Re: Coke PWN take 2

In 1985, the Coca Cola company tried to reinvent itself, creatively calling their newer, sweeter product "New Coke." Consumers hated it, and in two months old school Coca Cola Classic ruled the shelves once again...

The bottle shape is totally different than the Coca Cola copyrighted shape...

Oh geez, I'm an one that smells of Elderberries! Any way I can go in and add the date to the title??

Guh? I didn't write that!

Looks great, Andy! Dig the colors and clean linework.

Oh, okay...*giggles*. Thanks for the help!

Re: 1984: Duck Hunt {RESUB}

Cho was born in 1984? I always thought he was older than that.. didn't he say to be a father of 2 or 3 or 4 kids somewhere?

superspryte wrote:No problem. Good luck with the resub!

Thanks! =)

Dang. What did I miss? I only see Black, Creme, Blue, Neon Green, Tan and Gold on a Cardinal shirt.

superspryte wrote:Ummm, not that I know of... And why would his username be jamescho84? ^_~

I never even noticed the 84 next to his name... I usually ignore numbers like that for some reason...

Great...now I feel bad. The man is infinitely more talented than I am AND younger... Darn these youths for showing us old fogies up! :=)

Could it be considered woot-related? It's certainly kenney-related

Indeed. Break dancing was around LONG before 1992.

Hate to burst your bubble, kiddo, but the gentleman is correct.

But, the design is pretty sweet - I'll give you that.

Re: 1973

I really like this now that I've read the description. Nice job relating the two. Not sure I'd wear it though, as I'd have to explain it every time someone looked at it..

JadenKale wrote:um no. It has to be something relating to the year in which you were born, not the actual act of conception.

I think it was a pretty clever take. I mean, it is an event that happened that year...

Talk about a nasty fart!

Turn the Chinese into line art ... I like the way it contrasts the colors. I'm not an Ox but like the shirt.

thanks. i would have done it sooner, but the file was at work and i had to wait till today to make the changes.

Re: 1985 - Welcome the king of Puzzle Games

I just sort of wish it was a regular Tetris board. I like that the shapes are 3d, but its sort of a Tetris city, not really true to the original game. I <3 Tetris though

Re: 1984: Duck Hunt {RESUB}

Here's my theory, Cho wins because he produces a lot of designs within the first day. Typically I see 3 a derby, which means he has lots of ideas.

So basically.

lots of ideas + quick turnaround + good steady design skills = steady wins.

My 9 to 5 gets in the way of implementing this formula for myself but some day...

Re: 1971 - World Record Motorcycle Jump

Great. I'm not sure how the brown works with the red/white/blue though.

superspryte wrote:If you look in the shadows near the hand there is also a brown.

There's not really a brown a in there. The hand and mouse is all black, gold, creme and olive (as opposed to 'tan'). I'll double check everything, but I don't see the brown you mention - an artifact of producing the low res rgb jpg perhaps?

Thanks Narkus and Jenny! Glad you guys like the love bug! It was fun to draw and color!

Re: 1984: purple rain

I wish I could vote for this twice, it makes me giggle every time I see it

jenny78 wrote:So, you are saying he must stick to animals lest he not win the derby? I think Cho wins/places in the derby each week off his name alone. Talent or not, he has fans, loyal fans at that. That being said, I'm not denying he has incredible drawing skills, but I think he could enter anything at this point, and it would still win/place in every derby. It always does. Even if it's a design that isn't very wearable. People will vote/buy just because Cho drew it and Cho seems to have a lot of fans. AGAIN, I am not saying he isn't good at what he does. People are just a lot like sheep and follow the herd, in this case the majority. Sheeple.

Go to shirtderbystat.com and you will see that cho has 16 shirt designs that have placed 4-10 compared to 12 that placed 1-3.

Re: 1969 - Woodstock and the Summer of 69.

Great Bug, kls! As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I thought this was your design. Your wonderful touch with colors really jumps off the page, even in a tiny thumbnail. If this does get printed, I'll definitely be in for at least one. My kids are always playing "Punch Buggy" in the car. I could not NOT get this shirt, if that makes any sense.

This is so much better than the fog right now. Something tells me I'll be saving money during this derby.

I think this falls into the category of a snowflake since it snowed that year, but that's woot's call.

Hey Parker! Thanks for the comments. Better not play 'punch buggy' when you're wearing the shirt!

I loved this derby. Not so much for the designs, but for learning more about the designers and the year they were born. At first, I thought we'd learn a lot about the voters too, but I don't know if the votes are really age-related. I suspect folks are still going to vote on a design that is wearable. So, the woot voting demographic may still be a well-kept secret.

I liked doing the bug entry. I was able to to add my flowers and whimsy, but in a recognizable hippy way. I'm happy with how it turned out.
