Inspired by the Lite Brite and my best friend.

My sister and I used to have a lite brite and we would leave each other messages. Whenever I see a lite brite I am reminded of growing up with her. That’s why I am submitting it for the "Let me tell you bout my best friend" contest. I submitted a design with a similar concept a few weeks ago but I took the advice of some of the comments and revised it.

You can color in the dots with a sharpie marker making a message or design of your own. Sharpie has a series of 15 oil based permanent markers made for rubber and cloth. As well have the rub-a-dub marker that guarantees that it will with stand multiple washes.

I greatly appreciate everyone’s feedback and advice. Thanks.

It was called 'Light's Alive' in the UK - great fun!

its a cool concept with a washable marker. it just seems like this could have been done b4 maybe. either way good idea and it gives kind of an illusion just by starring at it.

Add in a secret message in UV/glow in the dark ink.

You already did a similar idea:

This is pretty much the same concept but with less room.

Bontebok-- He is the same person that made the other light bright shirt.

The glow in the dark message is an awesome idea!!

Actually in the US the Lights Alive was different from the Light Brite. I know because I had one. Lights Alive had little tiny bubbles you poked in with supplied plastic pins (like a stylus) or rollers. Light shone through the bubbles when they were poked in. You reset it by sliding the screen up which poked the bubbles back out. There is a PDF with pictures here: http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=cs_instructions&letter=L

If this had a glow in the dark awesome design in it, i'd rate this pretty high. As it was, I was waiting for about ten seconds for the design to change, but it never did. A bit too plain as is.

i do like the concept and execution, but i almost think instead of giving the buyer the option, this shirt would make a stronger impact if you made some clever or witty design/statement

I really like this concept, especially if the markers were washable.

I like this a lot more than your previous submission.
Glow/UV ink (or BOTH!) would be a great way to infuse some creativity into it.
Good luck!

Indeed! This would get a $5 w/ glow in the dark ink from me

personally, i would want some tiny LEDs attachable to the shirt, allowing for the ultimate in customization. then again, i might as well just get a litebright at that point.
