The photo was taken, developed, and printed by me using a Minolta XD-7 Film SLR. It kind of has a mysterious, spooky vibe, and I wanted to see whether it'd make it as a shirt design. I can't quite figure out though whether it looks better when placed at the bottom, or across the chest.



Comments, please? :) Thanks in advance!

cool image! i like it on the bottom much better. maybe just fade the image into the black shirt so you dont get that define line



please take a look at mine!

Great photo and cool spooky. I'm not sure how well a straight up but great photo will be liked as a tee though. Maybe add a bit more story to it. Try the chest positioning and add a photo of the back of a hockey-masked, wild haired head to the bottom right of the tee or use the bottom positioning think of something eerie to put up top. I don't know, and don't get me wrong, the image is terrific, just thinking you might need a more compelling story. Cheers!

Stylized the photo, then added the haze. Should I keep working on the big version (with the photo at the bottom), or should I keep the whole thing in the center of the tee? Or, I could remove the haze altogether, and work with just the stylized photo... What do you guys think? :)

I like the previous version better. I agree that adding color could work for design, but the Cloud renders just aren't working for me at all. I'm sure there's a way to keep the detail of the photo in V1 but staying in the color limit.

i agree with the person above, the haze design takes away from the main subject, i think your initial version is strong. if youre seeking a color component, keep the environment black and white, and maybe add a person in it who is the only colored subject? that could be interesting

i like the previous version better too.. i think with the haze you are taking away from the picture and for me it doesnt look as interisting, but the version before i think it looks great...

thank for the comment!

yeh, i quite liked it in v1.



perhaps some ideas for you to try out. with the photo in v1, add in some ghosts in glow ink, that way it would give it more of a story as mentioned by quister. the difference in style between a photo and a more handdrawn/cartoonish ghosts would be quite interesting. much like the squeeze shirt which was printed.

Ack! Don't mind v4, my browser screwed up o.O Current version is v3 :) Sorry!

I really like the photo it has this awesome eerie look to it. how bout something on the road...like those lines you see at crime scenes but with the shape of a bat....hmmm sorry mabye that was a dumb idea, but i think adding something to the photo that looks like its really part of the scene graphics wise yet supprising/unusual would be cool.

Think v1 has good atmosphere and is the right direction. Maybe drop out the house detail by the cars and possibly on the other side of the road too. I think this would draw your attention into the image better, be a little less distracting and maybe allow for a large print on the t?



Which brings me to my next point which someone has mentioned already...something on the road in either high contrast or colour. I'm thinking a long shadow of a person extending into the image from the viewer...possibly with an axe...or chainsaw. Could be fun to play with.

Hehe ! ouhhhhhhhh ! Spooky !



I think there is too much difference of style between the draw and the photos... And the black of eyes should occupied better the with. Looks a little bit randomly placed here. :-)

Good job on the photo.



Please, Take a time to comment

yeah, i don't think the characters fit as they currently are.

what you could do is put people in the actual scene but in glow ink so they only show up at night.

you could maybe turn it into a crime scene or something liek that too? it's a great pic but needs some sort of context to work on the shirt but far subtler than what you've gone for in the previous versions.

thanks for your comment on mine
