The Big Necessity
Design by Nick Caruso
There's a time to get out the Sharpies, and there's a time to fire up Photoshop. I would argue that this would have been a time to do the former. One of last year's favorite designs was successful precisely because the computer was left out of it.

Sorry but from the looks of how clean and even those lines are, that's just a decent photoshop job, not a sharpie.
Double comment... upon re-reading it, you know that, and that's what you're saying. my fault, and I completely agree.
tbot please read the description again. I didn't say it was drawn; I said it would better if it had been.
agreed. i want to like it how it is, but… meh. looks like a magazine ad.
Sharpie! Sharpie! Sharpie! Sharpie!

I disagree. I think the hand-lettered type worked well on the Unmarketable cover you referenced because it is relatively easy to draw legibly on cotton, and the photo was shot straight-on. I can't imagine achieving decent readability with a sharpie on toilet paper. Though I can't say I've ever attempted it!
I might try this weekend...and it doesn't have to be a Sharpie. I think my point is more about the difficulty in putting type on images of 3D objects. I've just not seen very many examples that don't jump out and announce "this is fake" pretty loudly.
