07/14/2014 Top Pick – Daily Shirt Designs

Hey guys!! Sorry for the long hiatus, but I am back from vacation and ready to share some awesome shirt designs!

7/14/14 Top Pick; Hot Wheels to the Future

“When this baby hits 88mph… you’re gonna see some serious shit.”

star Concept – Wonderful mash-up of the Hot Wheels toy cars with the Delorean from Back to the Future.

star Composition – I really enjoy the combination of the well rendered vehicle with the altered Hot Wheels logo. The motion conveyed by the shape of the banner with flames describes the speed of this infamous time traveling machine.

Thank You Victorsbeard

7/14/14 Top Pick; Revenge is Coming

star Texture – Wonderful hatching used to articulate the wiry wolf fur. The short thin strokes also create nice complexity in the design.

star Color – The different shades of gray nicely describe the shape of the wolf head. The textures also create wonderful variations of color by using different stroke lengths.

Thank You Dark Choocoolat

7/14/14 Top Pick; The Racoonateer

star Color – I really enjoy the contrast and transition of the warm oranges and yellows in the bottom to the cool blues and grays in the top of the design.

star Composition – The design is tilted on its vertical axis creating wonderful dynamic excitement. The swipe like stokes help exaggerate the tilt and create action.

06/23/14 Top Pick; Guardian of Metropolis

The Man of Steel substitutes a man made out of steel.

star Composition – Great use of geometric planes giving the design a deco aesthetic.

star Concept – This design is very similar to the original Metropolis design only the robot is appropriately altered into Superman.

teefury_spinner-of-spells_1403497094_full

06/23/14 Top Pick; Spinner of Spells

“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But… before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger, on the spindle of a spinning wheel – AND DIE!”

star Composition – I really enjoy the large dragon image behind the beautiful villain. The heavy purple areas nicely balance Maleficent’s figure.

star Lines and Forms – Great use of positive and negative spaces to render various details within the design.

star Color – I really enjoy the bright purple with the small bright green accents.

06/23/14 Top Pick; Wildling Encounter

star Concept – Interesting mash-up of characters.

star Lines and Forms – I really enjoy the cute little anime style render of both characters. I also really enjoy the negative space that details the trees in the background, also creating a nice field of depth.

Thank You TeeTurtle

woot_gamma-rays_1403500576_full

06/23/14 Top Pick; Gamma Rays

star Concept – Interesting design which visually portrays the smaller Bruce figure trapped within the larger Hulk figure.

star Color – I really enjoy the limited amount of color use to portray the infamous Hulk. The negative space figure within needs no introduction.

star Lines and Forms – The long thin refracted hazy lines are a great way of visually showing the rays. They nicely delineate the Incredible Hulk.

Thank You Steven Lefcourt

06/23/13 Top Pick; Watch the World Burn

star Composition – Wonderful compositions on the front and back of the shirt! The front has a great sense of dimension. Joker seem to pop out of the background. The back of the shirt in beautifully intricate and balanced and nicely relates to the front of the shirt.

star Lines and Forms – Wonderful amount of line work. Delicate and complex, the devil is in the details ;). Joker’s long grin is jaw dropping.

star Typography – If I didn’t follow this awesome artist of Facebook, I wouldn’t have seen her hand drawn sketches. Her letter forms look this good in her sketches!

06/10/2014 Top Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

I love Game of Thrones. Deal with it. 😛

teefury_fire-song_1402373890_full

06/10/14 Top Pick; Fire Song

The first in a pair of matching A Song of Ice and Fire designs. That’s Game of Thrones for you non-readers. Here we have the southern kingdoms and their noble houses.

starComposition – Wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components.

starColor – Bright regal golden fire appearance.

starLines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.

Thank You Jonito

teefury_ice-song_1402373873_full

06/10/14 Top Pick; Ice Song

The northern half of the pair. This design is a perfect foil to the other. See if you can spot all the details. It’s like a game of “Where’s Walder?”. Hint: the towers of the Twins are in there for House Frey.

starComposition – While this design is slightly different again, wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components. All the components are slightly different from the other design but work well together also.

starColor – Nice icy blues.

starLines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.

Thank You Jonito

06/10/14 Top Pick; The Knight’s Watch

starTexture – I really enjoy the distressed texture on the black areas giving them interest and complexity.

star Composition – Great use of positive and negative spaces. The men create a dynamic balanced pyramid by their placement in ascending order.

star Humor – Need I say more?

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

ript_crow_1399267570_full

05/05/14 Top 3 Pick;  Crow

“There’s no shame in fear, my father told me, what matters is how we face it.” This dark Crow stands strong within the cool, arctic blues and whites of the lone wolf image.  Wonderful image within an image. Jon’s dark garment is created out of a nice silhouette with the underlying image showing through to add textures and form.  I love the wild strokes on the wolf’s collar area forming its fur and the appearance of ice crystals.  At first glance I was captivated by the large image of the wolf, big and bright against the dark background. The flying crow naturally creates the form of the wolf’s eye slit. Beautiful symbolism showing the duality of Jon’s allegiance, to house Stark and his own brothers of The Night’s Watch.

Thank You Chrisables

ript_lion_1399267561_full

05/05/14 Top 3 Pick; Lion

“Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less. . . A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.” In this design, Tyrion’s figure is bold and solid black (a shadow if you will) and most of the texture lies within the lion’s head. The checkered floor serves as a wonderful way to express space and perspective. The pattern is also used as a form of ornamentation to show the lavish Red Keep of King’s Landing. The use of the bright, golden color on the wall sconces, hair, and glowing eye unifies the scene with the larger lion image. This design definitely embodies the Lannister words, Hear Me Roar.

Thank You Chrisables

teetee_weese-dunsen_1399242227_full

05/05/14 Top 3 Pick; Weese, Dunsen…

Every (under)dog has his day. Arya Stark will have her revenge, but will she lose herself in the process? She has known many names and perhaps more: Arry, Weasel, Boy, Horseface, Lumpyhead, Cat of the Canals, the Blind Girl, Mercy. The direwolf sigil in the background suggests she remembers who she is, but for how long? With seemingly all of Westeros on her list, she marches forward with her companion, Needle. The blue, gray, and black color scheme expresses the grim events that have occurred to her family and the dark path she is on. Her facial expression is harsh, angry, and determined. Wonderful sketch-like texture used for the figure adds complexity and stress. My favorite part of this design is the text. Having the type at an angle shows perspective, depth, and works as a  path to destruction. Remember, all men must die.

Thank You Sergiomancinelli
