T-shirt Design Brief
I would like to create photo-realistic designs for a new streetwear brand. I would like to do the imaging in a similar style to the t-shirts from the brand Enfants Riches Deprimes. Black, white and gray. Not overly crisp looking. And not cheesy with dripping letters. Something clean but kind of grungy. Think designer streetwear.
The emotion that I am trying to convey would be defiance, fighting against the odds, succeeding against the odds, doing what other people won't do, proving people wrong, being rebellious etc. Imagery that embodies the phrase "They told me I couldn't do it, so I went and did it." Something to depict the feeling of when someone doesn't believe in you so you are setting out to prove them wrong.
This is my first time using this platform but I am willing to choose more than one artist, more than one piece of art. If anyone has ideas for multiple different designs and imagery that would portray and communicate these feelings, I would love to see it all, or at least hear the ideas.
