Louise Carver

Words by the designer:

In this shirt… I deep-etched a photo of Louise Carver. I searched a few images but found that this was, in my opinion, the best. She looks elegant and seductive in this photo. My next step was to to use a “sumi-e” effect on photoshop to strengthen the contrast and create a textured image. I inserted the moon with a glow (for the “saved by the moonlight” integration of the cd), as well as creating a vector tree for an African feel (she said the song “home” was written whilst in London about the greatness of South Africa).

I had a little trouble with deciding on the outcome of this design as I originally had a blue shirt in mind, but it also landed up looking good on brown, black, grey and even yellow and pink XD i hear brown and pink are her favourite colours…
