  This shirt design just got rejected from a competition for being "overly offensive"...really? It's not for the Jonas Brothers, it's for a band whose biggest hit is "Sex On Fire"...c'mon.

  Those retard marketing types don't even know the difference between "offensive" and "suggestive." Your design was sexual, your argument correct, and the individuals rejecting it on that basis idiots.

  • BAM! I am growing to admire your gruff adherence to the truth.– Horp1/5

    thank you.– OneNine2/5

    You're welcome.
    
    Oh, wait, ...– Horp3/5

    marking guys... I guess they want to prevent themselves from any probleme with 12yo kid wearing this type of tee shirt.. even if the band has nothing to do with such young public– dyspl4/5

    ... even if the band has clearly nothing to do with such young public.– dyspl5/5

  I think that shirt would be hard (and expensive) to print, the tiny type will probably get all "sticky" and illegible and it looks like there is more than 4 colors. I'm no expert but I do know the gradient on those rays can be achieved somehow, not sure how exactly when its screen printed and aiming to keep it consistent on all the shirts.

  Are you sure it was "rejected" or was it just "not selected" cause there is a difference.

  I don't really get why would that be offensive though, but I only just learned about jonas brothers thanks to southpark, and I'm not sure how does this shirt relate to them..

• juhls

  I would stay away from anyone who wears this.

  That being said, nothing sexual is occurring in the image. It's suggestive. Our brains are filling in that extra information.

  • Well, it's definitely sexual and suggestive, but it's not necessarily offensive.– monospaced1/3

    OK, yeah, it's sexual. But nothing sexual is actually in the image for us to see.– juhls2/3

    even if there was, how is that offensive?– monospaced3/3

  I would have rejected it to, but I would have been honest and just told you the shirt was a shit design.

  Second glance it's not too bad, I still wouldn't wear it though. But, I wouldn't have said "shit design" had I actually looked at the larger image.
