Cat on sill
This started as a Mondrian knock-off, but I couldn’t bring myself to stay with the primary colors.... I hope you'll like how it turned out. Placement is “medium-low”, and shifted right as far as wootably possible.
I like cats, what can I say?
Thanks Cho, for sharing the wrinkly shirt template.

I really like that you did something different with the style. My two critiques - not sure about the brown colour you chose for the lines. Looks like it might get lost in the shirt colour. I think I'd also like it better without the pixel-distress.
I like it anyway though. ![]()

Thanks eHal. The thing with the brown shirt is that it's really dark -- so dark that black has a hard time showing up at all. A lighter brown should show up fine, but it's not a big deal (for this design anyhow) if not so much. I almost left them shirt color.

Yeah, I know about the black-brown problem.
I was going to suggest letting the shirt colour show through but then you would lose the extra line extrusions.
Well, again, I really appreciate how you took the mondrian-esque design in a different design. Good luck, sir. It doesn't look like this particular design is going anywhere, but I'll still be looking forward to your different and artistic approaches to design!

Ha, that's funny. I missed that in the slogan derby.
You're right -- this one's got no traction, though it's early. It could still finish in the top 100.
Other ideas are starting to come, but I think I'll resist. I do like to experiment with different styles, and am seriously having trouble doing that with 5120 pixels.... Could go back to trying the primary colors thing for this, but there are a few "Mondrians" already....
