It’s a (belated) Guardians of The Galaxy Weekend!

GOTG-poster

What a whimsical, comical, action-packed movie! Although some heavy world destroying stuff was going on, the comedy kept it light and fun. The Guardians were a very interesting mashup of characters and it was fun to see how they came together and worked as a team. Each character seems to have a different skill set and had their opportunity to shine in the film. Rocket and Groot seemed to stand out as fan-favorites. Although Star Lord was the leader and the main character, I probably liked him least. I felt his character was the least interesting and his comic ‘moments’ fell short for me. I did still find his back story intriguing and would be interested to learn more about his father and how he relates to his origin. Zoe Saldana and Bautista looked awesome as aliens with their different color and textured skin. They both kicked some serious butt and worked as the muscle of the group. All in all I really enjoyed watching this film. It was nice to just sit back and laugh.

All of my Top Picks for today are awesome Guardians of The Galaxy inspired shirts!

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.

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.

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.

ript_first-shot_1400044293_full

05/14/14 Top 3 Pick: First Shot

ATTITUDE! Both Han and Rocket are a shoot first ask questions later kind of guys. Rendered here in a tough, “cool guy” slouch, Rocket looks relaxed and nonchalant. Of course, hidden below this calm demeanor is his pistol pointed straight at its victim. I love his well illustrated raccoon face and his highly expressive eyes. The bold blocks and rough outlines of the letter forms justly fit the tough guy persona of both characters. I also really enjoy how the bright yellow of the fire really stands out against the earth tones of this design. And yes George Lucas, Han shot first!

05/14/14 Top 3 Pick: The TARDIS Zone

Surprise! I picked a Dr. Who shirt! Weird huh!? Tah dah, tah dah, tah dah, tah dah (that was my best onomatopoeia of the show’s intro music). I really enjoy this clever mash-up. Exploring space and time, the Tardis could definitely be in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Nice, simple outline of the tardis floating through space. Wonderful translation of the letter forms including: the odd-shaped serifs, various baselines, x-heights, and shifting letter axis. As you guys know, I am a sucker for typography and black and white designs!

05/14/14 Top 3 Pick: It’s Hip To Be Square

It is hip to be square, in a pixellated digital world! I love the angle in which this design is presented. It works great for the little 3-d objects and block letter forms. All the little objects seem to shift planes which make them appear in motion. Having the design be in simple black, white, and bright magenta definitely helps give it a digital appearance.

Thank You Manos

This Disney Princess is ready to take a bite out of this apple. The artist did an amazing job rendering this beauty with delicate folds in her garment and detailed twist texture in her hair. The figure is framed in a simple oval design with small content references. I enjoy this design on this light gray color but it is also offered in purple and blue.

Lulu looks lovely! This black mage looks sultry with large enthralling eyes. The high level of detail in the figure’s face and frame is exquisite.  Although the frame is complex, with many little elements, Lulu remains the focal point. The radiating background within the frame makes her glow, glorifying the figure.

03/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Gun Club

Target you attention to this design. These two pals are portrayed in a ready for action dynamic pose. The figures are contained in a target symbol, which is repeated in the design.  I enjoy the details on the figures. Especially the bark like texture on Groot and Rocket’s red eyes. The typography in the foreground is wonderfully treated. The letter forms fit nicely together and the use of the gun metal grays make the design cohesive.
