Seattle based design firm Invisible Creature recently dropped a few tees using elements based around their name and influences. If you aren’t familiar with them by name you may by their huge catalog of album design work. Hop over to the their site and i’m willing to bet they’ve designed something you’ve seen before. Anyway, on to the tee:
“The Creature” is basically a logo tee using their mummy head logo as a front print and some big type on the back pumping up their IC name further. Both sides of the shirt are 2 colors and the combo on black creates a really nice effect from front to back. The print seems to be a mix of plastisol and discharge (or possibly water-based) ink. The off white areas are super soft and have no touch at all and the green areas have a bit of plastisol feeling hand to them. I wonder if it were possible to create a completely soft hand garment seeing as how there are only 2 colors? Perhaps plastisol was used to keep color accuracy though and in the end the amount of ink thickness is still fairly light.
All of their tees are printed on American Apparel and feature 2 sewn on labels. A large sewn in neck label and a sewn on sleeve label. I found the placement of the sleeve label a bit odd as when worn it ends up more towards the ‘front’ of your arm as opposed to the side where most sleeve labels usually end up. Here’s a pic showing what i mean:
I suppose it’s your call on how weird you find that. Both labels add a nice touch either way. They recently dropped all their tee prices to $25.00 from the original $30.00 so if you’re digging it nows the time!
VERDICT: 4 out of 5
