Description So this is my entry, inspired by the gameboy colour and the floortile pattern in my church hall.

I chose to work with the gameboy colour because this was my first foray into the wold of 8bit, and so many fond memories come from playing PokΓ©mon Blue. I chose to use my brother's gameboy as a reference, because I'm not sure the semitransparent purple of my own would work well in this format.

There are two printed surfaces here, front and sleeve. I have six colours in this, including three shades of that nice blue/turquoise, and the red is the tiny power light beside the screen. The dA logo on the from at the bottom is not wonky, its supposed to follow the bottom edge of the hoodie. This can be omitted however as it already carries the much larger logo on the sleeve. Also, the black dots in the bottom right of the gameboy itself may also be removed to facilitate easier printing.

I have the original .psd files of both the gameboy and the proposal, so colours and layouts can easily be changed.

Don't forget to veiw full size ;D

EDIT
I've had a few questions about copyright. Specifically about the shape of the console itself. The logos are copyrighted, which is why I've left them out. I cant find any evidence to say that the shape of the device itself is. You do see cars and electrical stuff in TV shows with a bit of black tape over the logo or something. I'm hoping its the same thing...

the logos are gone this is perfectly legal. The rules don't implicitly state that front and front pocket are different print areas but you can't cross the seem that much is clear. though this is a pretty awesome design just in general I voted

Check mine out ? [link]

To let you know: If anything, the fact that the logos have been removed further infringes upon this design as it's like you're trying to hide the fact that it's Nintendo's property. I understand this was not your intent, but you have to look at it from all perspectives if you're unsure.

Also, be aware that this design also makes use of three separate design spaces on the hoody. The front and front pocket are classed as separate areas, combined with the sleeves you've used 3 areas. This competition is looking for designs that use no more than two design areas.

Hope this info helps, I do actually like your vector gameboy though.

There are copies out there [link]

As for the print areas, I'll refer you to the creative brief: "Limit your design to only two print areas. The front, back, sides, sleeve and hood are each considered separate print areas" Doesn't mention the pocket, let alone say it's separate. I have used the front and a sleeve

The seam crossing is a good point though, thankyou. I'll just go fix that now

Of course the Gameboy is copyrighted Nintendo would never give that up. It breaks the rules of the competition because of that, sadly.

It might still not be allowed since it's obviously one. I know that they put stuff on shows and stuff where they cover it, but that's more with pop cans where there's more than one brand. I've never seen anything shaped like that that wasn't a Gameboy. It is at least an original design

Speaker dots never omitted! Speaker Dots are lovely! I think it should be available in other colors of GameBoy, but that's just my opinion. I would totally wear this.

Yeah, I can do other colours, I just picked this coz its my favourite, and I think it goes best against the white

It does go great. It's just that it'd be cool if people could get the color that they had when they were little. I had the red one, and my mom said it was dark pink.

It wouldn't take much to change the colour. Just need to mess about in photoshop for a bit then I'll have every colour

This is a great design, the gameboys are layered and spaced really well and look fantastic on the design with the ahite background. The deviantART logo also doesn't look forced or out of place at all. Voted.
