About my design

by raemelle
Kitsch is a German term that can be used to describe art that is showy and/or tasteless, and also mass-produced objects that are regarded as corny, campy and/or even retro.

I do like this, but it needs work...I love the black and maybe make it a bit bigger?

Cute idea. I would prefer it higher and centered. Well done you!

i feel like i'd have to explain this one to everyone but the idea is good! i like it where it is but it seems too boxed...more flow? like a mound of the items? just an idea :) still giving it 4,

I like the placement - retro is not kitschy - i don't own a lava lamp, beaded curtains or anything like that.

I like the design and the idea, not sure about the pink though, maybe if it was just on the flamingo (also think there should only be one flamingo). Not sure about the font for "KITSCH", perhaps if it was a bit bolder, looks a bit skinny.

Kitsch is really popular amongst the trailer parks and retired comunities...

I like the colors on this design. Good show.

The placement introduces visual tension. The mass of clutter to the side evokes the randomness of thrift store displays. The color choice is extremely appropriate given the subject matter - hot pink is, after all, the official color of KITSCH.

I really like it. And I think the placement makes it stand out more. Wicked!

I like it...and for those of you who sensed a but coming, but, It needs to be bigger, fanatastic pink on black, and I dont really thing it needs the expalination...maybe thats just me though

Haha, I got a lava lamp and a garden gnome for Christmas... I think it shall be my new year's resolution to be more kitsch. As for the design, I think it needs more.

I really do like it, but too would prefer it centered. It doesn't really relate to the design for it to be in the corner, I don't think...

great theme.. not finished yet though..

I'm pretty sure most people know what kitsch means. I think your idea is good, but add more! Add more and have it all over the front of the shirt.

what does the text say - "welcome to ... kitsch"

but even so - 5$ - i like this.

^ Fabulous?

I LOVE the design but think it should be wrapped around the side or something... i dunno. Placement is questionable but $5 anyways cause I love it.

I thought "kitsch" was Yiddish? Which is a mixture between German and Hebrew... but maybe I'm wrong.

Cool stuff. Wish I could zoom in on the hula girl and look at it a little closer ... I LOVE hula girls!

I love it. But the placement should either be in the center or the place it is now, just bigger. But the design is gorgeous.

Re: RebeccaWhipple's comment above: agreed, either higher an centered OR small over the breast...but not where it is.

regarding the comment from RebeccaWhipple above, I agree either centered and large OR small and over the left breast...but not where it's currently placed.

I LOVE THIS. IT IS PERFECT THE WAY IT IS!!! I just don't understand the dog and cards or whatever it is.
tinycrocodile

The dog and cards is there because of that famous kitsch painting of dogs playing poker, and it says "Welcome to Kitsch" because it's a little homage to the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, no?



Like it a lot.

I am so glad you were able to get the dogs playing poker painting reference. I was a little worried about that one.

The objects need to overlap so they don't look like stickers on the shirt...but other than that the idea is a very good one
