I just got this in the mail today and I’m happy with this tee. Designer Sam Kaufman heads the company Lead & Light(http://www.leadandlight.org/). The shirt designs are amazing one color designs that has great detail. The textures he adds to the designs just make it pop even more. I’ve been a fan of this tee since it came out in the winter or early spring. The tee entitled “Vibrations” is $15 and shipping costs $4, plus I assume the state sales tax(which will vary depending on where you live). The shirts are hand printed, it didn’t matter to me but maybe to others it will. The print came out looking good. Check out the shirts, some of the designs aren’t so complex. It’s printed on American Apparel and it arrived pretty quick. I like it and if you want you can get the zip up hoodie. I’m a fan for sure.

Companies rebrand themselves every couple of years and I think to brand myself as a more serious designer(not that I’m saying that I am not, which I am) I should showcase my designs in a more professional site. I liked how my current site is simple and firmly believe that the designs are what’s important, I feel there are ways where you can improve on it. It is crucial that any website has to be easy to navigate, but if you can add some flare it doesn’t hurt. When it comes to targeting a client, you want to have designs that will jump out and speak to them, so it is important to have the perfect examples for them. Before you can have the client go cocoa for cocoa puffs over your work, the presentation must be there from the start. I believe that when my new portfolio site is up, I will be able to gain more people to view my site(of course marketing is needed) and be able to look and read about all the work I’ve created.
This is a very interesting design that is available exclusively at Ript Apparel for one day for only $10. This is a funny design, that I like. Who will wing King Kong or Bruce Lee? The angles of the two main characters are odd and bothers me. Also it seems that the gorilla referenced is very similar to Mateus Santolouco’s image. The concept is funny and if you want to own then you should pick it up, before it is gone. The design is created by Montreal native Sidoneon. You can view more of his art here: http://sidoneon.deviantart.com

Media Militia has brought you 20 free great splatter images. I love these splatters and have tried to incorporate the images as best as I can in certain designs when needed. I’ve been influenced from such as art from Laura Alejo where I posted a Nike Ad http://joebarondesign.blogspot.com/2009/02/inspiration-nike-ads-by-laura-alejo.html Now I’ve seen iStockphoto.com have some, but these are more and free.
