But still, maybe I just don't get it. I love periods?

Maybe if someone would explain it to me I would buy it...

Artist is saying to love, period. always be loving.

sncitysaid 101 weeks ago

I thought it meant like I love. Like normally every other shirt says I love blah blah blah but this just says I love like you love everything it's not limited to just one thing. Good shirt requires a couple seconds of thought though other wise you'll probably misinterpret it.

I get it. I think it might play better had the design been simply:

"I heart " without the period/full stop. The meaning is still the same, plus it adds a funny wtf interpretation like the subject had been accidentally left off.

Oh, I'd also like to add that this is too simple of a design....it isn't really something that you wouldn't see anywhere else. What I like most about Teefury shirts are their originality.

I can walk around the streets and know it's not something that is common and that everyone is wearing. I've had people ask me where I get my shirts and even kids pointing and staring at some of the designs (that's a good thing).

This just seems like something anyone with any type of graphics knowledge can put together on a "custom tee creator". It's not BAD, but it isn't creative either =/ I just expected more......

if you are going to do something that is not completly original then you must execute it well and I don't think that was done for this shirt. I understand the whole I love with out naming something else but there is no originality and nothing interesting about it. I'd rather wear a shirt with the kid picking his nose, that would be funny and interesting.

I do like the very simple design and universal message, by the way. A lot of tees on here get very complex and specific and, frankly, I have no idea what they are about. I haven't watched Lost since the first season and I haven't played video games in quite a few years; though it wouldn't matter because Ms. Pac Man still kicks a**. That's right, kids. I'm warming up my Super Nintendo as we speak.

This shirt would've conveyed the same idea if the period were removed and the text offset by square brackets to make it look like it intentionally only said "I love." Oh well.

It's not saying, "I love periods." It's saying, "I love PERIOD" as in I love. . . I don't hate, I love because it's how I am.

If I hadn't spent my monthly tee shirt budget on the grab bag I'd totally get one.

I'm not a fan of these shirts anyway, but that's just me. I can see what Elliott Burford was trying to do by using Milton Glaser's iconic advertising logo to promote 'Love' and doing so is a very aspiring ideal, but I think it falls short as too many people associate it with 'Loving Something', whether that's NY, London, Your Mum, whatever.

I won't be purchasing this shirt Elliott, but all the best with any future designs you submit to Teefury.

This shirt looks like the creator spent a whole 3 minutes creating it. No new and/or original concepts. The "I ♡... something" was overdone even 25 years ago.

ANYTHING to differentiate it from shirts found anywhere.

Sometimes the best art work to describe the subject is the most simplistic.

I feel this is that exact moment.
For instance, if it had a hello kitty inside the heart it would read as "I love hello kitty," while if it had "x"s all over the heart it would read as, "I love 'ex's," as odd as that would be.

I think it's fun to read peoples' comments who have obviously not read the words of the artist, kind of like looking through a looking glass into a barrel of drunken monkeys filled with chainsaws.

I don't like the style of this at all. Doesn't look like much work or thought was put into this shirt. Rather disapointed as I looked through your portfolio and saw much more high quality work. You are a good artist, but it's not represented here in this tshirt.

I like the message, but the design is just not there.

I know it is supposed to be simple, and it was a great idea back when Milton Glaser did it like 35 years ago but now it is terribly cliché and the visual message has been muddied by decades of appropriation and imitation.

i don't love my g/f's period...its usually when I tend to get yelled at so this shirt would just depress me to wear, thus no buy

I can understand the artistic value of it in "I Love"...but I'll never see it for anything other than "I Love Periods"

immature? maybe. Honest? yes.

maybe tomorrow TeeFury :)

voiceofavengersaid 101 weeks ago

Wow - is there an entire generation that us so used to abbreviated writing that using actual punctuation, as a graphic representation of a phrase (ie: "I'm done - period), is confusing? Wow. I like the simplicity and the underlying comment - got it immediately. Of course, I'm old, so my tastes are probably very uncool.

blythechildsaid 101 weeks ago

I love the simplicity of this and the message behind it, which is so important (and more than a few regulars on this site could benefit from a refresher course in it). But after reading the threads here I now see the "I love period(s)" thing, and as a woman, I can't wear that across my chest - no woman loves their period. I should just stop reading the opinions here...

Maybe it has potential for someone who collect pinback buttons, pin one with tacos on it on the period then its like "I heart tacos"

Thank you!! Although sadly, in high school, "I love periods" is exactly what people would read it as, so I wouldn't be able to wear it there... ;)

I think it could be a nice shirt, but sorta not in the market for simple art, this feels too easy, and the message is easy to misunderstand and that coupled with the simple design is a no sale for me.

I don't want to have to explain a shirt, or look like a creep.

I love it, it's not about loving anything in particular, but of the act of loving. It's not the artwork that's supposed to be impressive here, it's the message. The message of being a good person and wanting to spread good will. I would love to get it but it seems most people would be way too immature about it and look at it the wrong way. Which is really too bad.

I have yet to be on a tour of the human races minds.

Tho, it could be really cool. Kinda like that crazy movie where the guy gets shrunk down and injected into the body. I'm too sleepy to remember. It's been a long week.

And now... Brains. and Hearts.

Well there's the Dennis Quad movie Innerspace and the much older 1960s movie Fantastic Voyage (that one freaked me out as a child). Trying to think if there were others like that.

About the artist

Elliott Burford

View artist’s website

Art curated by

jimiyo

Words from curator:

Epic right? :)

Tell us about this design:
Milton Glaser's famous rebus and it's original ideals have been adopted, mass produced and distorted to serve many different purposes across the world. I felt there was an underlying message in this work that was much more important than the object of affection. Love.

What's a day in the life of Elliot like?

8 am. Phone alarm. Shower. Music + Bicycle. Fabrica (www.fabrica.it). E-mails. Tumblr. Coffee. Illustrator. InDesign. E-mails. Lunch (if I'm lucky – pasta alla carbonara). Coffee. Photoshop. InDesign. E-mails. Meeting. Drawing. Scan. InDesign. PDF. E-mails. Apple. InDesign. Coffee. Illustrator. PDF. E-mails. Podcast + Bicycle. Kitchen. Book. Unconscious.

How did you get your start in art?

I can't claim a specific climactic event has led me onto my current trajectory, but my commitment to the craft was solidified in late high school, upon the realisation that creatively expressing my own ideas across varied media, provided the opportunity to communicate, tell stories and produce tangible experiences for other people.

What inspires you?

At an essential level – people. The shared experience of being human – co-existence with others in society, the endless mission of survival through defining and projecting ourselves, whilst navigating the world through social interaction, the act of self invention and the constant burden of interpretation.

What's your art process like, from initial sketch to finished product?

Question. Research. Question. Research. Repeat until a clear goal and medium is defined – then get out the pens and pencils. Create more solutions than you need, select the best, then refine, present, test and repeat until satisfaction is achieved.

What would the you of now, tell the you of 10 years ago?

Learn how to cook and speak French.

What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?

Regardless of the form, every new work is an opportunity, use it – experiment and challenge yourself – someone else is paying you to do it.

MAC or PC?

Mac.

Any shout outs?

These people have influenced my creative process a lot in the past year:
