T-shirt designs for Wave Project's Surf Challenge in June. These guys run a wicked surf therapy charity, based down in Newquay, well worth checking out if you've got a bit of spare time..

I need some help deciding which design to go with, both still need a bit of tweaking.. im swaying towards the first one, but then i do like purple and dislike anything that looks photoshopped. Feedback would be lovely!

  1. I like the first one better. Just looks more adventurous and exciting.

  2. i prefer the second as the first seems very airy and fluffy and that is not how i see surfing - thinking of the hokusai wave painting with the fingers, i suppose i see waves like that, very defined and powerful, especially if this is a surf competition where people think they're well hard and daring not prancing around on fluffy clouds. although if you do prefer the first i would change the purple, maybe use it as a darker accent on more blue/turquoise because without reading the "surf challenge" part i thought it was a design for an old lady's earrings or something. also i'm not sure why either of them have got trees in them but i suppose you're not changing that.

    love from someone who knows little about art but is very opinionated on everything xxx

  3. Hi Emily,

    Looks great. I prefer the second one- I think that’s partly because there’s more of a background and also because the colours conjure up the beach more to me than the first one. I think the turquoise works really well with the dulled yellows/browns. I can’t say I saw any trees in it! To me it comes across as seaweed, pebbles, bubbles...general beach. I don’t think it looks overly photoshoped and I think the second one would look good as a final image without any tweaks. Hope that's helpful. Good to see you’re still illustrating- have you how’ve you found it trying to get freelance work?
