Hey, Cool Shirt: Designing Effective T-shirt Graphics

Yeah, JC has already done a back to the future design, but this is an interesting take. Although it's one of the most important elements in the movie It's definitely an element that isn't as well known or easily recognized to a non enthusiast. I think it might be trying to do too much in the design and might need some more context. Something more recognizable would be the Delorian but maybe you turn it into a delivery truck, as JC plays off old delivery vans a lot in their designs.

Hey Ian, love the sketches but I just wanted to give you a heads up that JC already did a few "Back to the Future" themed tees. I couldn't find the exact designs, but you can see one of them on the blog http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/blog/2009/01/back-to-the-future-review/

If you do keep with this theme make sure to find out what the other design was so you can do something really unique with the movie!

Thanks, man. I'm ok with that. I still think my idea kicks ass...

A bit more definition to your project will help you figure that out. 

1985 &gt;&gt;&gt;1955&gt;&gt;&gt;1985&gt;&gt;&gt;2013.
The one constant in my life has always been pop culture and movies. Back To The Future was a story about possibility and how chain of events can change history, effecting everyone and everything. Art does this too... It tells us anything is possible.
I want to adapt an icon or theme from the movie into a concept that will blow minds, 1.21 gigawatts at a time.

The direction I'm going, fleshed out a bit more.
