Behold, My Design!


After doing some sketches and figuring out which
texts goes well with what graphics, I've finally chosen
the text " Vegans Kick Butts" with a little "kicking in action vegetable" which are beetroots. And a heart shape dangling below the letter S from the word "Butts".
With green and black text with a gist of yellow glow inside. Here is my design. I am proud of it and can't wait to see how it will turnout to be when it is printed on a white t-shirt. I will be presenting this in class.

What About Texts and Graphics?

I've almost forgotten on the texts and graphics. What's a t-shirt without any text or art on it, right?
You'll get a dull one that's for sure. So, I've also done some searching online for some interesting texts or quotes to be displayed on my t-shirt. Here are some texts or perhaps, quote that I find convincing:
- " The Perfect Vegan"
- " I'm 110% Vegan 10% Chocolate"
- " Veganista Baby"
- " Vegans Kicks Butt"
- " The Straight Edge Vegan"
- " The Hardcore Spinach-eater"
- " Behold! I've got Carrots!"
- " Let's Get Laid in Viva Las Vegans!"
- " Not Vegan, No Sex"

and the list goes on...

About graphics, should I use vegetables as an icon? Or should i use human figure acts eating their greens? Should they be cartoonized? These are the things that comes to mind. Hopefully, the perfect texts and graphics will eventually pop out from my imagination.

the SEARCH for ideas ideas ideas!

An ideal t-shirt for a person would be a design with interesting graphics on them, but not too much and not too crumpled. A few texts, but not too wordy. And colors that are not too bright or too dull. But, vibrant color pallets. As my main target is to cater to young teenagers like myself. Since it is all about vegetables and fruits. I've decided to go for vegetables. These are the three main things that I apply when search for some ideas online. Surprisingly, I've found quite a lot of interesting, quirky yet catchy ones. Here are some interesting ones that I've found.

Designing My Own Customized T-Shirt

I've given a task in the past week to design my own t-shirt. This will eventually be my first time designing one as I have never even come near into trying to make one. The main purpose of this task is to encourage or to persuade us to eat vegetables and fruits through t-shirts. Yes, vegetables and fruits. Overwhelming. I've been to various types of clothing stores, especially t-shirts with many interesting themes and messages on them. But I've never come across one with vegetables and fruits on them. This is my opportunity to design one. At least, to show and share with my colleagues and lecture in the following week.
