Words by the designer:

Individuality makes us unique, why throw that away and be just another statistic, another voice in the noise. People who live by imitating others or trying to be someone they’re not, are no better than barcodes. Singular identity, differenciated by a few factors. Nothing but a statistic.

the warped barcode would be cooler if it warped properly like on a face (like clingwroap on a torture victim?? lol.

a lot of my friends like this one, personally i find it a bit unclear.

totally agree about the text around the face. if it didn’t have that, this design would ROCK.

mikdog – watch this space (well, not this space, but springleap – you know what i mean). Critique forum on it’s way…

Dude. Nice concept. Text sucks. I think springleap should have a CRITIQUE forum like threadless.com does where you can post your work for evaluation BEFORE submitting so that mistakes like this don’t happen. By then its too late. I also think you should lose the text in the barcode. The face is great, with just an unwarped barcode is superb. (Face colour’s a bit weird too. Kind of orangey). But I like the shape, the hair’s awesome. Looks like he’s just got outta bed.

I think the concept works cool the way it is but the wording around the face is totally extraneous.

T-shirt design needs to be immediately impactful whilst the memory lasts and may elicit introspection later as well.

BUT THE MAIN ELEMENT THAT SELLS T-SHIRTS IS THE INITIAL IMPACT

so anything extra that dilutes the impact is contradictory to this goal.

just the get a life. is perfect for this t-shirt design.

Would be a great concept for a voter registration drive. Nicely done yash. Comments about the text are all valid. Keep it up.

the concept is brilliant! I think it would have looked cool
in just black and white.

Yeah, movement of the text would really work, as it is, i love the subject very much (”,)

Agreed, lose the text and maybe move the design to the bottom so it ends low…it looks a bit arb when its cut off like that.

love the concept.

I would lose the text tho. or make it really small.
And complete the bottom of the picture so it doesnt look cut off.
