Need feedback on design direction... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***dorkidori_s13*** · 03-18-2010, 03:46 AM

so...ive been thinking about where to take dorkidori in the near future...and i may have the opportunity to take advantage of some new printing methods (depending on my retailers right now)

i came up with this idea and i wanted some feedback on it...

i get the feeling some of you will love it and others will absolutely hate it...i would personally love to be able to start printing stuff to this level of realism for you guys...the pricing on the shirts would increase a bit...but NO ONE has done this sort of thing with car apparel yet...and i would love to do this with my favorite car ever...kouki 180sx

ne who yeah...MATURE COMMENTS PLEASE!!!

isixphill · 03-18-2010, 04:17 AM

I've bought two or three shirts from you and had you design a logo for me and this would take the cake. I think the shirt looks dope, you do this with a S14 Kouki and its over.

garagelu · 03-18-2010, 07:01 AM

I'm sorry but that shirt is ugly. Just not my style though so don't be offended.

TheRonTom31 · 03-18-2010, 07:20 AM

Really cool shirt but, I do not have the muscles to wear an "affliction style" shirt

mechavore884 · 03-18-2010, 09:08 AM

Id cop it.....

boyou2 · 03-18-2010, 09:14 AM

this shirt is just killing me

Slidin240Wayz · 03-18-2010, 09:39 AM

That shit looks weird with the design all up on the shoulders.

SCREAMS affliction

lewisfk · 03-18-2010, 09:46 AM

hell ill take one!

veeates36 · 03-18-2010, 09:47 AM

Great lookin' shirt I do however see the whole "Affliction" thing goin' on too but I think its still a style that has yet to done. Great job man

PS- Oh yea.. Where's the coupe love my friend..? Lol

90240sr · 03-18-2010, 10:16 AM

I think its too busy. I like the idea of realism. If it was just one car on the side of the shirt under the arm i would dig it.

DataXUnknown · 03-18-2010, 10:29 AM

It's a bit too symetrical for a car shirt. I mean I agree with some, it has a sort of affliction flavor to it, but maybe less symetrical would be better. I do like the idea of how the image is so big though and how it's on the arms and such.

reyes23 · 03-18-2010, 11:24 AM

clean clean, alil too much (pop look at me) for me thou. nice sure ittll sell 4sure

WISH ONE · 03-18-2010, 11:31 AM

\Any s13 love, or different vehicles?

I agree. If i was rocking guns and such, i would rock this shirt.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 03-18-2010, 11:49 AM

well remember guys...one thing regarding the affliction stuff and how this looks like it...this would be specifically for YOU...not the guidos...not the muscle bound mexican guys...not the swole up meat heads at the gym...they wouldnt have access to it...only you guys would...so just because it resembles that art style a bit doesnt mean the affliction people would be purchasing these shirts

Ben G · 03-18-2010, 11:52 AM

Four color process printing has been used on this kind of apparel before you can find it in places like walmart... you are just making it look better.

spngr311 · 03-18-2010, 12:02 PM

I like it. Make an S14 Kouki and S13 coupe. One thing I worry about is the amount of printing on there. Just don't want it to be too thick and heavy otherwise it gets a wierd feel when wearing it.

actually this is simulated process...4 color would be complete overkill for this job...its 2-3 colors at most

i wouldnt have this printed with plastisol (what i normally print with)...it would be a waterbase and discharge job (white being discharge and blue being water based)...it would feel like cloth when you got it...i have both water based and discharge at the shop...but we havent really learned how to use them yet...theyre fairly difficult to print with in small runs and in the heat/dryness of vegas...water based inks require that you use a solution with them to keep them alive...otherwise they will dry out in the screens and clog the mesh in the screen itself

S14DRFTX · 03-18-2010, 12:06 PM

I am able to print shirts like this, and have been doing it with 240's since 2003 . But its a small part of my business. I would never want to step on your toes since basically its all your business. Pm and we can talk ... So i keep my stuff local.Because it really is only fair and i a big guy with karma.. you got here first...

Ps. your stuff is amazing

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-18-2010, 12:18 PM

The design is cool, but it would be hard to see what it is due to most of it being right near the sleeves and arm pits.

Moon Ill · 03-18-2010, 12:20 PM

is there anything on the back?
