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!

06/20/14 Top Pick;  Super Freeze Fighter

(Inserts Coin)

“Round 1, FIGHT!”

star Concept – It would be interesting to see these match-ups since they all have similar powers.

star Lines and Forms –  All characters are nicely rendered in pixel form. The fighters are cleanly organized in the rounded corner square grid. I enjoy that some characters slightly pop out of their square.

“Let The Wild Rumpus Start!”

star Lines and Forms – Wonderful dark hatched strokes that give this design a similar style to the Where the Wild Things Are.

theyetee_ill-always-protect-y_1402204574.full

06/08/14 Top Pick; I ‘ll Protect You

starColor – The color in the design really helps stabilize and adds visual interest. Since the Big Daddy looks visually heavy in black, the brighter colors on the left side help balance his body on the right.

starTexture – I really enjoy the texture in this design. The chalk pastel style gives it rich complexity. The feathered lines look quick and distressed which contrasts nicely with the bright looks.

starComposition – The large-scale of the Big Daddy figure dominates the design. Although the Little Sister is much smaller, the composition is stabilized by the Big Daddy’s pose. He is leaning over towards her, creating a continuous, implied arch line from his headgear to her little form and bright dress.

Thank You Logan Feliciano

06/08/14 Top Pick; Believe

This wise little guy looks like he is radiating the force.

starComposition – Wonderful haloing effect around a well-rendered Yoda. The position of his upward-lifting head suggests he is calm and at peace. The top radiation pattern is nicely balanced with the smaller bottom radiating pattern.

starLines – I really enjoy the radiating lines created by the thin triangle and circle patterns. The pattern is wonderfully geometric and creates a great complex background.

Thank You CAPPO376

star Composition – Great play with positive and negative space.

shirtpunch_bounty-hunter_1401423395_full

05/30/14 Top Pick; Bounty Hunter

(Geez, another Boba Fett shirt! He’s becoming the Doctor Who of my blog!)

star Color Scheme – The yellows, reds, and greens work well together. I really enjoy the various color splashes and the white highlighting.

starComposition – The helmet side view at a tilt gives the simple content of the design much-needed visual excitement. The mandalorian logo barely peeks out in the background. Awesome detail!

05/30/14 Top Pick; Castle Grand Prix

(Mario Kart 8 is out! :D!!!)

star Color Scheme – Wonderful warm color palette . I really enjoy the solid bold color shapes and gradients. The highlighting and shading of this design is wonderful.

star Composition – Well developed foreground, mid-ground, and background. Wonderful transition or fade from the block of the design to the shirt. I really enjoy the small details like the mushroom power-up and ramp in the background.

theyetee_no-love_1399871516_full

05/12/14 Top 3 Pick; No Love

Some of my favorite shirts are ones with subtle video game references. Something a non-gamer might not look at twice. Mario himself is not present and neither are Princess Peach or Bowser, who is only referenced in name. Interesting tattoo style design. The composition is packed with many components which are all nicely balanced. The X-shaped pipes in the background radiate outward while the light-colored wings in the center help unite and brighten the design. The dagger stabs the center and serves as a focal point to lead the eye to the text wrapped around the banner. I very much enjoy having the text incorporated and wrapped around the design instead of having it float elsewhere. Interesting use of a red turtle shell in the center with the dagger instead of the usual heart.

Thank You BeastPop

teeminus_fight-like-a-woman_1399868145_full

05/12/14 Top 3 Pick; Fight Like A Woman

Who said girls can’t be tough? This strong superheroine, portrayed in a lovely rose shade, is ready to put up a good fight. The silhouette  is easily recognizable as Wonder Woman by portraying her arm cuffs, head bead, and long curled locks.  The letter forms in the foreground are large, bold, and extended creating a wide wall of letters which the figure’s arms look ready to break down. I very much enjoy the placement of the pink breast cancer ribbon within the letter forms. It snugly fits on top of the negative areas and is outlined slightly thinner which help prevent it from clashing with the letter.

Thank You Teeminus24

ript_genesis_1399871622_full

05/12/14 Top 3 Pick; Genesis

SEGA! This detailed info-graphic of this retro console is nicely laid out. The first generation of the Genesis console is on display and not the later models. Fun fact, the Genesis is known as the Mega Drive in some parts of the world! The thin white lines on a dark background have a CAD like quality. The components are nicely organized and unified. The controllers are placed in a yin-yang format. The adapter and cables both are laid in a tall rectangular shape around the wide rectangular game cartridge. I enjoy the little labels and arrows pointed to various parts adding different layers of information. This shirt makes me want to bust out Sonic & Knuckles, Streets of Rage 2, and all the other 16-bit classics!

Thank You Melee Ninja
