Help me with a t-shirt design?

Prism · 05-11-2015, 02:01 AM

I'm going to be trying my hand at selling t-shirts, but I need opinion's... Try not to focus too much about the color differences, or the lack of artistry in the dream catchers lines, the artist can fix that to make it nicer, i was just messing with it on facebook. The left is changes I made, the right is the original design based on a design I created. Which do you prefer?

I think I like the one on the right better.

Good luck in your new venture! How exciting!

Definitely the one of the left.

I like how the words are bigger & across the tree and the dream catcher has the lines in it like a real one would. I think it makes it much clearer what the "roots" are. Also, I think the tiny words in the circle might be hard to read, especially at belly level.

Just my $0.02

Moving the words works much better for a shirt in my opinion.

I like the one on the right better. I'm more likely to buy a shirt that doesn't have words be the most dominate thing. I like the whole phrase and imagery though. So fitting for where I am right now in my life. If you do get set up could you send me your link?

I'd consider whether the words might be arranged around the tree instead of through it. It'd kind of depend on where they'd fall on the body and whether that would shrink the tree too much, but that'd be the first place I'd try...something like "Grow" above the tree, "Your" to the left of the trunk, and "Dreams" to the right of the trunk. Or all three words in an arc above the branches or below the dream catcher? (IOW, if it were me, it'd take eons of playing with it graphically to decide that seriously, both your existing choices are great...I'd never make up my mind to actually get the project off the ground. Kudos to you!)

Thanks ladies.

I have joined the appropriate subforums so when it is ready, I will post it there.

I appreciate your help!
