I'm happy with this, but I would love to take it to the next level.
It is a t shirt design for a Pinball tournament called "Pinferno". Comments and Critiques welcome.
Thanks, ibye

Could do with some kind of thin black stroke details around the letters, for clarity and accentuation. Maybe play with making it a little less exactly mirrored?

apply it to a t-shirt. then post the image.

Thanks Naim, the black stroke could help it and although I like the symmetry of it, I see your point.

Here is the T Design

I wouldn't see that in a store and be drawn to it. As an event shirt it a lot better than most other shirts I've seen.

It's really thought out, actually. I think I like it. The color palette could use some work, for sure, and the nyc feels out of place too. But overall, it's nice.

Thanks guys. As far as the color palette , any suggestions?
- baseline_shift0
Dig it. colors are simple, solid.
IMO, the graphic should be slightly smaller, and positioned a bit higher on the tee. But otherwise, nice.

Thanks b_shift, good call on the size/placement.
- ibye0
How is the placement/size now?

I could be retarded, but what is the circle at the top? It looks unrefined I think, cause I can't make out what it's supposed to be.

Its a pinball. The shapes in it are supposed to represent simplified shine/glare.
- But it looks like a smiley face.boobs
- it looks finemonospaced

hmm, I hadn't read it as a smiley face until you said that boobs, but I do see it now.

where'd it go?

it does look like a smiley Acieeeeed face thats had one too many acids lol.
i wouldnt wear it, but it is a nice illustration.
i agree with the points about the colour palette
why not try grabbing some nice palette suggestions from
http://www.colourlovers.com/pale…good place to quickly palettes that work together.
i think the thing i dont like about the design n colours is that its quite a 'dark' illustration - but the colours are really bright.
maybe if it was darker colours, warm and dark greys on a black tshirt.
or try going to complete opposites - a 'dark' illustration style but use muted pastel colours rather than full on primary colours.

what about doing it in silver foil inks or whatever its called on tshirts
if anything says "pinball" its silvery chrome-ness

I dig it! How about making the ball that red? That way it stands out more? Or Make the circle around the ball red and the top flames red like the rest?

I posted a few options, which if any are you guys leaning to.
Thanks.

Im leanin towards 2. I like the white.
I think the stuff above the pinball should be red.
- I love the white, it makes it much more readable.ambermiro

b_shift, I tried the combo you suggested and I dig it.
