About the design

Submitted by xiuzhenlee on March 17, 2012

I've always admired GAP's minimalistic and simplistic designs, thus this is a tee design I came up with to embody these two things. I worked with a 0.1 drawing pen for this, and thought the design would work better with just lineworks; hence the minimalism.

This design was also inspired by a poem written by the talented Anna Peters (http://topographe.tumblr.com/)
“I tried to forget
but you grew roots around my ribcage
and sprouted flowers
just below my collarbones.
all day I pluck their petals
but I have not yet ascertained
whether you love me
or not”

Would love to see some color blooming from the flowering side of the ribcage, cool stuff though.

Nice illo, would be better with color.

great concept, I love the minimalist feel! I think the neutral scheme sort of goes along with the way the poem is presented; when reading the poem, it doesn't sound like the flowers are incorporated for their colourful nature, but rather their physical structure and their petals. I dig the design! :)

Thank you guys so much for all the feedback :) really appreciate it. And I did consider adding colour to the design but I didn't want to focus so much on colours. This design was genuinely the interpretation from my mind to paper when I read the poem for the first time. But I will definitely consider working with more colours in future :) Once again, thanks!

Ahhh, please please, universe, let Threadless print this... This is a great design based on a great poem.

PS, Anna Peters/topographe posted about this today. ;)
