About my design

Love the colors and the idea... But something about the orientation of the stems is turning me off. They make it a little too anthropomorphic (they look like little arms and legs?)



If I were making it, I would have all the stems bend in the same direction (all the the left or all to the right).



But heck, I'd buy it!

Yeah, i agree with skia, it does seem a bit anthropomorphic, but other than that, it rocks!

I would have made the leaves 2 different colors in autumn. one orange, one red

Plants should always grow up, shouldn't they?



Also the value scales for winter and spring are a miss. Summer and Fall have a constant value shift from light to dark . . . constantly gettting closer to black as it goes out.



Spring and winter Don't . . . They have an awkwardness to them because they don't flow as well as Summer and Fall. If you could change to Value of the colors so that they make more of a gradient look (not of one color just from light to dark) It would look significant;y better.



But this is a good start fo sho. :) 3

I agree with Nocturnal on all points made.

Um.. I simply tried to capture the general feel of each season- as I experience them. I live in a part of the world where it rains in the winter and it's generally grey and overcast most of the time. Spring to me is the transition from the cold into the warm and this also brings new life.



I did not take into account that summer and autumn flow so well, I simply used the colours that I felt represented the season. And yes, there are different colours that could be introduced.



Point taken. Thank you for the comments.

This one is better than the other one. The two look nothing alike.



However I would like it if you'd rotate the design ninety degrees to the right. Pretty please?

i like this concept alot, but maybe you should make it a little softer and more natural.. if that makes sense

I think it'd better if you made the little arms all facing the same direction so that it represents a cycle a bit more. Very nice concept, though!

I'm not big into multicolored shirts like this one...but for some reason it really intrigued me. I'd get it.

I like that the plant is slightly tilted, I agree with the suggestion to make them all tilt/turn the same direction.



I like your design concept much better than the other one mentioned here in the comments.



I think fall would be better concluded by a red with slighly more brown in the shade. NocturnalDaze is dead on with the reasoning that this works because of the progression from light to dark. Winter definitely needs a different a change up, but I think Spring can get away with staying as is.



I think this shirt would look amazing on most colors-loving it on the black or a white.



You've got an amazing concept, it just needs some adjustments before it's an "I have to own that."
