That's why evolve out of the lab and into IT.

Thank you! I'm not sure about the baby blue shirt...

Just an awkward nerdy science kid. Those hats were really popular back in the day. You can still get them. In fact, I'm getting one for my son's birthday.

It's a much loathed color for some reason. Maybe try a different version with a whole new color scheme?

You're going to start a voting war against yourself! heh... cool idea...

Re: TESLA ROCKS!

Okay... so... This halloween at Scareoke... I am totally dressing as Tesla and singing Life on Mars... You have inspired me sir!

Re: Be a scientist!

Such a solid design... Plus... The scientist is channeling Gordon Freeman so... Instawin!

Re: Welcoming Party

I think it's funny!

Re: Join the evolution

I fully expect someone to play the racism card on this entry.

Tesla and Edison had a very notorious feud. Tesla was the developer of alternating current (AC) as the means of transferring electricity, whereas Edison proposed using the much lamer direct current (DC). Tesla also was Edison's assistant for awhile, and essentially was treated like dirt even though he was much smarter than Edison and actually IMPROVED much of Edison's work.

So Edison decided to run a smear campaign against Tesla and AC, even going so far as to electrocute an elephant to prove that AC was dangerous. Electrocute. To death!

Edison was a royal jerk, and would do things like send hired goons to rough people up and buy out patents and then take all the credit.

There's even the story of how his rival in the creation of the motion picture, Louis LePrince, magically disappeared from a train after traveling to the US from France to show off his new camera. Unsurprisingly, LePrince's disappearance allowed Edison to push his technology without competition and become known as the "Father of Cinematography."

So the long and short of it is that Tesla was an undervalued mad genius who is not well remembered outside of the scientific community, whereas Edison is a talentless hack whose worth is overinflated.

I'll be OK, some eye drops should clear this right up.

Re: Brave New World

Nice work Sir, I really like this. I love your text, and the retro style of the ships and everything else. Plus the shape or perspective or whatever of the whole thing.

I'd wear this, totally cool. ;)

Thanks! Wasn't sure if people would get it, but I figured it was worth a try.

Re: United for Science

What if Tesla and Edison were to kiss and make up for election day? Got my vote! United for science!

Re: Human Testing

I always love your ladies Kasey, nobody does it better.

Re: Rad M;C.

No clue what Rad M.C is but that guy is killer awesome. I think the version on creme looks alot clearer but it might be doomed because of the creme.

Either way, this rocks.

QQ.... aren't these submissions supposed to resemble the WWII propaganda posters ?

Re: It is Rocket Science!

I've been an aerospace geek forever! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Re: Build-a-Spouse

Science... The ultimate answer to the eternal question... Why did I marry this person...?

Replace them with a loving robot configured perfectly for you...

AND CHECK OUT THOSE ROUNDED CORNERS!!!!

That's what I was thinking too... What about the cream color?

Thanks so much! This has been my favorite derby I've been in!

I love the original poster. Great parody!

Re: The Gray Menace

Really well done and clever!

Re: Human Testing

Kasey's back! This is fantastic!

Re: Scientific Revolution

Re-working this now. Anyone have any idea how to do the faded tee effect?

Re: Become a scientist

Clever!!!

Google "distressing in [name of program you use]"

There are a lot of decent tutorials out there.

I think it's supposed to play on radiation/Marie Curie, but I could be wrong.

Thank you! Glad you like it! I made this as an excuse to play with some distressing. I read how to do it and wanted to try it out. I have not had a chance to play with it much.

Ack! Kano Cat!

Very cool design ace. I like the meshing of themes.

Re: United for Science

This would totally get my vote if it had a year more relevant to the men behind it, but the concept is awesome, nice work!

Re: Conquer (American Version)

While it drives me nuts when people use Cyrillic letters as a font, I like space-related things and navy blue, so I am going to pretend it doesn't say "soi?eja" and vote for it.
