Words by the designer:

The idea of money coming into a township like Soweto at a very fast rate is the idea represented in this design. It is my reaction to the phrase ‘Township Bling’.

In retrospect I think the front of the train disturbs me somehow. It seems to lack vital detail. Maybe a blinging dollar sign.if we were to talk about the frain having a face, I would say it lacks a nose and mouth. Lol!

Yeah! I dig it too, although have to agree that the colour choices are’t the best. I dig it when the designers use some text and then graphics to further imply the text to follow. It makes for a good mix and contrast with scope for good graphic variety in the design

Hey I like it. agree with @amyabrahams though- the colour choices aren’t my favourites.

I know its a Soweto train, but i would have loved to see a bigazz embossed dollar sign on the front for extra blingaliciousness ;)

Yeah if it had more of a vintage vibe to it this design would have rocked!

I’d def tone down the blue though

I think it looks too flashy – too plastic, too commercial…with a more grunged down look, this tee would’ve rocked!

Also, I’d prefer it on black or melange

Aah dig it! This is rad the only thing I don’t like is the colour choices…I would have liked this better if it had a distressed look as well – vintage vibes :)

I think if you toned down the harshness of the yellow and blue it buy this ;)
