Thanks!

Re: 1988

Sigh. I knew it was just a matter of time, but I couldn't resist the opportunity!

I considered to put the gun, but I thought that, if I did that, nobody (even less people) would understand the idea of the shirt.

:/



Thanks for all the feedback! it's very important to me.

Cool. That would be good. I just hope it wins here.

Next stop, apples marketing team. Make them sell these shirts. To awesome a design to not be printed and sold somewhere!

idk; cardboard enclosure? they were made in plastic envelopes...

Re: 1986: An ASCII Odyessy

We must print this, dave

Re: 1988: Museum of Motion Images

Very impressive and sits well on the t-shirt as well. Awesome bells :o)

Thank you sodalite

Re: 1984

Okay...now why was it rejected this time? This is killing me.

That may be so, but that art is not using halftones as extensively as this piece with finer halftones due to lots of soft fades. These types of halftones are not what you want to print, they cause all types of problems on press with trying to align the base to the top layer of ink. Can you take a picture of the halftones on your shirt so I can see them? The detail shot woot had doesn't show them too well. Thanks

Actually, I used this picture

I does have a certain southern fried aspect to it.

Thanks! I'm glad I wasn't just seeing things!

Well I'm going to go out on a limb and say its because you used a trademarked name and copied a copyrighted logo directly from the movie with no alteration and no parody but that's just me

Okay. If that was it, then it's fine. I'm just not sure.

Re: 1976

Any Canadian needs to up vote this since it has the Toronto Space Needle in it come on now!

Is that what it is called? The Toronto Space Needle?

Re: 1974: It's Alive!

This is fantastic!

That's using Photoshop, I'm assuming right? Any other programs you'd recommend, or is that pretty much the gold standard?

tjost wrote:Ok here's a little example I threw together to illustrate what I mean by inverse halftones. Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you for the explanation. Also, the ramyb tutorial j5 posted was extremely helpful. This will definitely help me with designing halftones in the future, thanks so much!

I had done inverse halftones on one layer for my previous print, Underwater Forest, and it seemed ok.. In general I use the method of converting the layer to bitmap/halftone screen because there is a lot more room for control.

Again, thanks for all the feedback everyone!! And thanks tjost for explaining halftoning for print. I definitely understand it a lot better now.

I love the evolution aspect of this! Good luck!

love it! I hope this wins!

Re: 1986: An ASCII Odyessy

I'm very saddened by this shirt not getting top 3.

maybe I should start voting for every shirt I don't want to buy. Because the last 10 or so shirts I've wanted to buy have all either just missed the fog or been in the fog but not top 3.

When did the Woot Community get jacked by people who like terrible shirts?

This would be a great way to subtly announce an impending paternity.

Maybe, to accomodate spits, the trucks need pitched roofs.

All of this taco truck talk is making me homesick. First place I'm hitting when I go visit "home" in a month or two, is El Antojito, in Gardena.

Re: Knighteen82

looks great; too bad about the color choice

Not rejected!! Keeping my fingers crossed:p

Re: 1982 v2

Like this art very much! Cool Style:0

Re: 1966 Beetle Revolver

Phew!! I believe I'm safe~~ * Gradients & Halftones
o Photoshop users, make certain that your halftones are 30 LPI or larger for a full-size design at 300 DPI.
o Illustrator users, please submit your final art with gradients. We'll create the halftones on our end.
o Each dot that makes up your halftone must be one solid color.

PEACE OUT
