser to be this demonic sleek techno-evil, completely out of place in the world of the design

after 24 hours of work on my prjects for college, i love that this piece ever got made. it makes me happy.

It makes me happy, too, I for one love the clashing, and not just for the reference. :)

The room's perspectives look a bit wonky, it would be nice if the lazer pointed at the door (and that is one awesome laser), in addition maybe flip the !?! so it doesn't overlap with the building. Not sure if this shirt will work for threadless because only certain few will get it.

ah Portal...
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 07 '07
i think this shirt is funny even for those who have not played portal or are not aware of the internet meme which portal was referencing, because he is obviously falling into a horrible, horrible trap
tangleddreams
tangleddreams on Dec 07 '07
Yup, I loved it in the 15 seconds before I even got the reference. LOL

here's what i think. first off, your six colors are not utilized very well. if you have used the same shade of red on the character outside the box, it would have cut your colors in 5. btw i can only see about three on first impression.



also it was mentioned that the perspective is "wonky" and i agree. the center of attention of the design is the cake (i'd like to think so) and looking straight directly on the plate you'll notice immediately how off the perspective is. you may want to work on that.



third, i'd like to see the character outside, whatever it is, jive with how complex you rendered the machine inside room/box or something. right now they look like they were pulled off from different designs you know what i mean?



still a great idea concept-wise. :)
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 08 '07
i know what you mean. I was going for an intense contrast between the laser and the guy, and actually, I want the laser to be the first thing people see. the wonked perspective was also intended to over enunciate the laser. still, i guess this is just to off putting for some people, but some people have been enjoying it as well, lets see how it goes! THANKS!
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 08 '07
I think this is the best way of phrasing what I was going for with the different styles in the design:



Look at the guy.

Look at the laser.

Clearly, our little orange peg friend is in WAY over his head.

Why is he surprised if he hasn't seen the laser yet?
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 10 '07
he has been looking for cake, and here, he has finally found it.

Also, I think if anyone was walking along and saw a door with a big sign that said CAKE, we'd be surprised, yeah? lol
epocalypse

I definitely agree with that

THE CAKE IS A LIE!



other than that...



i think it's a rather confusing image. (Not in the sense that it's hard to get what's going on) It's very crowded and ... what's the word... messy...
mezo

First this hurts my eyes (there's nothing to focus on), then it hurts my head (the objects are all too hard/weird to recognize).
epocalypse
epocalypse on Dec 10 '07
christ, mezo, I don't know what to tell you. in the time i've been here I don't think you've liked any of my designs. I actually think the focus is fairly clear, and out of the comments I've received, yours is the first to call it painful to look at. I really don't understand the criticism. If you could be more precise on what it is that makes it hard for you to look at I think i'd know more in terms of what to change.



Ninja.bassist:



how do you mean? I'm very new to using vector programs and precise comments as to what makes it "messy" would be greatly appreciated



(also: yes the cake is a lie)

I would totally rock a shirt based on this reference, but I'm not sure if this is it yet. Aperture thanks you for your effort though, and reminds you that all companion shirts are safe to 4,000 degrees kelvin.

The cake is a lie! And I'm friggin' stuck on level 17!

Actually I played for 4 hours straight and I'm just plum burned out:O



As soon as I saw the thumbnail I new what it was. Great job, but you know this is strictly for us fan boys, right?



















And threadless shatters fan boys dreams into pieces of shattered dreams.

You will be baked. And then there will be cake.



$5 because I love Portal way too much. Way, way, way too much.
