| I recently started designing t-shirts aimed at gamers. It's not art, more like graphic design. I uploaded the designs to a Print on Demand (POD) service. Sales so far are zero (which is what I was expecting) but the main movitation was to improve my design skills. Here are mockups of some of the designs: https://postimg.cc/KkLKJkxd What I would love to hear from anyone (especially gamers) is: Are these designs any good or likeable? Or something you would never wear? The game controllers are not meant to imitate actual game controllers (e.g. Xbox) but are a stylized interpretation. But I wonder if gamers prefer a copy of their favourite console controller instead of something more generic or abstract? And for those interested in more detail...here's what I've learned so far designing t-shirts: - Keep it simple: A design that is easy to understand and be seen from a distance can work well. - Choice of type matters: This makes a big difference. I haven't mastered this by a long shot. Still learning and practising. - Colour is important: finding a pleasant-looking combination of appealing colours is really hard. Fun fact: The design with the wording 'Ready to play' was rejected by the POD service. I later discovered it was because it is a trademarked phrase! |
