This was inspired by a WW2 prison camp advert I saw a few weeks ago. It's another entry for Staffell's Joy of Text II blog competition.
|
 |
It's cool, but too much writing for me.
|
 |
beautiful, makes me want to read it

kaloyster on Jan 15 '07 Are those hand-drawn text? 'Coz I believe that's what staffell implemented as a rule.
|
 |
amazing 5$
|
|
steven218 on Jan 16 '07 Yes, it's hand-drawn. I set it in illustrator first to get the look I wanted, then redrew it by hand once I was happy with it. The only vectors are the two boxers.

That's my limit. Very nice by the way.
I'm also probably wrong aout the font. |
|
steven218 on Jan 16 '07 yes, yes you are… but thanks for playing debs!
|
|
I like to feel involved.
|
|

Ian Leino on Jan 16 '07 My brain hurts just thinking about hand lettering all of that. In a design that would have so easy to go way overboard with, you've stuck a perfect balance of form and color. Incredible!
|
 |
Ste7en on Jan 16 '07 excellent text work (i'd say typography, but its more writography)
|
 |
too much going on
|
 |
Luke... on Jan 16 '07 great concept
|
 |
fwahh..very retro.. loving it.
|
 |
Something with this much text needs to be on the back of the shirt. It's less awkward to have people stalking behind you than walking backwards in front of you if they want to read your shirt.
|
 |
+RECONSTRUCT+ on Jan 17 '07 awesome work steven218
|
 |
Love it, so much better than those reading and glastonbry festival tshirts you see everyone in.
|
 |
eskimokiss on Jan 17 '07 i agree with ian, your hand must be really sore :/
Turned out great though! 5$ |
|
steven218 on Jan 17 '07 absolute agony pazz, I had to keep taking breaks!
|
|
Just a nitpicky note: "Elecution" should be "Elocution," but every thing else looks great!
|
 |
to busy, but like the idea
|
 |
d3d on Jan 19 '07 i'd wear that. i love old boxing posters.
|
|
(matthijs) on Jan 19 '07 Good stuff Steven. It's not a fair game of course, only one of them is wearing gloves!
|
|
steven218 on Jan 19 '07 haha, remember that it's Willie Pep he's fighting though - he'd need some kind of advantage! (One for the boxing fans out there)
|
|
I can't believe that you did all that lettering by yourself its amazing. Type drives me up the wall. Great job!
|
 |
i would buy it
|
 |
this is waaaaaaaaaaaay cool!
|
|
Fix the elocution typo and I'd buy it.
|
 |
Love it.
|
 |
Reminds me of those old Wendy's table-tops from ~10 years ago. The ones that looked like old-timey newspapers.
I used to love reading the adds on those while eating 5-piece nuggets with my grandma & grandpa. *sigh* But now G-Pa's gone, and G-Ma is alone. :-( I really gotta go visit my grandma more often. *wistful chagrin* Good design though! |
 |
WOOOO vary cool this tee is awsome. My pop used to box bigtime... almost got pretty big too!
|
 |
oh i do love a great text shirt...hand lettered even...wonderful font designs...i'd wear it, tho backwards...and i'm OCD enough to try to correct the "elocution" myself with ink
