Re: Derby Winners = Bags of Win

Amazing work. Great homage and I think it also stands on it's own. GMV!

Eh, first time entering, things are bound to happen. I'll know better next time. I should have just resubmitted when I saw other people getting banned instead of waiting.

Or I guess I could have kept the original up and submitted an altered version that I was sure followed the rules. Is that allowed, having more than one version of your design entered at the same time? Or is it frowned upon? Can any one tell me any practices I should avoid?

Xanzibar wrote:Yay!! looks much better!!

Thanks Xanzibar,

I used the dinosaur thing, minus the sheep... wasn't sure how that would work out.

I agree this is definitely an improvement, just wish I would have submitted this friday to give it more of a chance.

I did what they said 580x580... and the woot in the mirror is not changed.. it just got squeezed when i loaded it.

Yes, it should be 580x580px. If you had it all correct when uploading, it should have been fine. Did you "squeeze" it yourself when sizing down to 580x580? Your black background fills the entire square area so I don't see how it could have been a problem on Woot's end.

Re: your earlier question, yellow background (or black, even) is allowed according to the rules.

You can submit multiple versions of a design to the same derby. People often do this when they really can't decide between two or more colour schemes. The main problem is that the tactic can potentially split your votes (i.e. some people only vote for the version they like better when they would have voted for the other one if it was the only one available). For that reason, people often let the multiple versions gather votes for about a day and remove all but the most popular before the 24 hour window is closed (you can remove an entry from the contest within 24 hours of submission).

You can check the links in my signature for lots of derby tips. Practices to avoid... don't comment on a bunch of designs just to advertise your own entry.

Thank you very much for the awesome feedback. I would love to see this print in any form! Hopefully the votes will keep coming to keep it in contention. Thanks again.

Re: there is something awesome in here

*pimps*

Re: Flower Rush

Nice pattern, but the yellow blobby bits near the swooshes ruin it for me.

Re: AirMail!

Clever.

Re: Thinking Of You...

That blue on the shirt does not match the specified colour. and the lines are very thin.

Re: Let's go to the Beach!

Re: Worker Bees

Supercute! Nicely done.

very nice illustration. I love it.

Thanks for the info, eHalcyon

Re: Squid Ink

This is cool, very cute too!

Re: I'm a glutton for woot!

Sorry for ruining the design joe

But its still moving, even though its unattached to anything. Thats what i'd call a zombie hand.

This deserves to be higher!!

That would be an awesome idea!!

Re: The Crown

I like this design, there is something in the style with the colors that is appealing. Has a 70s feel perhaps?
Though it would be nice to see it on the bag.
I'm also confused to what that black shape in the corner is. Someone said alligator - I thought it was a hand making bunny ears, which didn't make sense, at least not to me;)

Re: Shirt Woot Bloop

Here is an unconstrained version:

Cute squids ^_^
GMV!

Thanks! I didn't get to look around the derby that well since I was so late so I am relieved there isn't a similar idea out there, at least that I've seen so far!

Thank you! Side note: Blue and gold were my high school colors so this felt kind of familiar in a way, hehe.

Thanks lucky! Actually I think the same thing about yours;)

sugareeali wrote:This made me laugh

Same here! teehee.

i really want this to be the bag.

Re: HEY YOU GUYS!

Nice!

Re: Paradise in the Bag

Best design. easiest on the eyes. I would like to see only one woot logo and much smaller. I Love blank space!!!!!

studio1172 wrote:Rejected because of photo? I used a photo that I took, adjusted it and separated it into two colors. It is part of the way that I have designed for years. I assure you that this design is 100% mine from start to finish and could have printed without a hitch. Both colors had a proper trap, no crazy overlays, or halftones. Nice solid shapes that would have burned nicely on a screen or plate for printing.

This is quite disappointing. For this style is how I do some designs. I take photos of the elements for some of my work. But everything I do is in vector format and can separate with ease for printing. I have done this for various clients, posters, and shirts, cd designs, coporate marketing, and mailing products. I have had no problem printing them. Maybe someone can clarify for me what is wrong.

I wonder if the print file had been reviewed?

Anyway, I appreciate those that voted for this design. I will take it and use it for a different application. Maybe DBH or somewhere else. I think it would make a cool shirt with just a little adjustment.

Was the photo it was based on a stock photo, or did you take it from something? In that situation there could be licensing issues.

Re: Woot Bubble

That monster blowing bubbles looks familar. Did you draw it?

mitchellp wrote:That monster blowing bubbles looks familar. Did you draw it?

Yes I did. I've submitted it as a T before. If it can't win a T, then maybe it can win a bag!

" I used a photo that I took, adjusted it and separated it into two colors. "

It was apparently a picture he took.

Thanks kasey, and all the rest! Thanks for the votes and nice comments.

Xanzibar wrote:That blue on the shirt does not match the specified colour. and the lines are very thin.

The shirt is done all in half-tones with the shirt.woot blue color - it's more apparent on the larger version. I did everything with vectors because I don't have my tablet at the moment, but everything should be printable as far as I am aware.

this is my 1st time sorry for the weird entry lol

Re: Shocked!

This is a brilliant idea! Shirt packaged in a shirt!

I don't know enough about the tech to say why this could be happening, but it seems to be happening to an awful lot of people this week. That suggests to me that maybe it is something on the Woot end that's going wrong.

But again: not a tech-head, so take that with a grain of salt. Or silicon, maybe, in this case.

Xanzibar wrote:Seems kinda blocky to me.

It's features are pretty much exclusively round. Blocky?

Re: Shirt Woot Bloop

Awesome design, shame it was entered so late.

Re: Woot Bubble

There are too many bubbles, which make it overcrowded and messy. Nice idea though.

Re: Shocked!

Yeah, your supposed to enter it on a BAG template, so it can be put on a BAG. And that baby looks like a photo.

Re: REVOLUTION IS NOW!

Thanks guys for the support of this design! I greatly appreciate it! Let me know you thoughts and/or a good why to fix chicken. Dinner is almost on!
