Title: [IC] Butterfly Mats// desk mat designs
Post by: Becky| TOTL on Fri, 26 March 2021, 14:00:36

Introducing the "Stratosphere" desk mat design.

Looking for opinions on what I would change or add.

Would you buy?

Yes but now they want to know if they should change anything or if we are going to buy it. So they made a different post instead of commenting on the original thread.

Bad Butterfly mat

Not to be offensive, but the mats aren't good at all. They look like they were done with only a few days of experience dabbling in Photoshop/Illustrator/Inkscape. There is nothing particularly attractive about the design, other than the charm of it being 'so bad it's good' like a lot of memes are nowadays... but it dances on that boundary so closely that you can't really tell if it's intentionally bad (charming and requires some skill / talent) or if it's a trying attempt - which makes it a hard pass from me.

IMO, you either have to work a lot on the design to make it a lot better, or dumb it down to make it a lot worse. It's pretty bad as it is, but I can't tell if it's intentional. So the intent is unclear. Good luck

This feels like low effort blobs made in MS paint as the background with some default wordpad text katakana thrown on top. Then, in the bottom corner theres a butterfly that looks exactly like the doodles my little brother does in birthday cards. So honestly, no, wouldn't buy.

It doesn't look professional or good  but i give you props for  at least doing your own work instead of using google images :D

I feel like this is one of the most jumbled IC's I have seen in a while. Why did you post on multiple threads, why aren't the images embedded into your post or at least in the same album? I'm not really a big fan of them personally but I feel like you should work on your presentation.
