AntiClothes - Splattered Eagle

The design of the Splattered Eagle shirt I did for Bryan over at AntiClothes was meant to expand the brand into a more stylized realm, rather than text-based or humor-based tees. The splatters surrounding the eagle were meant to contrast with the comparatively smooth form and profile birds have, really gripping the viewers attention and (hopefully) forcing them to investigate further.

Production of the shirt was actually more simple than it may seem. Creating brushes and patterns using Photoshop and Illustrator (here’s a tutorial on how), as well as using brushes I have gotten amongst the web for free really helped in creating this design. One thing I love about the ready availability of brushes for Illustrator is how it allows the designer to focus on the design rather than preparations for the design; though some may argue creating brushes is a more authentic process. I’m not sure I disagree either, since I make all my brushes in Photoshop myself.
