Koi Pond

shoutOut on 1/6/08 by pixiejax in

My design influence is rooted in anything japanese/chinese
I love the simplicity, colours and general approach to life.
With this design i have incorporated a very well known visual image of the East, koi. They are swimming in a position that mirrors the ying yang sign, another major symbol of the East.
The colours i chose are vibrant and eye catching.

Hey guys – check out this posting on How T-SHirts are made to explain the shading process
and printing techniques better ;)

It should do – In silkscreen the gradients are created via pixelation in essence – so as the gradient fades out – the pixes reduce in number and are spaced out – It’s a bit hard to say until we have the finished product.

I think I will illuminate this issue with a new post :)

i will post the link in a jiffy

I love it also. I also agree with sololeo, smaller would be better. But it’s really well done. I am also intrigued with the koi fish

i love the simplicity but a smaller design would compliment the format better as the design in itself is quite strong. otherwise brillant
