i mean that is particularly shit, can't imagine what it looks actually ON a t-shirt.
I think the worse thing about this is the lack of imagination. Like all this diagrams are already outhere. All you did was lift them off a text book and stuck em on a t-shirt, like its oooo all clever.
Nice try tho, at least it keeps you off the streets.

I disagree. Show me what you think it should look like.

not like that dude. NOT LIKE THAT.

Show me.

I find the designs kind of pleasing.

I dig the pattern. I haven't checked out the site yet but designs based on mathematic ratios sound like my cup of tea. See how the time tested rules of proportional beauty through math can be made valid today. ;)
Keep up the good work.

Btw,
Don't let the people on this board discourage you. I'm sure half of them have something with a rainbow, paint drip, or deer in their portfolio.
ohhhhhhh burrrrrrrrrrnnnn!! :P

the art is really basic, but the fact you actually invested in and created screenprints, I give you many props. if you changed the colors of the screen print, more tone on tone, you would't have to put on two layers of plastisol on there. it looks thick and the prints look too large themselves... anyway, roll with all these comments and change, soon you will be making better tees, you just have to continue to evolve and listen to what people are saying... you'll start selling. and lastly, always remember, I believe in you.
- Yeah the print is a little large. maybe it should be at 1:1.618 of the width? :-)tommyo

theres something wrong with your pattern. its a bit forced and disorganized.

aperiodic tiling. Look it up on wikipedia. These designs aren't necessarily my style, but the concept behind the brand holds it together. The ratio of diamonds to rhombuses in the pattern is 1.618. It may look disorganized, thats like saying an octagon is a poor attempt at a circle. It's just how the tiling works.

actually i did look it up before i replied earlier and saw the difference. most of the examples ive seen have a defined structure and order to them. its a lot easier to explain with a diagram so i traced over the shirt design.
okay class...^^ if you look at figure A. i traced over the right side with a blue stroke then rotated it and gave it a white stroke. thinking maybe yin yang for balance. nope, thats not how you guys did it. what you did was you flipped one side onto the other BUT you didnt flip the top and bottom boxes (figure B). normally, you would start at the center for tracing something like this but with no visible emerging pattern, i started from the outside going in.
next onto figure C. i coloured in the 36degree angled boxes to see what pattern you guys came up with. looks a bit off center? yep, i see 4 stars that might work as the center of the image but they werent used.
this is where it gets really rough. at figure D, ive roughly traced the only 5 decagons inside the graphic. here you can really see how disorganized it is. as far as i can tell, there are only 5 of them. if i missed one or two, its still not enough to balance the whole thing.
figure E is just perceptual. i traced the surfaces that drew my eye. these are the surfaces i felt were sticking out. purely subjective but still a valid opinion.
as conclusion, its still a valid penrose tile pattern even if its content has little symmetry to it, the outer shape is still visible but like i said earlier, it looks forced and disorganized compared to other existing patterns. i would prefer a balanced pattern since you are banking on phi or the golden ratio of proportions.

Brilliant post October. I may pm you to ask for some advice. Thanks a lot man, I just want to make this as good as possible.

"All the designs are based on the golden ratio"
Are they?

technically it still is, it was just cropped wrong. the problem with having a concept like this is everything has to be perfect or else some geek will point it out and theyll get shit about it.
