About my design
by law7355
Originally a pen-and-ink doodle that was scanned in and worked on in photoshop with a Wacom tablet, and printed as an A1 poster for our flat. I started reworking it because I thought it wasn't complicated enough, and that's where the text came in. I've continued to fill in detail and about a month ago my wife asked if I could make her a tee of it for her...

My idea would be to print it one colour (white) on blue or a gradient on either Stone or Canary Yellow.

good but better printed on a dark colour, consider the gothic /romantic style we'll dress this winter

i think i have to agree about the blue shirt it makes the text pop and your eyes want to roam around the rest of the design more to find new things, i dig it

sincerely, i think the writing is a little out of place specially because you did all the rest by hand initially shouldnt the writing be harder to understand, since it's complicated, also i'm not sure i'd walk with something saying i'm complicated

Well done! Nice concept, and well executed. As a personal preference, I would have made the ornamental area square, and take up less area.

I'm probably the only one, but the word "complicated" by itself makes me think "Avril Lavigne" all over the place, which is not such a good thing for me. I suppose that someone without that connection would really appreciate this shirt; definitely the pattern you made around the word is quite lovely and, dare I say it, complicated. I also like how the pattern kind of infringes on the edges of the lettering. Strikes very elegant, that.

I also thought of Si Scott when looking at this.

I'd love to see the original sketch/drawing!!! I'd bet it took forever!

Beautiful! Um, I am not going to ask how you drew all the details. Seems like insane amount of work. I'd totally buy the print! $5

Great! Amazing design...It must have taken ages to execute.
I'd love the purple version on a black tee.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll have to look up that Avril L song, although I'm afraid if I do I may never be able to look at my own pic again. The colours seem to be the hardest thing to determine, I like it pretty subtle myself as the original was white design on black background and I thought this was far too 'in your face' - I think its better if you spend just that little longer before you realise how complex it is. I have a clearer version of the gradient design alone at

I'm dig it on the lemon.
I do wish the edges were so straight/rectangular like.
Other than that, it's very bossanova.
