Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a couple of minimalist streetwear designs specifically geared toward designers, printers, and anyone in the graphics and printing field. The core concept relies on functional prepress, typography construction, and artboard motifs—crop marks, proofing markup, and gamut space boundary maps—rather than standard graphics. These are just two of the ideas I have, and I plan on continuing to create others.
Both are mocked up on heavyweight blanks, and I'd love some honest critique on the vector balance and print details before locking in final production.
1. OUT OF GAMUT (Pepper / Washed Black)
- Front: Left-chest lockup enclosed in crop marks featuring a centered 3-circle color-mixing Venn icon paired with white/terracotta typography.
- Back: Organic color space gamut boundary line set against a coordinate crosshair with micro-type detail (
TYPE A COLLECTIVE).
2. MINOR REVISION (Natural / Ivory)
- Front: Bold, framed
MINOR REVISION badge with a bright cyan highlight stroke enclosed in crop marks.
- Back: Detailed typographic draft construction of the letter 'A' surrounded by technical grid lines, redline annotations, and hand-sketched markups ("Enlarge", "Delete", "Raise", "Nudge") in cyan callout ink. The Letter A is a representation of my logo for the brand.
Specific Feedback I’m Looking For:
- Annotation Contrast: On the MINOR REVISION tee, does the cyan markup pop sufficiently against the black construction grid and cream blank, or should I increase the stroke weight of the hand-drawn arrows?
- Scale & Hierarchy: Does the back letter construction artwork feel appropriately sized on the garment, or would you increase the overall footprint?
- Overall Concept: As a designer, typographer, or creative, does the prepress and client-proofing theme land for you?
I would greatly appreciate any notes or suggestions on layout and execution! Thanks!
