Curiosity in Shirt Design





Inconvenient inspiration strikes again! I entertained the ambition of creating a shirt design for one of Woot.com's derby entries a couple of weeks ago. The theme was "Hearts", for obvious February reasons, and there was a disturbing amount of overly cheesy submissions. So, I set out to create an end-of-the-world dating scenario... because everyone loves those, right?

I hadn't tried designing a shirt before and it reintroduced me to how valuable negative space can be.

Perhaps someday this will be a shirt. Until then, I'm turning it into an animation of some sort.

I've also decided that instead of February 14th being Valentine's Day, from here on out, I will acknowledge that date only as Oregon's birthday. It seems more relevant that way.

That's a Great Shirt Athena,
if I had a girl friend I'd have totally bought one of these from you.
