A few variations... Keep in mind that the app I use has not figured out the formula for curved text yet, so it's definitely not perfect on that aspect. #1 ------------------------------ #2 ------------------------------ #3
The bottom text was hard to read because it has a slight black outline... Which I changed in the subsequent designs...
In my opinion (and only because the way the app did it) the curved text looks a bit weird because of the spacing. I think a co pretentious artist could fix that (I might ask my friend to give me both options since the main art would still be the same)... I personally like the straight text version too.
What's next Dennis... How's his hair looking? It's just never good enough for you! First it's the "n" in Mulch, now the "h" in Yehaa. It never ends. . Anyway, here are the corrected versions (obviously not too different). I'm still liking the flat text rather than curved, but that's just my opinion. 1) 2) 3)
I like #1, but #3 would be good if we could get the letters on the bottom lined up better (and I know you're doing your best). Doesn't Photoshop have some sort of "follow the curve" feature in the text tool? And if you think I'm bad with the shirts, you should see my comments on the planning board when I proofread the Pixelmania brochures.
Lining up the letters on the bottom will be done by my friend when he does the actual artwork. Remember, this is just a rough mockup of what I was thinking. The actual art will be in the comicbook style that the Mulch and "Grande Fiesta" tees were in.
My thought on this is that if we are "turning" the design over to Bob to sell on his site (at his discretion to use or not use) then I think my version is too rough and not "professional" enough. If we were only using this as our group's "shirt of the day" then I'd say it's fine. But again, depends on the end user of the design. Secondly, I only have my iPad applications to use and that limits the design a bit overall (all flat text versus any curved)...
So after talking with my "art guy" at comicon in March he finally threw together a rough sketch. It doesn't quite look like Bob but that will be cleaned up if we go that route. Again, my thought is that if we are going to "deed the art" to Bob to use at his discretion I think it should be professionally done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
So then you'd be in agreement to go with the professionally done version and then we "deed" the design to Bob? Just want to get that "confirmation of opinion" from a few fellow maniacs prior to proceeding...
