archiTYPEture 2: Letters to Paris

The toughest job was to arrange all those letters. I hope it was worth it, enjoy!

...colin on Sep 15 '06

neat-O

TrnSmleShiftRpt on Sep 15 '06

it almost looks like the plane is going to hit it, but I know you didn't mean it. It's great, though. Fabulous.

jenonen on Sep 15 '06

so perfect!

schneidsra on Sep 15 '06

i agree about the plane. adjust that.

ElizaTerry on Sep 15 '06

WOW WOW WOW I love this.

helo on Sep 15 '06

Really neat concept. I would like to see only the Eiffel Tower on the shirt. The background isn't at the same level of quality as the Tower is.

Mylo on Sep 15 '06

$5 for me

Duddy on Sep 15 '06

take the plane out.

cassisaari on Sep 15 '06

I agree...it would be better with just the tower, or at least a simplified background (preferrably symmetrical).

whootie on Sep 15 '06

goodbye plane -$4

tangleddreams on Sep 15 '06

I agree with the others about the plane, wonderful work though! I think if I were you, my eyes would be crossed right about now. :)

pepa78 on Sep 15 '06

no background,just the tower :-)

ashtray1 on Sep 15 '06

revcruz on Sep 16 '06

Excellent!

backtozero on Sep 16 '06

thanks for the comments threadmates. (reading them made all the hardwork worth it) Just keep the constructive tips coming.

About the plane, I did that to "balance" the clouds on the left. Well I thought it will do the trick, but apparently it quite didn't. Hehe, my bad. But would gladly edit it, if given the chance.

On the other hand, the design was at first backgroundless (only the tower). The problem was the tower's placement. It's too akward for me to put a thin tower with a broad base on the middle of the shirt - it looks like it's missing something (especially on it's upper side of the tower), so the background was made.

Of course, I still need your opinions. Thanks! :)

oops, the enter key doesn't work anymore.. hehe..

porle on Sep 16 '06

highly original (i hope).

yoshi andrian on Sep 16 '06

FIVE!

Cameronn1234 on Sep 16 '06

i REALLY want this shirt

crisco disco on Sep 16 '06

oh man oh man this is beautiful. i really hope it gets printed. $5

crisco disco on Sep 16 '06

oh and i like the bigger center placement best

oratonastick2 on Sep 16 '06

If you would make the plane fly the other way, I guess that would solve the problem.

backtozero on Sep 16 '06

hahaha, oratonstick2, I never thought about that. And I think it does solve the problem!! XD. Because right now, it's like the plane is going to attack the tower... :P

helo on Sep 16 '06

backtozero, go ahead and make whatever changes you want to your design and give it a go by resubmitting it.

backtozero on Sep 16 '06

Yeah. Probably, I'll be doing it on October -- during semestral break.

Aj07 on Sep 17 '06

OMG..this is amazing!!
i wish u sumbited this earlier on i came back a month ago from Paris and it would look cool wearing it there XD

kaloyster on Sep 17 '06

Too boxy

kaloyster on Sep 17 '06

..but definitely improvin', huh?

Nice!

backtozero on Sep 17 '06

i see..maybe I should make the bground rounder?

yahoo! thanks kaloyster.. :D

slow_learner on Sep 17 '06

i like it a lot. uh... i like the 2nd placement. i don't know if i like the idfferent color fonts though. great anyway.

NickyThePoet on Sep 17 '06

I absolutely love this. Nice work. I agree with everyone, flip the plane around and change the b/g sky to a blue or light orange. Good luck! $5

kellybelly3 on Sep 17 '06

i like the first placement $5

aperobic on Sep 17 '06

Good idea, but the color and the size of the pict minds me tourist tee-shirt.

evrfixedmark on Sep 17 '06

i think 'tis super! i don't usually wear navy blue but i just might for this shirt. i would prefer a sky blue. but an excellent idea well-executed.

definitely change the direction the plane is flying though.

$5

organ-donor on Sep 17 '06

i like how the plane and cloud are formed

giantrobobrain on Sep 18 '06

i would not remove the plane/cloud, i think it helps the composition to have the negative space, otherwise it would be to much of the same all over. however, i would make the colors seperate more somehow, maybe not all such a similar value, or at least more bold overall, hard to see the ellow sun against the orange background, at least on the dark blue shirt.

Rainbowbrite on Sep 19 '06

i love this shirt so much and how different it is and i would buy it anyday, except i would remove the plane it looks like its gunna hit the effile tower.

projectinfamy on Sep 19 '06

Smaller placement is tasteful and nice. 5$

OCandCO on Sep 20 '06

All you need to do is point the plane away from the tower. I don't know if someone else suggested that but I just don't have time to read all that.

BippityBoppity on Sep 20 '06

No plane, no cloud. $4

villephant on Sep 21 '06

I like how they arent just erm.. what letter system do we use? arabic? or is that our numbers.. anyway..
i like how they arent just the letter system im using now, but a few different kinds, puts one of these on my face :)
dunno id wear it, though I like it :)

backtozero on Sep 21 '06

I used the alphabet for the background, and most of the tower.
I decided to vary it, so I put some Japanese, Indian and some Greek letters too.

jwalsh on Sep 21 '06

I like this a lot. I like the middle placement the best. I dont really like the shirt color though, but thats more of a personal thing than me not liking the design on the color. Keep it up!

fall3n on Sep 21 '06

wow this is a really awesome deisgn.

ferro_man on Sep 21 '06

i would buy this shirt if the huge image was on the back and the "archiTYPEture" text was on the front

backtozero on Sep 22 '06

Yay. Voting Finished.

Thanks guys!! :)

And about the editing.. hmm.. we'll see if I get enough freetime and motivation. ^^ [Learned a lot from your comments btw]

jesuschrist on Sep 22 '06

I WANT IT

5 days later

TreeFiddy on Sep 27 '06

can this still win?

backtozero on Sep 29 '06

I hope.. and pray.^^

although.. if Threadless will print this, they will have to edit this a bit. the plane stuff, etc etc.. but that's easy, they're experts in that field, and I have the big file anyway.

If this gets printed. Happy will I be, of course. ;)
