So, I'm currently making a graphic that'll go on the shirt I'm wearing to Thorpe park on BronyScream. I was just wonderin', what do you think of it so far? It's pretty early on, and there's a bit more I want to do with it. I'm gonna sort out the positions, and probably resize some of the text... Any ideas or feedback please? Thanks
I K, R? :Trollestia: Thanks Oh, that's just a 'lil date of upness. I've resized things, repositioned things, put things on different layers... But most distinctively, I've put "It needs to be about... Twenty Percent cooler!""... In ten seconds flat!" above all of the things. I might put a rainboom in the background. It so simple! Any suggestions on things to add/change? I'm about as creative as... I couldn't think of a simile.
Well, you asked for an honest critique, and when I give an honest critique, I don't sugarcoat my opinion. However this is only my opinion, so feel free to disregard if you disagree. 1. It looks much too busy. However I might be biased since I'm a fan of simple designs, and the design you have there seems intentionally busy so there's nothing I can really suggest without radical change in design. Adding a sonic rainboom or some other background would only increase the business and detract from the visual impact of the whole. 2. Most of the phrases are unreadable, except for the "20% cooler in ten seconds flat" phrases, the rest are but fragments. Meaning people would have to stop and study the image to see the message, and reduces the visual impact of the design. Here now we're going back to the "too busy" thing. 3. Twenty percent cooler and ten seconds flat have been done before, many, many times over; both separately and together, and I personally favor either one or the other. Although it's hard to have a shirt composed of RBD's most popular quotes without both, so you got me there. Personally, I wouldn't wear it. I also can't really suggest anything that wouldn't radically change the design. Although if only you intend to wear it, then I suppose it only really matters whether or not you like it. So feel free to take my two cents with a grain of salt.
This. If you colored the words in some interesting manner, and possibly made them less readable, this would actually make it better.
The resolution might concern me, but otherwise it's pretty darn awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product!
I like the design, but as said before, it is pretty busy. Maybe just 3 or 4 at the most will do, but reposition them. I also agree that a black or a dark-colour shirt will be the best. I would like to get it and help a fellow EP brony, but it needs to be repositioned and maybe use a few different changes like text color and shirt size.
Nice, maybe put the quote in the forground in a different color so it stands out. Maybe in the color of RD's eye.
