04/23/2015 Top Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

WOW! It has been forever since my last post! To all my avid followers, I am sorry for the hiatus. My professional life has changed in the last few months. I am now a Graphic Designer for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts! Which has been awesome…

I still check out the different daily tee shirt sites regularly, but I haven’t had time to share. I hope to be able to make time going forward and share my favorite designs!

It’s a Snow Day here in VA! The ground is covered in nice white powder. Time to blog! What better way to spend the time indoors? Luckily there are two designs today that captured my interest 🙂

ript_son-of-hell_1424153480.full1

2/17/15 Top Pick; Son Of Hell

heart-04 Composition – Nice simple bilateral symmetry. The round plate in the background nicely unites the two smoking guns in the foreground.

heart-04 Color – I really enjoy the monochromatic reds with the limited cream color highlights.

heart-04 Lines & Forms – Wonderful lines and forms in the details of the guns. I also really enjoy the geometry in the round plate. Hellboy’s face looks rough and is nicely highlighted by the thin brighter red lines.

Thank You Fernando Sala

teefury_project-626_1424149913.full

2/17/15 Top Pick; Project 626

heart-04 Composition – Awesome radial symmetry. The many limbs and weapons nicely balance around the center. I really enjoy the light blue icon and text on the bottom of the design. It pulls the eye downward, stabilizes, and completes the design.

heart-04 Color – Nice mix of warm and cool colors. I especially like the glow added around the entire design. For example, the light reflecting from Stitch’s nose, weapons, and even background.

heart-04 Lines & Forms – Clean line work. I really like the dark and light outline around Stitch. It makes him glow and stand out from the busy round background.

Thank You Emilie B

A great day for Alice in Wonderland!

teefury_the-flowers-of-wonde_1417583636.full

12/03/14 Top Pick; The Flowers of Wonderland

snowflake Color Scheme – I love the warm colors in contrast with the cool blues and grays of the leaves on the navy blue background. Although there are warm and cool colors, they seem to harmonize well.

snowflake Typography – Wonderful looping script type. It nicely weaves through the field of flowers. It boldly serves at the main component in this design.

snowflake Composition – The typography slants across the field leading the eye through the flowers. The little Alice figure in the bottom right corner is nicely balanced with the smaller type in the top left corner.

Also, I love the little branches with buds which add decoration to the flowers. Can you spot the hidden white rabbit? Too cute!

Thank You Gemma Roman

11/19/2014 Top Post – Daily Shirt Designs

teefury_relativity_1416373891.full

11/19/14 Top Pick; Relativity

Interstellar was just a wonderful and amazing experience. A must watch on the big screen. So, if you haven’t watched this movie yet (what’s wrong with you!?) go head, get in your car, drive to the theater, and prepare to be delighted for the next 3 hours. Side note, if you cry during movies bring a box of tissues or two. Trust me!

snowflake Color –  I love the rich earth tones used in this design. Not only do they reflect the maze of books in the movie, but also Earth and humanity.

snowflake Composition – Balanced bilateral symmetry that gives the erratic lines stability.

snowflake Lines and forms – I really enjoy the simple geometry forms that make up the center part of the design. They fall nicely creating an interesting positive space in the field above the helmet. Then they run down to develop the round shape of the helmet. The lines continue down to form interesting drips that mimic the top creating repetition.

I’d also like to give a shout out for depicting Matthew McConaughey so well using simple blocks of color. Kudos!

Thank You DannyHaas

qwertee_the-last-space-bende_1416179561.full

11/18/14 Top Pick; The Last Space Bender

snowflake Color – I really enjoy the rainbow of colors that extends over all the positive Space in this design. The figure created out of the negative space sits boldly and simply amidst the positive areas.

snowflake Texture – The light washes of color give this design an airy, cosmic feel.

Thank You KharmaZero

teefury_bat-attitude_1416287481.full

11/18/14 TopPick; Bat Attitude

snowflake Lines and Forms – Barbara Gordon is ready to BATter up! Wonderful thick line work. The thiner lines within the figure add a wonderful rough texture.

snowflake Composition – I really enjoy the simple composition of all the lovely girls in this series. The figures are all in varying sitting poses on a simple stamped background.

snowflakeColor – The varying purples, cool grays, and golds work wonderfully together. I don’t usually rock purple. I believe I only have one purple tee shirt, so I might just have to buy this one!

Thank You Tom Kurzanski

teefury_whip-it_1416287476.full

11/18/14 TopPick; Whip It

snowflake Lines and Forms – I would love to rock Selina’s outfit; it’s so CATTY! Again, the thick line work gives the design a bold look while the thin inner lines add detail.

snowflake Compostion – Like the rest of the series, I really enjoy the lovely figure sitting simply on the stamped background. The background has just been simply rotated to better balance the figure.

Thank You Tom Kurzanski

teefury_siren_1413346845.full

10/15/14 Top Pick; Siren

pumpkin icon  Color – Wonderful cool color scheme. Even the reds and yellows are treated cool and soft. The light, muted blues and green give Ariel an underwater look.

pumpkin icon Lines and Forms –  I really enjoy this new school tattoo style of design. Nice thick lines with interesting shading and proportions. Her hair adds wonderful oblong and organic shapes which adds interest to the composition.

pumpkin icon Composition – This beautiful Siren’s pose is elegant and alluring. The little flounders nicely frame her beautiful face while the rope nicely contains the maritime scene.

Thank You Tim Shumate
