About my design

by Shipwreck
The Chinese characters read "Strange Birds". The design originated from my experimenting with repeating forms with a brush pen.

I don't think the Chinese characters are necessary. The birds stand alone.

agreed. i'd love to see the bird forms alone, larger, maybe with some variations in color.

I like the birds without any words at the top. Very interesting design.

no need for asian words (no offence, I don't know which country exactly that's why I'm saying Asian, I'm just assume)

oh and no need for "Strange Birds"

This would look so much better in a natural shirt, but you have skills!

I just wanted to say that the words in English aren't part of the design. Yup.

I like the Chinese characters. Makes it look like it's from a scroll - any of those I've seen have had loads of writing on them.

it would be much more balanced if you actually had some other part of the design up where the tallons are on the red shirt.



you should add something there.

Remove the chinese characters. It's generally the case that the use of unnecessary asian writing make shirts look cheesy, even when the design is actually good.

I agree with some of the past comments. The birds are really cool, but I'd drop the Kanji

I like the kanji, but I agree that kanji in general are kinda played out. The design itself is gorgeous. I like it slightly better on the maroon, but I would really love to see it on a brighter color, too...

@gishmi1ish- It's not kanji, it's Hanzi, Chinese characters.



It's also kind of wrong. You don't use the possessive particle "de" between adjectives and the noun they describe. It should just be "奇怪鸟", or "两只奇怪鸟”. If you don't speak a language, you really shouldn't be using it on a shirt.

why did you use the same 'strange birds' as the shirt that was already printed? my sister owns that other strange birds....

what is with all the asian themed shirts. maybe i'm missing something, but i'm actually quite tired of them.

i love the design, especially on the deep red shirt, and am gonna have to agree with almost everyone else that you should nix the chinese characters.



the placement is cool, too.
