This is my entry for the deviantWEAR music contest design.

If you like this design, you can leave a comment and once the voting has started I will contact you to kindly ask if you would like to vote for me

I like the design for the red shirt best myself, but I wanted to make some variations for people have different tastes. :D

some say the humanoid figure atop the music note is strange or weird, I think its fine, after all this site is called "Deviantart" ;) I like the grey and dark blue shirts, F.T.T. :)

Thank you so much. Somehow I apparently really needed someone to say something like this, but only when you did so I realized it.
Thanks!

Well I'm no expert, but I'll explain my reasoning. The phrase and the little guy standing atop the music note would be considered two seperate graphics. Having two separate graphics on the front of the shirt that don't directly correlate looks sort of strange. The eye will want to go from left to right when seeing your shirt, but it doesn't really have the flow to support that. If I were you I would change the font to make it flow or move around the graphics.

Thank you for explaining.
However I do think it looks fine.
And well, my relationship with how to make a certain piece of art look nice based on theories is a bit... bipolar.
On the one hand, those theories interest me, for there usually is some psychology involved and I hardly ever find that uninteresting. And sure it's not that they are untrue...
However what I question is whether they create results that are more right than the results created purely based on 'what feels/seems right'.
Perhaps I only like to turn to theories when I have a feeling something isn't right about the piece I made, but can't really figure out how to correct it.
So I will keep this in mind, but for now I think I'm just gonna let things be (also partially because I feel I would mostly mess things up if I'd go fuzzing with the design again now, I'm not that good with typography and all yet).

I think you were very creative when making the little guy, and I really like the design. Still I feel like the graphics could have been placed on the shirt in a more appealing way. Good luck in the contest! :drunk:

Thank you for the compliment of the design.
Could you further detail your criticsm though? For I have much to learn still in the area of designing (clothes) and I think I could learn something if you'd make your criticsm a bit more in debt. :D

I think the little man on the note looks a bit weird, the rest is ok.

Your comment puzzles me, for I understand that you might not like the man figure, but the part where you say 'the rest is okay' that just goes over my head.
I mean without the man figure, there isn't really anything to this design now is there? At least nothing that I view as original.

Mayhaps you don't see what the little man is doing on this shirt because you aren't familiar with the concept of yin and yang and therefore can't imagine how it all relates with art, music, creativity and inspiration.

Besides, if I'd remove him the entry would lose that which makes it original.
I mean then it would just be a note with some words. I would just be one of the many boring entries where the designer apparently never thought there would be something beyond notes and (people with) headphones. Sure, it's not like you can find a shirt that looks like that in every other store. :bleh:
Truly, I'd rather lose any contest with a design that I personally like, that I think looks original, than win with a design that bores me and feels like anyone else could have made it.
