instead of just straight lines why not at some interesting detail and make the colors overlap slightly. Ex. Maybe have swirls or veins overlap onto the other colors or bleed the colors out a bit. This would add more detail and it wouldn't look like something anyone could do
I don't know if you understood that at all but definitly a great idea (especially for us graphic designers)
gamerzchik: I thought about doing something with halftone screen dots at the top – fading up into the collar. I just kind of thought that the solid bars were a little more pure.
It's a pretty simple, probably already done-to-death, design – but it's been something I've wanted to get out of my head for a while.
