Description For the Musically Inspired T-Shirt Design Challenge (unoriginal title is unoriginal). First time I'm doing something like this. I had a better idea (anyway, I think it was a better idea) but I ended up not doing that because I lacked the skill I needed, so I just doodled this instead, today. *le fail* Anyway, pencil sketch, inked with a 0.5 ink pen, adjusted in Photoshop. I just did a lot of lines because that's the feeling I get when I listen to music - something that flows on and on and just gets mashed up in my head. And I like vinyls. I'm nuts about listening to music on vinyls. When I turned 17 or 18, my mom bought me a new pick-up because I had all these records and nothing to play them on. It makes me feel content, every time I use it; it's like a little ritual I perform to calm myself down.

Going for a jog now. XD

I can’t help it but say; this is 21. Century style! Those Black β€˜n White prints are very popular at the moment. And also I find your design…well how do I say that? It makes me feel happy/in a good mood! Nicely done! You’ve got a cool drawing style.
Looked and voted!
Good luck in the contest!

If you have a bit of time, could you give me some advice on my designs? [link]

Looks very time consuming, but came out great! Some say real music must be heard on vinyls!

Any advices on mine? [link]

NarcolepticGravity In reply to YCL101 [2012-07-07 05:54:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I wouldn't go as far as calling it "real music", although I suppose I get what they mean when they say that. It's just that nowadays any song on any album or EP is simply one button away, but when you listen to a record, you can't just skip to whatever song you want that easily and you gotta put time into preparing and placing the disc in the player, etc; I think all that's really nice, I think it's an important process. Plus, I like the sound you get by playing a vinyl. I'm all for HD music, don't get me wrong, but there's something heartwarming about hearing the little crinkle of a vinyl in a record player. :3

I don't really have any advice to give on your piece, really, this is my first time entering a design contest on dA, so I'm as inexperienced as they get. I think it looks nice and balanced, it's visually pleasing and aesthetic; and I especially like the back piece. I would've probably placed the front drawing more in the center of the T-Shirt, meaning a bit lower than the way it is now, but that's really just me. Black T-Shirts tend to lose color with washing, so when one of my black T-Shirts gets all used and grey, I cut its neck and sleeves to make it like a grunge sleeveless top or something, so then if the drawing on the T-Shirt is more centered, then I don't have to cut off it. But, again, that's just a little something I do.

Good luck!

Yes, i agree that the process to play music on record players is an important process to listen to vinyls. Though i've never one through the process, i look it like cooking and eating (for my simple mind to grasp lol), cooking is an art needed to enjoy the result of the skill

You sure dont give advice like you're inexperienced! lol, thanks so much! I was battling with myself if i should lower it alil lol.

Good luck to you too!

Hehe, all in all, I think that just entering a contest helps you evolve and get better. So kudos to us both, lol. XD When I look at my submission now, there's a lot I would change. But I can always keep those ideas for the next competition. XD
