I like this, because it's more 50's-ish/suburban; takes the edge off

i actually like ROARSARA's cityscape better, since it's pretty much the same idea. this one is cool, but it's more of a collage-y bunched graphic design whereas cityscape is more of a minimal & artistic piece.

i would prefer a different colour scheme. if say you use a yellow shirt and the print would be turquoise that would be awesome print. the orange and white combo is...meh!



but loving the design!

Setting aside any comparison of this sub to another; two questions come to mind.



1. Does it look good? (I think it does.)

2. Is it wearable? (I think it is.)

3. Is it perfect? (Eh, probably not.)



Therefore, $4.

great design, nice layout, but in flavor it does feel kind of "lifestyle off the rack" from Old Navy or Target. It's better than what you might find there, but it's got the same vibe. And yes, I used the word "vibe." I'm sorry, it's very late and I drank too much when I was little.

it reminds me of cityscape. i can appreciate the bunched cramped feelingthis shirt is trying to give off, but i prefer the others arrangment. sorry. definitely an admirable try though.

UM! It is a lot like cityscape. or maybe i just saw that one first and it is really like this one. hmmm well 3..... but if someone started taking signs from one town and made a whole lineup of cityscapes with unique signage with not borders it think it was cool. but then again what do I know...

:::

This submission was inspired by my bike ride to work everyday. Each day I take a photo of hand-painted signage. I have an archive that I have created vector graphic toolboxes out of that I plan to have available for purchasing. I feel that this aesthetic look is very compelling and the signage has a very rough and seductive graphic look.



I hope you enjoy.

Also check out my website...each day I post a new photo of the found signage/type.
