mayanorange, I like your design.
Good grief, we have to choose?
In short-listing designs, I probably would not choose a design that had similarities with an existing jersey design.
Sorry, this is design competition and hence, focus must be truly original in composition, colour in relation to fit /general shape of the jersey itself. It would help that that design did make a cyclist visible to some extent from a few blocks away at least.
Meaning..I wouldn't wear a black jersey.. :rolleyes:
mayanorage, that's really clever how you incorporated the TE logos into the bike !
Thanks, I like playing with things like that- turning them into something else. I'm working on one where the girl on bike is more prominent. I could do one with a plain TE logo bike too, but I thought it needed a rider.
Most of my ride are before work (in the dark) so .... LOL. Safety is a concern for me.Quote:

There are some amazing submissions. I think I like them all!
Is this jersey only intended for roadies or to make political statements? I hope this jersey doesn't become a political billboard. I'd like to see something that just makes you smile. Several of these designs fit the ticket.Quote:
How about "One less car" instead ...? Might have a positive effect on drivers' consideration.
If I have to, I advocate for cyclists, not against cars.
I really like the concept of that jersey--where we've been and where we're going. Very nice. Very original.Quote:

Oh, and, mayanorange--I keep logging in looking for Version 2. I can't imagine you'll top version 1, but I keep looking...
one less car has been taken.

There is one design I really like (not mine :p) but there are parts of it I don't like.
I would like to see elements of some designs incorporated with others.
Thorn - That would be a good idea too, splitting the yesterday/today idea into two different images and potentially two styles.
I'm working on the back panel... it's not drawing out like I thought that it might. We'll see how it goes.
I wish that I was able to work it out in illustrator, making changes and adjustments would be easier in that program instead of photoshop.
mayanorange: +1 I like the stylized bike! Very cool.
Thorn- It'll probably be tomorrow by the time I get to it. Should be faster since it's a modification sort of, but I still take forever trying to get these things right.
I'm still not 100% happy with Version 1, but it gets the general idea across. I was hoping for long and winding road starting in green rolling hills or similar, then ending up at a city at sunset, but I couldn't get it look quite right in photoshop. Though now I really like the bike design, so I'm going to focus on that for the next iteration.
I'm totally open to suggestions if anyone has any!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DAISY JERSEY!! WOOT WOOT!!Quote:

Logo similarities.
At first I didn't realize about the "she loves hills, she loves them not..." then I howled out loud:D. That's funny. Just to be a crybaby, how-about some Sugoi vs LG... LG doesn't fit girls with bewbage so well IME:rolleyes: (my humble 2cents, or $, for brand picks).Quote:

Wild and free... simple, yet pretty. AND bonus prize... the "Susan" part would be after TE's own dear Susan Otcenas (just not the black eye part, ride safe). How's that for working a design? lol.
This is a general suggestion: Could you add lots of reflective bits to any jerseys you produce? That's my single biggest source of dissatisfaction with bike clothes -- like manufacturers don't think people might ride after sunset or something, or as if a little decorative reflective piping will actually grab drivers' attention.
Good idea!Quote:

Well, similarities, but also differences. 1) The Tour de California wheels seem to be rolling in opposite directions :eek:, and 2) Mayanorange's wheels are the TE logo, which is already TE's and not TdC's. So should be no problem.Quote:

I'm digging Urlea's daisy design and what she did with Mimi's painting. I'd buy both of those in a heartbeat. I also like the "She rides" line a lot.
Is it possible to make more than one design? Maybe the top three?
By the way, I was just talking with D*H about this board. I told him that I really like being here because everyone is so positive and supportive, so unlike so many other online communities out there. When I read the TE forum, I leave it feeling encouraged and anxious to get back on my bike, even though I'm far from what anyone would consider athletic. You all make me feel like I can achieve my health goals, namely losing weight and getting fit enough to enjoy the second half of my life.
Thank you all.
Roxy

Hi Chanlluv :) TE got me back on a bike and back in shape. Well, TE and my sister, who got me on TE. You'll do fine too. You're in good company here. And by second half, do you mean in the "Congratulations on your first 60" sense? If so, you're not alone on the board in that age group either. F'rinstance, I'll hit 60 this summer.
Now back on topic. Those Queen Anne's Lace sketches look promising! The designer was worried that "Road Sister" would exclude trail and track sisters amongst us. How about "disguising" that in code by making the "sister" a butterfly instead. There are a whole bunch of butterfly species named [____] Sister (such as California Sister, or the Arizona Sister pictured below). One of them could be perched on a stem somewhere.
Woohoo!! More submissions. It's a good thing I'm self-employed or my boss might get annoyed by how often I check for updates. :) (Don't tell anyone, but I think she does a little bit anyway.)
Great new additions! It is going to be so difficult to choose!
Lime Clean design with good logo placement.
Jillm- I really like the bird jerseys & color choices.
As to the suggestions for my "She loves hills" Jersey, thank you! I reallyappreciate the input.
I pulled old image files of photographs I had taken of black-eyed susan's & sunflowers last night to see if I could design something similar with the bright yellows in there and conceptually it just didn't work for me. The text lost it's prominence amongst all the color and it looked cluttered.
As it is right now, the background green could always get brighter. Same for the blue version. I just tried to pick a happy medium for what most computer monitors are calibrated to color-wise.
Roxy- I feel the same way about this forum. There is definitely "community" and a lot of wonderful encouraging ladies. :D
It still makes me laugh that my husband pointed me to this site in the first place after ordering my tri-suit from it as a b-day gift. I'm so glad he did!
Lime- very cool ideas! I really like those.
Kiwi Stoker- I really like the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Cycle design- it's really inventive.
yes, this is amazing - another definite buy if it was made into a jersey - love the colours on it too - this is a defintie favourite!!Quote:

Limewave: I really like the Where Girl meets the Road... I'm typically jealous of men's jersies. So many of them are graphical and I like that style. I wanted to do something graphically with mine, like a poster, for instance. Yours is along the style that I've been lusting for in a jersey too.
Jillm: Your use of reflective elements is great. I bike to work sometimes in the mornings over the summer. I would totally buy something like that for those commutes. It would beat the fancy reflective vest that I've purchased. The birds are my favorite. But the tree on your last submission is really cool too, especially if the flowers are reflective.
Oh man, so many cool ideas.
I just took my first look at the jerseys and I love them all! Whatever the design, count me in for a couple.
I'm so impressed with all of these! You guys are amazing.
Jes
Yes! Absolutely! And we also have talented graphic designers on board.
I've got a TE gift certificate that I'm holding onto to buy one of these cool jerseys. :)
limewave - I love the red one!

I'd love to see the "she loves hills" daisy married with zen's orange and turquoise idea.
One of my favorites is Urlea's orange, black and white design with the wheels and swirls. Orange is a great color, and the design is feminine but not overly girly. It's crisp, simple and good lookin.
And Limewave's red jersey is great too!
Too many good designs!
Yeah, I'll be 45 in September. I'm thrilled to pieces to be here. I really am. I'm learning so much in reading these boards, and not just about bikes or cycling. You women are awesome.Quote:
