More like Obey propaganda inspired design. Which is the aesthetic that it is striving to conform to.

YUP. looks like you bought vector images and threw 'em in there nicely.

That’s where you are wrong. Why do people have to associate propaganda art with just the likes of Obey? I mean propaganda art has been around since the 40s – Obey isn’t the creator of it... I am inspired by real art – Obey doesn’t even respect those ideologies for one this is a homage to SOVIET ART.
It’s called an vector application, by looking at your uploaded designs i’m not sure you even know how to use them, GTFO.

Honestly man, all you did was slap together a bunch of cliche played out clip art in a half assed blatant obey rip attempt with no meaning or concept whatsoever except for the text that means nothing in context to the design. I thought the point of soviet propaganda was supposed to make people conform to ideas. What is so non conforming about your sweet design besides the unbalanced text? Also, most soviet propaganda art is non symmetrical. Most of the propaganda art you see that is would prob be from obey. Which is what you referenced. Also, I wouldn’t be that proud of your "vector application skills". Are you a designer or a "clip art technician"? If you respect the ideaologies of "Real Art" then why did you make a shitty bootleg version of it to make some fast cash?

First of all, you aren’t supposed to use 'an' in front of a word that begins with a consonant. You fucked up there. Secondly, I do use vectors. A lot. I’m not saying it’s a bad design either though. Just not very original. You’re the one who’s getting all defensive when people critique your work. Suck it up, take it like a man, and improve. Jesus...

The theory behind Socialism / Communism is about been equal (having a Classless & Stateless Society making decisions Democratically). It’s nothing of the sort about been controlled, I think you are think you are getting confused with “Capitalism” (Imperialism/Nationalism). Living a socialist life in mainly predominantly run Imperialist world it is very Nonconformist. I have about 10 original Soviet/Korean Propaganda/Art books from the 30/40s which I love and get inspired by. The majority or should I say a fair amount of the art is symmetrical – Not all Obeys work is symmetrical in anycase & again is he the creator of symmetrical Designs? haha... (I will be uploading more of my Designs which are all pretty much all symmetrical and most of them don’t even have any reference to Propaganda artwork so your little theory is very wrong). I designed this tshirt to be printed for myself not to be sold by the millions! I am basically not making any money off these tshirts the printing (4 colour process) and the quality tshirts alone just cover the costs I am making these to order.. The text is incorrect that is true but this isn’t the final version the one I have sent off for printing has Copy/text at the back of the tshirt as well. You need to stop trying to hyper analyse my design & look at all the crap you have uploaded its very generic and not designed very well and I can see allot of blatant ripoff and clip art used on some of the “designs” (the one with the skeleton and Skull crossbones I know exactly where that’s taken from). Your obviously a Obey fan boi with your knickers in a twist. I don’t give a fuck what you say maybe if you had any understanding of this design you might be-able to get what it, please keep your childish remarks to yourself you are boring me now.
Agreed I might have got a-bit carried away there but if this is the reception you receive on the first upload into this community I might as well delete my account. As far as copy/correct grammar goes I don’t give a fuck... “Anti-Conformist” is a term. I don’t mind critique but what you said was uncalled and not very constructive. I can pick apart your designs even more...

Really, not making any money? Maybe because you are printing what could be a 2 color design if you knew anything about seperations and halftones as a 4 color process. As for everything else you said, I don’t really give a shit about this anymore and I’ve already wasted too much time on this shit. Keep up the good work buddy.
