Responsive: Nine T-Shirt Designs

Several websites offer to opportunity for creatives to upload and profit from their t-shirt designs. Viewers of the websites vote on their favourite designs, and elect an over-all winner, which is then distributed, offering a low cut of profits to the original designer.

Typical winners often involve gratuitous popular culture regurgitation. As I am cynical, I made a few of my own regurgitations based on cultural references.
Thus, the audience are mostly 12-30 year old video-game fanatics of male orientation. That is not to suggest I have developed the designs particularly to appeal to men, although the characters I have drawn are indeed male. Hopefully the designs are satisfying to both genders... although I feel as though the references they make limit the age range.

Although I would argue that the designs I created were all designs I would be happy to wear on a t-shirt, even if I rarely wear t-shirts.

All bar one of the designs are bold black and white designs, thus making the process of production far quicker, it will also allow me to use the designs as positives if I wish to produce screen print or my shirts for personal distribution.
