I had put this in earlier today but my internet freaked out and I accidentally posted too many versions. So I'm starting over. Please let me know what you think.

I like it very much. My quibble is that the topmost part of the design directs the viewer's attention away from the face of the person wearing the shirt. Of course, if you happen to have an ugly face and an awesome shoulder...

Not to be argumentative, but isn't that what t-shirts do anyway? I mean, anyone wearing a shirt with words on it has to expect that at least for the first 30 seconds, someone isn't looking at their face.

For those of you who said don't submit, do you have any reasons as to why so that I can prepare it for submission? This is a critique forum. Please leave a critique.

It's a new day, so hopefully I'll get new comments. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can make this better?

The design is cool. As far as placement goes:



Line and shape create a sense of gravity.

when shapes are at the top of a composition and negative space is at the bottom, there is a sense of instability. This isn't bad at all, but it isn't working for you design, especially since the toadstools and mass are pointing upward. If you moved the design down the the bottom of the shirt, it would help 'cement' it. The design might also benefit from taking away mass at the top and creating more at the bottom.



Another thing is that its nature, which doesn't seem right to me with black and white. I like that's its one color, so you could use that to your advantage by using a natural colored shirt and making the design color something analogous and closer in value.



Either way, these are both really easy fixes, so definitely mess around and see if you can't find something that you like more. Keep up the good work!
