I think it would be cooler with just the figure in the chair, but great job!

I think the print would look better if it spanned the whole shirt instead of being in a box on the chest. So maybe if the darwing was moved to the lower right, the entire shirt is light blue, and the text on the chest perhaps?

why are perfectly good shirts ruined by text?

Yeah...get rid of the text....and the big boxy shape the figure is on....leave the figure in the chair by himself, but have him looking up at something, since that is where his face is pointed:-) I like the figure in the chair though....

I love the big boxy shape - it's important to the composition. The words can be ditched, though. Their style is different. They look like a straight unaltered brush - it's just too clean. Love this image, though. If you dropped or changed (scratched in or dirtied up a font) the text, I would buy this.

i totally agree with pinnyoverlord.



The guy in the chair in the bottom cornor. And the text is good, just have it on the chest. and make the whole thing blue, but you keep keep the random lines throughout.

I think the text works well here. I vote to keep it!

I think it would look better on a blue shirt with the white lines extending farther away from the figure.

ugly text.

wow, you know how to use a brush in illustrator. please, please, do better text treatment if you're not just using a font.



also, i like the roughness of the blue background, but can we move away from a SQUARE and perhaps do a more interesting/unusual shape?

ugly text.

okay, so you know how to use an illustrator brush. please, do a better treatment of the text if you're not going to use a font, i can think of SUCH better approaches that would flow with your design.

but i don't even feel the text is necessary.





additionally, though i like the scratchiness of the blue background, a more interesting/unusual shape instead of a boring rectangle would improve things.

It looks to me like it says Give to be Alive. Curiously similar to Give Blood for Life type campaigns. It's confusing.
