03/25/14 Top 3 Pick; Come On, Mr. Bubbles!

Would you kindly check out this design? This scene depicts a rare moment of tenderness in Rapture between a Big Daddy and his Little Sister. Don’t get between this odd couple or you’ll be swimming with the fishes, literally! The nice elongated design portrays deep submersion. Simple gradation of teal tones on a dark blue background gives it an underwater feel. I enjoy the touch of yellow in the center of the design. The yellow leads the eye straight to the center first, then around and back to the center. The characters are skillfully shaped out of the negative space.

Thank You filiskun

Wonderful mash up of two series known for their anti-heroes. The black and white composition of the design conveys a theme of right and wrong which is prevalent in both franchises. The wonderful dynamic angle in the composition makes the figures appear larger than life. The grouping of the figures set in formation shows hierarchy. The typographic treatment is on point, conveying the dark graphic novel style.

Thank You Punksthetic

03/25/14 Top 3 Pick; B is for Blood Sugar

I guess that sweet tooth finally came back to haunt Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster! If the letter of the day is B, then the number must be 3 because this is in my top 3! Hilarious shirt design. Using simple flat colors, Cookie Monster’s face is rendered in complete horror. His hands up and fingers spread apart convey a sense of terror. The Count’s hands seem to gently wrap around Cookie Monster, caressing him as he sucks his blood.

Wonderful mash-up of clever villains. The God of Mischief looks well in the Joker makeup. The amount of detail on the figure’s face really portrays the artist’s intent to combine both characters. If the actor, Tom Hiddleston, actually put on Joker makeup, this is exactly what he would look like. The high shine, sleek effect given to Loki’s head dress is MARVELous on black.  The stark white, disembodied head looks intriguing and ominous.

Awesome use of the glow in the dark gimmick. The concept of changing and the contrast of light and dark work well for the subject matter. The lights on version of Walter White portrays him broken and disintegrating on the blue meth crystals. The lights off version portrays Heisenberg,  the shady dark side of the the alter ego of this character. The metamorphous of the shirt nicely mirrors the change in the character in the show.

Today must be a “I Love black shirts with a disembodied head” day.

The king of the grim and macabre is strikingly shaded using light tones on a dark background. I enjoy the treatment of  the highlights in the figure’s hair. It looks shiny and well groomed. The light tones on the forehead create a gravitational pull towards the eyes. The placement of the text near his enthralling eyes, creates movement from figure to text.

Thank You ShasteenFrey
