Looks like 5 colors to me: black, white, yellow, light yellow, beige. I think the way you're presenting your design isn't helping. I'd rather just have an image of the design without the ebay stuff.



For the design itself, the spots are too large and have eyes. Some linework or darker shadows on the cat would help define the shape better. It would also help if you found a way to combine the elements into one integrated design. Right now it looks like three separate items - the box, cat , spots.

Waaaaaay too confusing of a presentation. Is that supposed to be Simba and a box with some rocks? I'm completely lost to the purpose of this design!

ah. why is it that nobody can deal with anything 'new'? who says the standard way is always the best?

I understood what was going on! And I think it's really clever. I'll echo what somebody said, which is that the spots should be smaller and the design should be more integrated. Fix it up and re-sub because it's a great idea!

I'm pretty sure drawing simba as your own design is copyrighted and as a leopard trying to change his spots - he's a lion.

What a lot of simba comments!! I'll post the original drawing in a blog now because this was actually based on an old design of a panther cub. Panthers are pretty similar to leopards in t-shirt designs, or so i thought, so i altered the design and here it is with a purpose. Thanks for all the constructive criticism but yeh, as a graphic designer i try not to make things obvious for people. I try and leave something for them to try to work out and thats the point of the layout above. Live a little! Tom
