I was really excited when W+K Studio agreed to set up an exclusive coupon with us. I only heard of them recently, and was blown away upon clicking through to their store. Their t-shirt line is apparently a spin-off of their worldwide advertising design firm, and the expertise shows: these tees are good.
My favorite shirts from W+K are the type tees. These shirts are kind of Threadless-style in that they use graphics and custom type faces to enhance the slogan. “Deep Down Inside, We All Love Math” is the best of these — the geometric letters, combined with variables, equations, and other bits from your high school math book, form a very solid concept and design. The slogan itself is a lot of fun by itself, and I can see this shirt becoming a hit amongst the geek crowd. Not quite sure if we all love math deep down inside, though — I nearly cried with joy when I realized I would not have to take any more math courses for the rest of my life.
“Good Artists Steal” is a very interesting slogan, especially coming from a design firm’s t-shirt line. Those of us who have made art a part of our lives know that it’s been ingrained in us, from day one, that stealing = bad. However, this design was not meant to be ironic — the product description says that the slogan is a “genuine statement.” I suspect they’re trying to say that learning from the masters is important, as I can’t see professional designers endorsing flat-out ripping!
Of W+K’s graphic tees, “Somewhere Out There” is my favorite. It combines type with a rather stunning portrait of the elusive Bigfoot. I pretty much love everything about this shirt — the simple one-color print, the natural yellow tee, the detailed linework, the careful shading, and the way the words are integrated into Bigfoot’s hair. (The blank’s also organic, for those of you who like living green!)
