Rated "C" For Candy

In honor of Halloween, I've decided to put all my derby #13 designs up now, while it's still timely. First, however, a word from our sponsors: I've submitted my designs to the inimitable "best losers" site, in hopes of keeping some light on them, and also getting a little more exposure for this still-humble blog. In return, in case you stumbled upon my blog outside of woot, or are a member who HASN'T seen the site, there is a link to it on this page. It's a great resource for some excellent shirt designs and designers who just weren't excellent enough each week. Check it out at www.bestlosers.com

Now, back to our regularly scheduled blog. Tonight's feature, a little ditty called "rated c for candy". I'm not normally big on text designs, mostly because I grew up in the era of "can't sleep, clowns will eat me" and "you're just jealous because the voices talk to me." Uninspired text with an uninspired design, if there is indeed a design at all. Yet I made one. What I liked about this conceptually when it was born inside my head is this: It was more than just the words. It has a simple design element, but a definite one all the same. The design needed text, and the text needed the design... lots of text designs rely on the text itself to sell the shirt, or, barring that, add unnecessary text to an otherwise passable shirt. Not to sound cocky, but I liked this design because I felt the text was appropriate and tasteful. If you felt the same, please do tell... that's what the blog is for!
