Shirt.Woot

BTW, RE my early thought -"Darnit. I was just about set on a design of an exhausted doe bunny surrounded by her 987 babies! Or, er - well, as many as would fit on the shirt, as long as it was F(n)."
Please, feel free. I can't advocate for chibi subs featuring the Rabbit Experitment. While it isn't something I can pursue while I try to move, move jobs, etc. If you do it, do it well. No vacant-eyed multiplying lagomorphs, puh-leeze.

A while back, some months, someone did a sub that I think was based on the golden ratio - the perfect peroportions of a human female face. I recall commenting on how it reminded me of an old sci-fi/thriller, Looker, with Albert Finney and Susan Dey (written by Michael Chrichton). I'd like to get another look at that. Might work will with this theme, if you're reading.

Got it: Science of Beauty by sgr1021. It needed some work, but was PERFECT for this derby. Was a long time ago - over a year, in shirt.woot time. And yeah, our time, too. Still. I wish this artist were still about to refine/resub this.

Would binary be considered math? If so I have an awesome idea....if not then I'm out this week...was never any good at math. My husband says it is but I want to check with the wooters before I put in the amount of time and effort required for it.

Well heres what i got so far....

its called "MAG-PI'D"



i think its just stupid enough to work =)

this theme is a hard one to say the least.
racked my brain all day and this is what I got. I hope people dig it.

This is supposed to be pi? Then there should be a tenth of a bird after the decimal point, and that looks like way more than a tenth. Plus, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I don't think this really qualifies as "math in nature."

Fair enough. But to be SUPER fair, in the contest description, theres the line "Or, y'know, put two little birds on a shirt and say something wheat grass like, "LOL COUNTING!!!1!" "

I have 3.14 birds here, so using math alone that should be considered a win. But more importantly, i say to you, good sir, that mine own entry is just as, if not more, absurd and wheat grass than that....while in keeping with the spirit of the prescribed rule-set.

If 2 birds using the English language merely MENTION'ing something math related will meet minimum requirements than this one should as well.

And the .14159 mag-pi at the end, well the number could be referring to any relative measurement; weight, density, average feathers-per square mile.....take ur pick...im sure one of them could be rationalized as being the 14% proportion needed to be in keeping with the gag. =)

I would definitely go for this, good choice for shirt color too. Reminds me of Android OS HoneyComb, which I am a fanboy of.

Ok, no answer on whether the "nature" has to be real or not, so here's what I've been working on...thoughts? Suggestions? I need to go to sleep since I have to work in the morning...

Here's what I'm submitting, though I'm not sure if it'll pass muster.
I have another one, even more silly.


Cube roots by Ape Lad, on Flickr

All done....so far.....unless i get feedback that forces me to go make changes...which im totally down with. (HELP ME!)



I LOVE U

I actually thought it was supposed to be 1/4th of a bird, and that was just a clever way of representing the "14" in 3.14, but that was just me,,,

This should help people understand the whole "math in nature" theme a little better.

Thanks for posting this. It is a great video!

That's all I got so far. Ian Malcom's Chaos Theory. Not sure when I'll have time to finish it.

here are my entries. I'm not sure what to call them

Is there any way you guys could work a Dyson Sphere into this? I really wish to live inside one of those things and am not opposed to advertising it.

Also, per Wikipedia: Not to be confused with Dyson ball.

Looks really great on the shirt - nice one!

Now that's just funny, right there. My only crit would be that the left hand is extremely angular, while the right is not. Kinda bugs me just a little bit.

I think a graphic representation of nature is fine, as opposed to realism. This isn't my kind of thing, but it's pretty.

I don't know that I would change anything on my say-so, but I kinda liked it better before you added all that extra outlining.

I think they are both beautiful!

I LOVE this. Excellent execution!

Well.... hopefully I'm on topic. It's animals.... animals are nature. Right?

Winner! Great colors, hypnotising layout. O_O

Way to go Radscoolian.

Someone please put two little birds on a shirt and say something wheat grass like, "LOL COUNTING!!!1!"

I don't know squat about math, except what I can Google (holdover from my headcase anti-establishment days), but I GET this. I don't need to know the fancy-named equations or whatthefrigever to get the symmetry and the abstraction.
Nice kick-off for the derby!

Thanks, I was considering adding the equation, but this suggests that would be overkill.

So, so gorgeous. If it doesn't get printed here, is there any way I can buy it somewhere else? Literally. I love it.
My only worry is that the grey won't show up enough on the shirt to make it clear.... anyone know the woot! printing well enough to clarify this?

Comments?

A Dyson Sphere would be the heighth of intelligence and therefore would not be considered natural

It should print fine. I've gotten shirts where they printed gray on navy, and it looked/still looks good. Lighter inks on darker shirts usually are fine- it's the blacks on the navies and asphalts that is hard to see.

I have this, from the S derby - very similar in coloring. Looks just fine.
