GMV, regardless.

Arbitrary calorie rules are thus: any food, no matter how sweet and delicious, is zero-calorie if taken from someone else's plate. As long as you didn't order it yourself, you're in the clear. So sayeth my girlfriend.

Thanks for the vote!

I think the general rule of thumb is resubs are allowed if you've made a substantial change to the design either conceptually or visually that makes it a "different" design. That's somewhat objective, but they are usually pretty strict about it (most get rejected, one or two have slipped through the cracks).

But with this having now survived two rounds of rejections, it would appear that, once again, different rules apply to Ramy as to anyone else.

Thanks! I actually debated the size of the pretzel on the shirt and figured the bacteria would be a nice surprise for anyone looking...plus it's a good excuse for people to stare at your chest. Eh? EH?

This week, show us your take on the Scientific Method. Maybe you'll attest to the value of repeatable results, show us an experiment in motion, or just cram a beaker onto a cute fuzzy animal design and say, "IT'S TOTALLY SCIENCE!

This is this artist's take on the scientific method. and may be used as an explanation for other designs which have been questioned as to being on theme or not. That's my 2 cents...

Re: Curiosity Kills V2

definitely prefer the darker version +1.
call me twisted but you designs darker bent appeals to me each week.

Thanks!

Re: Darwin's Data

This definitely deserves more votes.

Re: Bee Careful

This is super cute and if printed my daughter would love it. I showed her the pic and she was all, I want that daddy! Thanks! ;)

Re: (V2) Do plants grow better with music?

The shirt detail doesn't do this design justice. After clicking it and seeing the full design I love it.

Re: Donuts are Devils Riding Unicorns

This needs more votes.

mjc613 wrote:Not crazy about the placement

Agree. Putting a bottle, even one filled with formula, across the bust is a bad idea.

And yes it's science, just not method. This derby seems to be having difficulty getting both without lots of panels on the shirt.

Re: She Blew Me Up With Science

I agree with everyone else.. The design, concept, coloring and shading are wonderful. My only suggestion is rather small and can be discarded... I might have pulled the elements together more. Right now the chalkboard, cheese, lab rat and beaker rocket w/ cat appear a bit separated. Having them touch more, having them overlap a bit more, might draw the design together bit more. This is just a thought mind you. I still love the design.

Re: science party!

the color sceme and the little twist of macabre and lime has me lovin' it.

Re: The Science of Beauty

the rendering and concept are well done, IMO. I also like the placement on the shirt. My only crit would be color choice and shirt color. I wonder if something technical like this might appear better on cream similar to how well the pb&j shirt is doing. Just thought. Keep on rockin'!

Resubs have been allowed, but Woot has rejected resubs if there haven't been significant changes. Of course, "significant" can be a moving target, so it's hard to say if something will be rejected or not based on a resub.

Re: Conclusion: An Edgy 'Do Scores Chicks

Funny and smart entry. The rendering on the penguins is well done. Great job. I wish it was getting more.

Normscoffee wrote:I don't think they are but that still doesn't answer why Ramy would lie about making changes to the shirt.

It's not a direct resub. I outlined the specific changes that I made, there was no lying involved. The comment that I made is that the significance of the changes is a moot point because the design was rejected in its original derby, and woot has set a precedent for allowing resubmissions of shirts regardless of edits being made or not in that situation in the past. In fact, a direct resub went on to win in the two derby. Therefore, I thought it was a point not worth arguing. The original design is still online for everyone who wants to compare, you can compare the two and see the changes. But significant changes or not, it was rejected in its original derby so it should be fair game.

Re: Making a Friend

I like the big print and the design is sweet and well done. I wish was getting more love.

Re: OOPS!

I prefer this one as well.

Re: Mr. Potato Head Clock

I lost count at a dozen colors, and your thumbnail and comp don't match.

Re: Cellular Technology

The design and concept is sweet but as others have said the shirt color is not one used by woot. but don't be discouraged please keep entering. If you could tweak the shirt color and resub the design is worth it.

That'd be like Donald Trump becoming a buddhist and giving up all wordly possessions. And who wants to see that?

GMV!

Argh! Electrons are not little particles whizzing around on lines... Besides that, great shirt

Agreed. I didn't think about it until it was too late. :-(

Little known fact:
The 5 second rule actually applies to the time after you SEE the food item, and everytime you blink, the clock automatically resets. For some reason, however, this law does not apply to soups or mashed potatoes, despite the fact that they are food.
The greatest scientific minds of our time have yet to figure out why this is.

Definitely got my vote.

Re: Zu Chongzhi's estimate

In the first millenium, Zu Chongzhi built upon the work of earlier mathematicians to calculate pi correctly to 7 decimals.

A bit exaggerated, I think. We can have shirts without pop culture references. This Spiritgreen guy did one, for example

Shirts have been reje4cted much later than this in the past - last Wednesday, for example. Monday's usually a pretty big day for them.

Re: Number Nine

In all honesty, it was meant to look like an exploding gas heart from a test tube. At 580px a lot of the details in the cloud get lost. I hope it doesn't get rejected, but if they decide to, well, then there's nothing I can do about that. I hope you all like it in a purely platonic way.

Re: Bee Careful

Aw, this is really cute.

This is in no way the Scientific Method.

Re: Extreme Makeover

Very clever way of showing this concept lucky. And cute drawing of course - I especially like the frog and the little martini!

Theme is the essence of the derby. If you want to buy generic shirts, shop at TeeFury.
