Would love some feedback from Chinese web novel fans and/or graphic artists. What do you think of this shirt design for our employees to wear who work in the wuxia / xianxia department? I've uploaded a draft here but you can see variations of it on imgur linked below. Imgur link to variations: https://imgur.com/a/HqEHnY8
I'd wear it without the texts, maybe if it's some Kanji or random Chinese words instead, would be better imo.
without the text (both of them) and the logo too. (not sure what it says, but it looks like giving a middle finger) the big. bold and capped text takes away the focus, imho this is just minor nitpicking, but why is the horse so small? (assuming it is one) the drawing looks cool, btw.
In my opinion, the black on white style stands out and looks much cleaner then the white on black. It might just be that I have a headache right now but I’m not feeling the white on black, though it probably is more visually unique. Honestly those are just my two cents and I’m just a gd student so
I have to ask, is the silhouette holding onto a chinese dao or katana? I sort of get the blurry figure because of copyright and some other issues, but can the weapon be a little more clear? As for the text, I am fine with it. Design #3, because I am a night mode elitist and 武 sounds cooler than 仙 and 武侠. Fyi, the circle is only good for 1 word, so #2 and #5 cannot work. The word 仙 feels like I am joining a cult...
it looks to me like a warrior rider a horse. or a wolf. otherwise what is that that's bulging in front of the character? an erection?
Can you remove wuxia fantasy merchs? since it's for employees you need to put the name? Maybe put the large name at the back then smaller letters at the front. I prefer the white shirt if i was given the option to choose.
The variations are barely noticable. You could have just asked whether people liked the white/black better. Are these shirts planning to be sold or given away? People usually don't buy merchandise unless they strongly support the company/website, let alone shirts that don't look that good. There are too many focuses on a single shirt, do you want to emphasize the image/text/chinese?
Yes, character is holding two Chinese great sword, Dadao. Left hand is pulling a sword half out of a scabbard while the right hand is holding an unsheathed sword.
Ha-ha. That's not a horse. It's part of his outfit and the equipment. Thank you for pointing out that confusion.
Try unblocksite.org? https://us1.unblocksite.org/u/oaut09ZsaF-a0Zil04-TpqFkkmCtpXV-0otx Not sold. The shirts will be given to employees to wear at work and handed out at events. I wanted to see what fans of wuxia / xianxia thought of it overall before we print them.
It’s not bad. For work either shirt will work, maybe black if the area you work in is more humid because... sweat stains on white looks worse than on black.
NerdChina is the name. I might change the phrase below to "Wuxia Fantasy Worlds". Plural for the different universes the stories take place. Maybe I'll place the "Wuxia Fantasy ________" on the back! Good idea. Ty
i feel like the wording stands out more than the art itself, and also the wording vertically feels hard for me to read.... overall the art is good tho.
