05/19/2014 Top Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

Hello loyal readers! I’m shaking things up a bit today so bear with me…

So I only picked 2 shirt designs today. I am changing it up a little because no other design really caught my attention. Going forward I will be posting only the daily designs which truly captivate me so I can give them their due. I don’t want to be stuck with a rigid 3 design quota, and this allows me more wiggle room. I hope you enjoy!

05/19/14 Top 2 Pick; Boba The Animated Series

Have you noticed all the Star Wars and Batman designs lately? Well here’s a little of both. The lone bounty hunter stands tall, surveying the scene. Wonderful, strong silhouette stands surrounded by warm copper tones and cool glowing blue details. Boba’s armor, jetpack, and cape cast a strikingly similar silhouette to Batman, which fits nicely. I really enjoy the brown copper color which I feel I rarely see paired with that bright blue. The contrast of these two colors gives the design dimension. As a designer, it is always fun to try different color combinations. Sometimes they work and unfortunately sometimes they don’t. I think this color combination was a success, I’ll have to store it in my color combo memory bank.

Thank You Nicko Designs

05/19/14 Top 2 Pick; Frosty Flakes

Cool down this summer with Elsa and Shirt Punch. These Frosty Flakes are Grrrrrreat! and magically delicious! Wonderful, well-balanced composition. I love the variation of color and thickness of the outlines. Elsa’s large bright eyes and wind-swept braided hair looks well rendered. The rest of the design consists of a wintry background with snowflakes for a well-rounded composition with depth.  I greatly enjoy the snowflake cut out shape that helps the figure’s cape transition to the shirt. Yes, I do catch these small details, and I love them!

05/04/2014 Top 3 Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

05/04/14 Top 3 Pick; Rogue Leader

Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you! Awesome render of the X-Wing spacecraft. The amount of lines and details in this design are out of this world! I very much enjoy the old-style bold script type creating the fancy red frame around the design. The thin lines creating the sunburst around the craft are a great way to lead the eye to the main focal point and help it stand out from all the patterns contained in the design.

05/04/14 Top 3 Pick; Bounty Hunter

Another awesome Star Wars design today! A gruff render of the bounty hunter Boba Fett’s helmet. Wonderful use of large, bold strokes and shape to create a larger image. While this design looks plain, the dry brush effect causes a distressed look and gives it complexity. The eye is to meant to finish the shapes in certain areas which keeps this design interesting. The missing shapes and negative space give the design an element of mystery and intrigue as well, playing on the hidden identity of the man behind the helmet.

Ok, so this is not a Star Wars shirt, but it is a design I definitely enjoy. Viva La Revolution! Tyrion Lannister is absolutely one of my favorite Game of Thrones characters! This design renders Peter Dinklage in a heroic and revolutionary way which fits thematically with his persona in the series. You can almost hear the shouts of “Half Man!” in the background. The solid, basic black and white colors on a red shirt is bold and makes a statement which is why this combination is usually the color palette in most propaganda. I especially enjoy the little details. Like the little lion on his beret, the slash across his face, and the three-letter label.

Thank You Nertee Designs
