About my design

by tshirtfanatic
This is based on lyrics from the song "Wolves." There are five wolves hidden in the tree ... kinda like I Spy....

If I hadn't of read your comment, I never would have seen them. Maybe make them stand out a liiittle bit more. But not too much.

I disagree that they need to be made more obvious. This is my favorite so far in the Ritter contest.

I've gotten a few comment about making the wolves more obvious. That is something I spent many hours toying with, but everything I tried (halftone patters, background patterns, clouds that "framed" the wolves, etc.) really took away from the design of the tree.



After much deliberation, I decided that clean and simple is best.

The famous artist Eli Thomas creates paintings just like this.

This design is really clever..

I really enjoy looking at it..

And I would enjoy wearing even more..

I think the wolves would stand out on a lighter shade of blue, but not to light..

the genius here is the way it makes you look twice-the wolves shouldn't be made more obvious, it would spoil the whole point of the thing

One of the most thoughtful shirts I've seen on this site. And I think the colors are great.
