That looks awesome! That's a sweet shirt, I wanna join your art club now. I like white too. I can't quite figure out why, but I think the design looks better on the white backround.

Red? Nah, personally, I'd go white, simply because it would be better for summer then black would.

Heheh wanna move?

Unfortunately common sense isn't common in the arts, least not where I'm from.

[cena-rules]

black it seems to be like neon

can I order one?

the fonts/wrting doesnt fit in with the design,
maybe try doing a beveled layer style on the font and maybe a drop shadow, just a thought,
-
and the red glow really doesnt make it look good, i think that that makes it look bad
-
EDIT:
and the thing at the bottom with the people is way too pixely

While brainstorming I thought I should base the design on the basics: figure drawing. So I looked through the art department's fileserver and found a bunch of good gestures and figures from months ago, photoshopped them together and made a collage. Someone suggested color and I felt spontaneous/lazy so I took all the gesture layers and maxed out the saturation, going with whatever hue came out of each (I started out with the black version so these drawings already had inverted colors). I made two versions, white and black, and my problem is everyone likes the black.
I don't know, maybe I just have weird taste but the white looks more sophisticated to me. So I'm asking you guys in all your endless taste and style, which do you prefer? (I'm posting the backsides to each, where the names of everyone in the club will go in columns). Ignore my loud name all over the place.

ALSO I'd like to know, if I posted these designs without the text on a site like Zazzle, do you think they'd make a sale or two?

Serious questions:
What do you want to say? (eg. I'm cool, I'm creative, I'm 'out there', I'm me etc etc)
What impression do you want to create? (eg. Look at this, Look at me, Look like me, Be like me etc etc)
Do you see this as a potential product? In which case who are you trying to attract?
Is this creative process (for which I applaud you) purely for the wonder of creating?
Any other information to guide me that you can think of?

I ask this as I have just a tad of knowledge of putting these things out there. I always try to direct the creativity of artists as I am their opposite, the classic 'Manager' who directs but ever interferes.

You may ignore these questions should you wish, thank you for your time in reading this.

Heheh I should probably ask myself those questions more often.
This is kind of an end of the year shirt, so I just want to say that we existed, worked hard, and made some cool stuff. Which I'm exhibiting, so I guess I want to leave the "look at this" impression. As a product I'd like to attract creative people in general, I want it to be a piece of design. The creative process, well I only made it because our club needs a shirt but yeah that would be a nice impression to make, that we just do it because we enjoy creating.

As I might have mentioned before, I thought the best way to summarize our club this year would be to glorify our gesture drawings, which our teacher made us do over and over again in different time limits and techniques for the first few months.

So in sumary: We are here, we are cool, we are creative.

Got to be the white. You are correct about the sophistication. White wear, such as this, sells to females far more readily than black, that colour tends to sell to male.

[Hologram]

For sophisticatedness, the white is definitely better.

But the black one is pretty fucking cool.

So I would go with majority rule. Or let each person pick black or white.

woot.
It probably will be majority rule, as I mentioned that each person could pick and choose but my teacher wants it all to be unified, which I understand.

Here's why I like the black... b/c the smaller figures stand out more with the vivid contrast and aren't overborn by the large torso and particularly the elbow and forearm. On the white version, that muddies out the detail of the smaller figures. I think if you dropped that sketch from the composition, or even moved it down so that the names will overlay just the large figure, I'd like the white more.
