About my design

by rpolich
Eadweard Muybridge proved, using early photographic equipment, that all four of a horse's legs leave the ground when it runs. Pretty sweet, for 1877. This design is based off of a series of his photographs showing a horse and rider in motion. The design would be an all-over, single-color print, with one airborne horse in a different color (or silver foil). Shown on white and dark gray shirts and a hoodie.

For the record (since there are a lot of designs floating around out there incorporating silhouettes), these are NOT clip art. These are painstakingly drawn with the pen tool in Illustrator by yours truly.

That's all from me...bring on the votes! All comments and criticisms are welcome, provided you take at least ten seconds to think about what you're going to say before you start typing. Enjoy, and I look forward to your feedback!

i like it!

$5

maybe make each horse a bit bigger so the leg thing is alittle more obvious

I like the idea but don't like the all-over pattern... maybe a belt all the way around?

I likes it. It looks like those punk rock/hip hop hoodies with patterns all over it.

I'd like white horses on black with an odd silver horse ;)

nice,

but i just thought (just my opinion lol) that along with the colored individual horse, you could make it facing the opposite way of all the others, you know, like spot the not XD

cool concept, but it is busy. you might want a single line all the way around the shirt. great drawing though, and i'd still buy it!

well, the tokyo police club shirt costs you a buck more than this would if it won. tell me how that's better.

that's what i thought.



keep them (pertinent) comments coming, everybody!

nice. i think what works best is when there's not too much contrast between the shirt color and the ink color. like darkish grey on black, on a hoodie, i'd buy it.

This is really cool!!! I looked at the Tokyo Police Club Shirt and that shows the steps of a horse going over a jump, not galloping. I love this way more. I really like the way you outline the one horse. Good job!
