About my design

by Montro   
This is my concept for the Loves Zip up hoodies competition. I wanted to stay away from the image-splitting solution so the inspiration for this design was the actual function of the hoodie itself as a temperature regulator while adding the zip up feature as a "gauge" of sorts. Like a manual mercury bar.

The idea is to mimic a thermometer, zipping up or down to whatever degree of temperature to create a silly but amusing interaction between the garment and the owner.

The tee version could have the actual mercury bar going up to 98.6 degrees fahrenheit/ 37 celsius, to suggest normal human temperature.

I've submitted 2 versions, a simple 1 color example for those who prefer simpler designs and a colored version with some simple (yet exaggerated) graphic icons to give the design some life.

Zip up a notch if it's too cold, zip one down if it's too hawt!

Because most people understand it's just an idea based on the interpretation of a thermometer, not a literal one.

wheeopo on Jul 01 '10
@traladeedah: I think it is upside down so that the hotter it is, the more you would unzip it. It would be uncomfortable if you zipped it up to show that it was warm.

Anyway, I love this hoodie. It is my favorite out of all of the ones that I have seen. I would buy the hoodie, or the shirt. But, I think the thermometer would look better going from hot to cold on the tee. Any way that this would print, it would be cool.

Brilliant, one flaw that I see is that as a Canadian our thermometres must go down to at least -50°C, that could have been indicated around the hood of the sweater, as in if the hood is over the head and pulled closed over the face it's waaaaaaaaaay to f'n cold to be wearing just a hoody ☻ (of course I'm kidding this design has no flaws other than the classic version)

this design confuses me
it seems you have it backwards--the numbers are descending as the zip goes up

hmm
also is it UV?
or just two versions?
