Jahgee Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Holy shnikes, try stitching that to a World Baseball Classic uniform. It looks like you put some good effort into it, and if you got the good grade then kudos to you and great job. Having said that, I'll echo everyone here and say that really, from a design standpoint, it's rather odd. I get the whole bubbles thing, but it looks more like a shirt from the George Harrison collection. What if you were to make the colors solid (no gradients), still have your bubbles/circles, but make like a Venn Diagram pattern, having each circle represent something coming together? It still gets the sane idea across, but would have much more meaning.Also, I don't mean to echo the Grandpa-conspiracy-theorist-overthinker that we all have (I'm mostly talking about mine ), but if you're an underwater utopia...what's the point of having a flag? I know it's just an English assignment and all, but to me at least, that makes just about as much sense as "60% of the time, it works everytime".I don't know, I just don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlash Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have an english project where I have to design a flagDeclining American youth literacy levels. I finds out why.But just to be super cereal for a minute. Vexillology (the study of flags) relies very heavily upon semiotics, symbology, the study of heraldry and historical visual meaning and metaphors.Now I'm not your teacher and I didn't set you this assignment, but I would expect (especially within the context of an English assignment) that he/she would expect you to be able to verbally justify the design choices you have made.In essence, flags heave meaning, so what does yours mean.This might be of use. I think someone on the board posted these recently. They are Japanese Municipality flags. All very modern and with quite well explained symbols within them. To me they all seem quite sci-fi and utopian in feel.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_municipal_flagsWell it was a group project and I also had to write a national anthemI think everyone would agree with me, that it's now necessary you post the national anthem. We really couldn't a get complete understanding of your vision without it. Please post, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
