For Typography II, we had to come up with hand-lettered phrases to put on T-shirts. I instantly gravitated towards making up some bad band names and throwing them on shirts. I immediately got to work and started sketching some ideas:

I picked the best sketches of the three and cleaned them up, and threw them onto T-shirt mockups.

I even ended up screenprinting the “CRISP RATT” design onto an actual T-shirt, and a ton of people wanted them! I ended up printing around 20 of them, so that design was a hit. I also thought the “Gallium” design ended up looking like the Gorrilaz logo as well, and I printed a few of those as well!

I got a ton of practice on working with hand lettering and making some cool band logos and I think I did really, really well with this one!
