Not if you don't care about the outcome.

Good, they never load on the big page properly for me anyway. And the flashing is just annoying. Haven't liked gif thumbnails since I first saw one in the last Halloween derby.
But who said it and where?

Keep it the same view-point as the work+caffeine guy, just standing and waving pants instead of looking wired. I don't think you need that extra frame at the bottom at all.

Simple is better with this one. Very funny idea

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future designs.

Nice work!

Aww, thanks for coming by my table! It was good to see other wooters at Comic Con. I reallly, really wanted to do that fairy tale theme derby, but there was just no time.

LOL kitties! I thought of the idea for this one on Friday after the derby had started and just had to see if I could get it done.

C'est chouette! Merci beaucoup Spiritgreen

On that note, isn't parody protected under fair use? I don't think they can send cease and desist orders (with any legal backing) on such a thing.

Parody is a defense, not a right. The copyright owner can sue and could win.

Great colors. I like both ;).

Re: Avocado's Number

If you have the time or inclination, maybe try some of the other T sites, or at a minimum submit for a daily here. I'd love to see some of your work get printed.

Sounds like a plan. Best of luck!

Re: Close Call

I love the colors on this shirt. Great work.

Re: Periodic Turntable

This is just so freaking cool. Sweet design work.

He obviously does care though, since he keeps responding. Despite saying he's not touched by it...the line 'doth protest too much' seems applicable.

I vote for not saying "doth" anymore.

taternuggets wrote:I vote for not saying "doth" anymore.

I disagree. We need more "doth" in the world.

tanios wrote:Honestly, this is my favorite design of all that I've seen for this derby. Enough that I'd buy it, despite my distaste for unionized labor. Unfortunately, what does it for me is the HP references. I'd have rather seen something like Paracelsus or some famous early chemist mentioned before a couple of imaginary literary characters when the rest is basically tied to historical references. The literature just seems out of place. But, that's just my opinion. Still, a great design overall.

Great design, very clever. I'd rather see references to historically recognized alchemists like Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (aka Paracelsus) , Wei Po-Yang, Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber), Hermes Trismegistus. A lot of chemists do follow HP, but also a lot are embarrassed by it.

ochopika wrote:If you're using Photoshop, just click on the crop tool, and enter "580 px" in both the width and height boxes. Crop your whole shirt comp that way. You could just go to image and image size, but if your image isn't perfectly square then I think its more straightforward to crop it.

If you're using GIMP and your image isn't perfectly square (which it isn't), click image>scale image, then scale JUST the height to 580 px, AND add 100 pixel/in to the resolution (ex: if its 300 pixel/in make it 400. Makes it less blurry in my experience). Make sure that the width is linked to the height so that it scales and doesn't become distorted.

Click on image>canvas size and make the canvas size 580x580 px (click the chain-thingy so that the h and w aren't linked). In this window you can move the canvas around so that it frames the right things. Now when you flatten your image and save it as a .gif, it should be 580x580px.

Lots of text. Hope that helps!

i was actually using illustrator. i set it up to 580 but that weird. if i fix it and resubmit it, won't it delete my votes thus far?

Genius!

Unfortunately, yes.

Re: Atoms Everywhere

This shirt makes me think of one of my favorite quotes. And it's beautiful! GMV

"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today."
— Lawrence M. Krauss

Funny the rejection points to some obscure cell-phone-wallpaper-hawking site when the image is straight from the movie poster.

I'm surprised no one caught the movie poster before. Seems like there would be a few people on shirt.woot who would recognize that image. Not saying I would have, mind you, but I'm not a huge X-men fan.

Nice catch, j5. BlindDog, severely disappoint, especially since I liked some of your previous work. I'm always going to question your future submissions now, assuming woot allows you to continue to submit.

This design is adorable and I would love to have it as a poster, too.

Re: React Button

I guess since the previous woot shirt facebook button is now out of the reckoning we need a new one??

I really like this one.

Re: Soaperafication of an Ester

It really sucks that this one is so far from the cloud... Really well executed story!
