i HATE HATE HATE HATE that font. BASE02. IT’S EVERYWHERE I HATE IT. Use another font, and then maybe a thick vector stroke around the whole thing (when i say vector i mean, don’t just use the PS vector cause it makes curves really weird and too round and non-eye-pleasing). yeah so i hate BASE02.

lmao… wow… he’s not tryin to do anything to the site, it’s not even the site he wants opinions on :lol: He wants opinions on the design that’s going on the shirt .

Personally I’m not fond of the design at all… I actually like the solid colored one better than the others. Seems way to cluttered and forced, and too big on the shirt too.

:lol: what’s Base 02? Arial with grunge… I guess it sucks that the font is so overused that it gives ppl a bad taste for a simple font w/ grunge applied to it.

Yeah, I don’t like using fonts with pre-made effects on them. For Base02, I’d probably just use something like Swis721 Black and manually take chunks out of it with grunge brushes 😉

I’m a fan of doing it by hand, print out your text, use some different texture materials and white paint to grunge it up, then scan it back in.

Takes a little longer but hey it gives you a completely unique effect that others can’t duplicate. As far as the design goes, I would simplify it a little or just go completely crazy and expand the grunge effect over other parts of the shirt. Right now it is caught between clean and grunge since you have grunged details within a clean silhouette.

I like the color choices and swatches.
