Design Something Every Day – Day 3

Today’s design is the beginning of what I hope will be a theme that I can follow for a while – T-shirt designs. I’m a big fan of internet and gaming humour t-shirts and have spent quite a lot of money at Split Reason over the last year or so. One of the great things about the site is that you can submit an idea for a t-shirt, and if they like it it might end up being sold on the site. There’s no guarantee that it’ll happen, but it’s a great way to get people involved and there’s always been that thought in the back of my head saying what if…

So now I’m going to make some t-shirt designs! I doubt I’ll submit any of them to Split Reason, but there’s always the chance that I really love one of the designs I make.

Anyways, here’s today’s effort. It’s a nice and simple attempt to start off. An image and some text on a plain background. I’m not too sure on the text, I think something a bit more exciting could be done with it but I’m at a loss right now what that might be. The design was made using a combo of Photoshop and Illustrator. I cropped out the head of the cat in Photoshop using the Magentic Lasso, and then vectorised the image in Illustrator. A very easy attempt to start.

Here we can see a cat. He’s done something hilarious and he knows it. What did he do? I’ve got no idea. Why did he do it? For the lulz, of course. It’s always for the lulz.

John Robinson - designer, developer, coder... John’s not quite sure exactly how he should be labelled. Why not check out his blog and make a decision for yourself. He mostly talks about CSS, jQuery and the crazy world of the Interwebs, with a little bit of personal life thrown in for good measure.
