The Art of T-SHIRT design.

...I've had several friends ask me in the past, if I could make them a custom design to put on a t-shirt. I'm not very good at graphic design, I thought, but was up for the challenge. Since I haven't done much graphic art work (way-back-when maybe, during my " days" of sculpting glass) I thought it would be fun to come up with a couple of simple designs, as an experiment before committing to someones request. Below are some samples of what came out during this process of delving into t-shirt design, a total art form in itself I found out (there's allot more to it than I thought when I said "yes", to the experience, believe me). Since than, got a bit hooked, and made about 20+ various designs ranging from "retro-pop" styled to "spiritually" inspired (enough for awhile). Below are some samples of the designs I made, in reference to the Chacra T-shirts. I had allot of fun in delving into the research of making them, and setting up the "funky" mock-ups ( respecting the color vibration, form, and conditions of each chacra within the design process was essential). Since than, the "Chacra Tribe" t-shirts have become available for print, to be worn by all who appreciate the designs, and would like to wear them in good health. --side note: didn't have any budget saw-bucks at the time to make some live prototypes, and model them on beautiful people, so... had to come up with the alternative 3D mock-up approach-- kinda "Burning man" look.. so I apologize upfront, for the "T-2" skeleton type manikins :)--namaste Phil
