About my design

by RevDrLuv
Did you ever given a stencil as a kid and you just traced the whole damn thing on a sheet of paper??? No... really?... well I did anyway. Since so many shirts are stenciled on, I thought it would be cool to see this idea applied to a shirt. I thought it best if I kept it simple so I left it one color and made it look like it was actually traced on there.



Might also be a neat idea to change the color of a few letters so people are left trying to figure out what it is trying to say.

Well it was better than doing any actual schoolwork. Like the shirt, by the way!



The colours are right, don't highlight individual letters. It's a simple idea, so keep it simple. Would buy!

I think all us artists / designers did this at one time or another. This shirt wins.

my only problem is that that doesn't look like a colour pen you'd trace the stencil with. i suppose it could be a brown felt tip, but who ever picked up one of those when they had the choise of another colour. needs to be maybe a tiny bit more sketchy, cos you always fucked up doing those stencils a little bit somewhere, especially if you did them with a biro.



anyway, fantastic idea.

Actually I did trace this with a felt tip pen on a shirt. I scanned it in and converted it to one color via photoshop. It's quite sketchy actually. The brown... well I just like the monochromatic color scheme.
