Aaahhh what the hell... Since I'm stuck in the house due to the flu shot kicking my ..... One more for the PG/VG because my favorite AC/DC track is "Back in Black".

​

And winner of our second Tshirt design is Staevian's PG/VG back in black! Thanks for the artwork on this one! On the back, our phrase will read: "DIY Done Dirt Cheap", so we can get both references in there

Keep the designs coming guys! Each entry from day 1 will be considered throughout the contest, so don't feel left out if your design wasn't selected. Keep them coming and then next design will be chosen at 11:59PM on Monday, 10/14.

I had no idea ECF was this creative!!! Shows you how widespread our community really is

Lab coat, gloves, goggles, and nothing else



O I like this idea

Question for everyone though. I want to make sure these phrases we've come up with aren't bordering the lines of 'sexist' in your minds. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE chime in if you think we can edit one of the phrases posted to be more appropriate if need be. Remember, we like provocative here, but do not want to offend anyone!

I'm not the best judge, as I enjoy things on the more provocative side, but so far I haven't seen anything that's made me !

And congrats Staevian!

This isn't my original work but thought it could work.
Maybe on the back have a similar design, but put something like "extend your fragile existence, quit smoking... Nude Nicotine"

I'm liking the chemistry references (of course), but let's keep it vaping related! I'm going to try and come up with some more funny chemistry-joke or vaping-joke related shirts today.

To stimulate your frontal cortex's (;P) here are a few chemistries involved in the production of eliquid that we don't like:

-anatabine
-anabasine
-B-nicotyrine
-Nornicotine
-Diacetyl

And here's a few that we like:

-L-NICOTINE!!!
-2,3-pentanedione
-3-hydroxybutanone
-1,2,3-propanetriol
-1,2-propanediol

only put in what you want
turning chemistry into clouds

I like the phrase "turning chemistry into clouds." Awesome idea!

Any thoughts on some artwork to accompany it?

 

[element77]

well i'm not all that tech savy, but here goes an attempt at what I thought of, Most of my ideas are lost in translation

http://johnkarlclaesfineart.blogspot.com/2009/01/drawing-again.html
these are NOT my images just googled cloud drawing images.

here's an image I thought i liked the style of clouds, I also thought of something along the lines of your chemical bonds or periodic table or something as the the plow field or entire landscape in the image, but all matching that hand draw grainy texture suggesting something elusive and interpretive,an experience, as opposed to bold definite lines or images that suggest love it or hate it thinking or polarizing reactions.

Chemical symbols=landscape, clouds=sky. that's all I got.

So I let a graphic designer we used to employ start coming up with ideas around this phrase. He is drawing a few great sketches for a design embodying the phrases:

Front: "Knowledge is Power"
Back: "Turning Chemistry into Clouds"

I love your idea with this phrase, and while we weren't able to come up with a suitable graphic to morph a 'chemistry' into a cloud, we did come up with a great graphic of a brain with an elongated brain stem, wrapped with a kanthal wire coil, 'turning into clouds'.'Element77', thanks for your contributions! We have a winner!

Our final t shirt selection will happen between now, and Sunday night, 10/20, at 11:59PM. Any last ideas ECF has to offer? Again, I had no idea how amazingly creative everyone is here

While I like the artwork on this, it's kind of hard to read with that black shadow/streak running through the center of it... Maybe it could be cleaned up a little??

Here is a rough idea of what it could look like... if you want to break away from the rest of your design on the back...

(btw, you never answered the PM I sent with the links to the clip-art I used...)

great ideas!

Just for Fun...

That's the plan! Already spoke with him of brightening up the outside borders like you did. And I like the back! Do you think it would still work downsized so we can fit the Nude Nicotine logo and info on the center of the back of the shirt?

Just for Fun...

AWESOME! Is the cloud writing a font you found somewhere?

That's up to you and your designers. I just did a quick layout to show an example, and made it large enough to read...

AWESOME! Is the cloud writing a font you found somewhere?

It's actually called "Alpha Smoke" and I got it from my fave font site, California Fonts:
Great selection of free fonts

But they also have 'Alpha Clouds', too:

And the AC/DC one is called "Squealer"... LOL!!
