i'm hoping this will be my first accepted design. i was thinking about the effects achievable with these swanky new printing techniques, and have hopefully made something simple, but striking utilising the simulated process. the 'just so' is how i wanted to reflect this as well - not every tee has to have a witty message, sometimes it's enough to just like a design...
the colours work well on light, natural tees, particularly light blue, yellow and cream.
hmmm, lots of scoring, not much in the way of comments. methinks the masses are being polite!
anguished for ages about whether to handwrite the text, but the play between the organic (girl) and the text didn't seem as interesting... maybe i was wrong?
come on! tear me a new tee shirt if you don't like it.
;-)
thanks all for comments!
papersky - only significance of 'just so' was meant to be a cheeky nod to rudyard kipling's short stories, but mostly in the sense that not everything is easily explained (i.e. there isn't really a simple answer for how the whale got it's throat, etc). similarly a tee shirt can sometimes just have a design with no witticism, brand, political agenda or intricate design...
the j was shaped and angled to balance out the face of the girl that emerges from it which is meant to be an counterpart the harsh typographical lines.
