This is a terrible idea

November 3, 2020

How skilled a designer do you have to be to make a drawing and sell it on a t-shirt?

Have a look at this ridiculous design that I made a few weeks ago:

Terrible, terrible idea. Tell me more.

The idea is key. I thought about a sly cat and drew the simplest version that I could think of:

  • I used only one color.
  • The cat doesn’t even have whiskers but it’s still clear that it’s a cat.
  • Actually, it’s not even the whole cat, just the head!

Now for the text — this is always the difficult part. I try to choose something that adds a story to the design. Here, the cat hears an idea and likes it very much, even though it’s going to end up in trouble.
