for the iron and wine contest

i basically just need tips on placement, tee color, and things like that. unless you've got another critique. actually, anything would be fantastic...

show us a clean one

because right now im not really sure what it is im looking at

you mean, like get rid of the sketchy lines etc?



it would pretty much look like crap



i could try, but i really have no idea how to do that to it... would i use illustrator or something?

or do you mean just re-draw it cleaner?

anyone???



...anyone?

Yes, you'd re-draw it in illustrator. The issue as I understand it is that when the shirt prints, you cannot have smooth gradation such as your sketchy lines. Try drawing it in under 5 solid colors in a program like illustrator.

oh, well that sucks . i don't have illustrator.



any other plans?

Try Inkscape, or using solid colors in your paint program.

oh hey... you think i could just... turn the contrast all the way up so it's just one solid color??

Try it.

hm. changing contrast didn't really do anything.



can anyone with photoshop skills help me a bit here?? i do own ps cs3, if i could use that to make this better that would rock

i hate floating to the bottom of the bloglistthing

does anyone else have any ideas??? should i just toss the whole thing and start over?

It's a really nice drawing. It might be tricky but you could re-draw it in Photoshop. It's not as easy as illustrator...but it could be done. Then your lines would be cleaned up & you could add color if you wanted....

I just don't know if it would be as striking of a design without all the messy lines, that's a really cool look.
