05/31/14 Top Picks; Real Bad Things

The final season is coming up!! I have been busy re-watching previous seasons getting ready for the last. The trailers make this season look very intriguing, but I still love season 1 the best!

starCreativity – Wonderful way to portray the theme song with an iconic True Blood image.

starExecution – Looks amazing! Seductive, scary, rough, and the letter forms remain legible.

starComposition – Wonderfully bold and balanced. The contrast of the bright white fangs with the deep red drips are breath-taking.

Thank You Zerobriant (this was an insta-buy!)

05/31/14 Top Picks; Sous La Mer

starComposition – Amazing Art Nouveau style Disney princess. Ariel sits bright in the center as the various little icons of her character are nicely laid out in circular shapes radiate around her.

starColor scheme –  All the colors look amazing together. I especially like how the gradients really give the design depth. I enjoy how the green tones with the bright purple create a nice contrast.

starLines and Forms – The wonderful lines in the design really help give it an Art Nouveau appearance. I really enjoy the various thicknesses of the lines creating complexity. The forms and curve of the mermaid’s body are delicate and wavy giving her an “Under the Sea” look.

Thank You Megan Lara (also an insta-buy…. I am going to go poor buying all these shirts :P)

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Poke Fighter II

This shirt is a KO! I guess this is the next evolution of fighters. Awesome collection of mashed up characters featuring the original eight “World Warriors”: Ryu, Ken, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Chun-Li, Blanka, and E. Honda. The little figures are nicely placed together in their action pose. Each Pokémon figure nicely emulates a Street Fighter through their outfits or hair style. Blanka/Pikachu is a particular standout. Great solid bold colors and heavy bold lines. I enjoy the combination of both franchises’ fonts to create this hybrid bold block title.

Thank You Louis Wulwick

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Sailor Team

Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Sailor Moon and her fellow guardians are all here in a bold team pose. These magical teenage heroines are depicted in a simple silhouette in front of a big bright moon, almost like “Bond” girls or “Charlie’s Angels”. Their elegant bodies with long legs and arms are nicely portrayed together as a team. I love that the combination of the colorful, space-like background and the large, round moon have a nice “James Bond” opening credits quality.

Thank You Ed Woody

05/13/14 Top 3 Pick: Nosferatu Scooby

Like zoinks! The spooky and iconic Nosferatu shadow scene with a comical twist. This monotone design portrays the mysterious vampire’s shadow lurking behind two of the Mystery Machine’s members. Shaggy and Scooby seem to slink up the stair, frightened as usual with the long-nailed monster in pursuit. I enjoy the wonderful well-shaped dark silhouettes in the dim-lit scene. The simple lines and angles elegantly reveal a staircase. This design is nicely contained within a circular vignette to show the light source revealing the shadows.

Thank You Six Eyed Monster
