Did this as a promotional t-shirt for a photographer friend of mine. We’ll be printing it two color on either a black or dark gray shirt, possibly with a very small tagline or URL on the back. It’s fairly final but I’m doing some tweaking, I’d love to hear some feedback and crits either way. Thanks.

Combines current tropes of Bantjesism, broken scripts, and floating, apparently solid type.

I love the design but do have a few minor suggestions:

The kerning between the “P” and “A” of “passion” is too loose. Same with the “e” and “a” of real. And I might tighten up the front end of “emotion” too.

The graphic at the lower left corner feels a bit heavy to me. It throws off the balance. Perhaps if that particular graphic was a bit transparent (lighter) the balance would seem better.

Again, these are minor. You did a great job with it.

Now that you mention it the kerning between “P” and “A” is killin’ me :) Good call on the others too, appreciate the feedback. The top splatter mark was originally a little more solid which I think balanced the overall design with the bottom graphic a bit better. I’ll take a look and do a bit of tweaking.

Thanks for the comments guys, though I don’t know that Joe is much of a fan...ah well ;)
