Would you be interested in AW stuff? - Page 12 - Acura Forum

MC Teg · 09-20-08, 08:24 PM

Whoa! I really like the fire one Chuck, has a nice flow to it. Would like to have that design on a sweatshirt, sweatshirts seem to last longer for me.

ding - ding - ding.

Early returns are Positive!

Great work, Chuck!

Thanks, guys. We (that would mean, me) can make tweaks. Though it would be nice to have 20 guys out there with the same t-shirt, truth is it's not like there will be some sort "meet" where a show of similar t-shirts will indicate the awesomeness (is that a word?) of AW. More likely the shirts will be seen here and there and any variation will not be an impact (so to speak).

A monochrome look...remember this image would have these boundaries (edges) on a black T.

Now you are cooking!

*duckdog* · 09-20-08, 10:54 PM

That last one is bomb!!

Damn you do good work, Chuck!

Slynky · 09-20-08, 11:57 PM

Variation in green (which could be any color):

(and bear in mind this would make a "box" on a T)

*duckdog* · 09-20-08, 11:59 PM

You have done some nice work, Chuck. Very, very nice work.

Congratulations and on behalf of all of AW, thank you.

Slynky · 09-21-08, 12:13 AM

Well, it's off to bed for me. I've had mixed feelings about "designing". Hate it when customers come to me at work and give me glib descriptions of what they want. Which, as I call it, requires me to read their mind.

But, I seem to do OK. Highest rating of all the people in the region (three of us) for two years, Special award money (and, according to Michelle, I got another $500 award that no one told me about...because I decline to walk on stage and get the hand-shakes).

I have a national "advertising" campaign to make on "seeds of change" to be distributed along with training material next month. A review of our national OIT website, the production of the OIT quarterly newsletter (with ALL the techno bells and whistles...sound, video, links, auto-captions, etc.)

It always frightens me.

Guys, I love trying graphic design but the truth be told...I'm a fucking putz. Everytime I'm given a pat on the back, and it's even suggested the graphics for a particular design MUST have been from a professional graphics contract, I feel good but then, I realize...they only consider it good because they've not had a chance to see "real" stuff.

Besides, I'm too radical for the government...

Anyway, though I keep posting here and try to help, I feel at a loss. So, thanks for the comments. I'll work on more later. I'ts getting late.

You're quite kind. Thank you.

I'll try some more tomorrow.

In Corporate America, this game is called "Bring Me A Rock" and it's played like this:

Worker: "You Called"
Boss: "Bring Me A Rock!"

Worker: "What size"
Boss: "Bring Me A Rock"

Worker: "What shape"
Boss: "You heard me: Bring Me A Rock!"

Later

Worker, with rock in hand: "How's this"
Boss: "That's not what I asked for: Bring Me A Rock!"

Next Day
Worker,pushing a wheelbarrow full of various rocks, all shapes and sizes: "Is it in here?"
Boss, empirically speaking, without ever really looking: "Why Am I Paying You: I make a simple request and this is what you deliver! BRING ME A ROCK!!!"

And so it goes!

Which is why I'm glad I work in training: Clearly written goals and objectives which I and my team are measured against.

Anyway - I stray - I second Dave by 200%. Thank You (and Kevin) for stepping up and sharing your creative sides with the family!

That sums it up pretty well...

In fact, I used to have a cartoon posted in my cubicle similar to that.

Boss: Here, this image needs Photoshopping.
Graphics guy: What do you want done to it?
Boss: I don't know, just Photoshop it !

Slynky · 09-21-08, 09:39 AM

Here is a more car-oriented design. Of course, it's "personalized" for an RSX but it could be done for any dash lights if anyone was interested.

Just something that hit me in the middle of the night so...
