WIP: I need some opinions on this cc project

[strangetomato]

I have an idea for a new cc project. It's pretty quick and easy, using the icons again, but I need some opinions. The focus group has ~virtual~ coffee. All participants get a free massage (and maybe more) from Ripp.








It's just a simple thing, using this edited mesh (from Maxis Dreams, I think... I have to figure that out), combining the white shirt with the plain jeans, and adding a little aspiration logo to the chest, and colouring the sneaks to match. I'd do all the aspirations.

So what do you think?




My only concern is how blurry and pixelly the logo is when it's close up, but that was an issue with my woohoo icons as well. It's just the quality of the icons themselves. Does this bother you? Should I make the logo bigger? They're usually about that size, so I wouldn't want to go too much bigger.

Is this worth doing? Please inform.

Thanks in advance! ^_^

I love it, lol. Aspiration icon clothing FTW!

That'a a great idea:)

The blurriness makes it looks more like stitching, I think. Which is what those shirts usually are...

Love it!!

[tanathir.livejournal.com]

I think it's a really cool idea. Go ahead and leave the icon the size it is, it almost looks like it's stitched on the way a lot of those logo shirts are anyway.

I think the logos are fine. Most of the Maxian items tend to blur really close up, anyway. So it'll match!

Sooooo...about that free Ripp massage. Giggity.

I really like it, it's a brillliant concept.
Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve! (Or in this case, chest!)

Go for it, I'd love to see the girls' versions too! :D

What a cute idea!

[momijichan8893.livejournal.com]

You should definitely do the whole project, just because it looks so awesome on Johnny. Plus the matching sneakers are sweet :D

[kin-thalas.livejournal.com]

I love the idea.
Maybe the blur effect of the icon shouldn't be so strong, but that's just my two cent :)

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I love it, ST. It looks great.

I do have a suggestion though, maybe you can move the logo so that it's between the lines, instead of it getting cut off by them? I love the idea though.

Awww, he's so handsome. And he looks particularly green today, I do not know why, but it's endearing. *beams*

The blurry effect isn't too noticeable and I agree that it kind of gives it a stitched sort of feel. But I think I'm with Josh about moving it up or down - it looks sort of weird with the line through it?

[petchy-14.livejournal.com]

I would make it a smidge larger, and like Josh said, Move it in between the lines, But I think its a great project! LOL


good one! :D

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

This is a fantastic idea, I'd definitely download it.

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

FAP~

ps I like it

[will-o-whisper.livejournal.com]

The blurriness isn't really that noticeable; I don't think it would be a deal-breaker for most people. It does look a little odd on the line, and I agree with the everyone above suggesting to move it up or down.

Love the idea! :D The little aspiration logo is darling. Sim boys need more non-scenester clothes! D:

I like the idea of aspiration icon clothing. I wonder if it would look better if it had the 'embroidered' look to it though. That way, it doesn't matter if it's fuzzy or not, it looks less like a graphic shopped on, and more like part of the clothing. Maybe changing the texture of the icon would help.

Good luck, it's definitely a cool idea.

[simfinite.livejournal.com]

I love this idea! Personally, I'd make the icon a little less bright, and a tiny bit smaller. If you want, I could recreate the icons. I've got Adobe Illustrator, so I could make them in vector format, and they'd be scalable to any size you want. It'd be good practice for me. :D

Could you try sharpening up the layer with the aspiration logos seperately? One thing I do for lettering on icons and whatnot is to make a layer with just the letters, clone it a bunch, change some of the colors to something darker on about half of those layers, blur them, and then merge them all - with the bright, non-blurred layering on top. It kind of gives it at all a dropshadow kind of effect.

Then you stick that on the shirt texture, and voila!

[lizziero.livejournal.com]

Have you considered changing the style of the layer for the icon?
Like putting a shadow or whatever?
I don't know about the blurriness, but it would look more like it was on the shirt.

I like it, though. ♥

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

It looks excellent! I'd download it for sure. Hrm. Another idea re: the logo, maybe put it on a shield/lozenge/round backdrop instead of having it straight on the shirt? Or maybe line it out in some other colour? As I recall the Lacoste alligator's outlined in white on dark backgrounds, so maybe a black or midnight blue colour for this. It should help negate the blur and also make it 'pop' a bit more.

why hello Johnny ;) ahah xD lol. it looks great :D

[angelique5666.livejournal.com]

With my bad eyesight, I have to get all squinty on it to even see blurriness. I think it looks wonderful.

[selenecorvino.livejournal.com]

I like them, and they don't seem overly blurry and they're a good size.

Besides, who can even see those little characters (ie, alligator, etc) on shirts unless you know what your looking at.
