Oh my god I would have totally voted for it with those clouds hehe, expecially if it were on a pink tee . I think you should have left them, totally makes it more unique oh well.

Yes, that's fine By the way, did you ever come up with a design on the theme?

Do you mind if I post your entry here? I really liked the way it was presented even though it wasn't on theme

I've been the the sunburst website before. Do you think they could handle that print?

The more I look at those clouds, the more I must have them

I agree, the clouds are much better.

I would most definitely pay for the all-over print with the clouds!

Ah yes... but numbers CAN be misleading.

Think about it this way. How do you know that there were not 300+ voters who all thought your design was their second favorite??? Since they only get one vote, first place could have votes scattered all over, but their second choices could have been an overwhelming consensus.

Sooooo... if that were the case, and everyone who voted bought their two favorite shirts... first place would sell 60+ shirts and yours could sell 300+. Think about it... LOL!

First thing is dont be so hard on yourself, you actually got it together enough to enter a design and many, many of us didnt.

When I did my look at all the designs it was very quick as I just didnt want to ponder over every detail. I was looking for a non literal interpretation of the theme. The shirt had to say it all on impact. I dont think I even looked at titles as it seems these designs had names and I couldnt tell you one of them.

I started a design myself with uplifting hands holding a globe and dropped the idea. I had a feeling there were going to be a bunch of globes floating around.

Your design has great color impact on black no doubt about it. I really didnt know what the shape was until looking at it now in detail. I assume a bottle effervescing the spirit of coummunity and I still may be way off.

I think it got a bit busy and all the litle words, a bit literal for my strange taste.

Maybe the design could be stronger with one word or phrase unvailed slightly within the content spilling out into the atmosphere. Maybe the word ONE would be enough. Its all up to interpretation.

I think the idea is good and I bet with revisions you could make it great.

Just observations and I could be way off the mark but like a great lyric, it means something different to most individuals.

Keep your head up and good job.

Great work! I would have leaned more towards the bees image, but the faerie one has good execution. I never thought about the community of bees. Very good thinking.

I really like the bees. Too bad you didn't enter that one.
