I thought the designs looked great. No they aren't mine. Target doesn't design the shirts. They buy the shirts from people that design them and print them. You guys don't screenprint shirts....so don't expect Target to come to you. To suggest this, in your blog, showed ignorance of the process. The buyer at Target has NO idea who you are.

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:03:17 +0000 http://www.gomediazine.com/?p=1149#comment-129783 Graffiti fonts are the design equivalent of asking your grandmother to do a layout. If your eye isn't trained for something, what looks good to you is making others cringe. Most quality hands that you see in the street have more to do with logotype than handwriting, and took the better part of a decade to get decent. I say this not to be elitist, but merely in the spirit of working harder for better design. There's just as many rules to it as there are with any other form of working with letters, why are they to be ignored? That "Go Vandal" logo is atrocious! The spacing is completely wonky, and the instead of being a buildup of paint or ink in the correct places the drips make it look like its drooling! The only exception to my rant thus far has been the work done by Handselecta (http://www.handselecta.com/). They at least are taking regional styles by veteran graffiti writers, and melding it with typographic sensibilities to create graffiti fonts that look more professional, and closer to the real thing. Beyond that, any use of graffiti fonts for logos or display type should be avoided, that grandmasterb header is awful. If you have an actual project that needs a graffiti look, find an actual writer who knows what they're doing to do the display, there's hundreds of them out there, hell, a lot of them do design too.

I thought I was being narcissistic when I saw the front page about the font, until I read my name in the full article. You guys are awesome for really taking our suggestions and mainfesting them into such great products(we are talking a little less than a month here, folks). I am a major gas bill, birthday present, tank of gas, and lost bet away from buying this font myself. This could really expand into a major sub-category for the Arsenal. In regard to the quality of the handstyle, I think you answered that perfectly, and whose to say that this is the only graffiti font that will be created. For all those people with the skills, help the GOmedia team out with some samples to work from. We all benefit in the end.Keep up the good work. To me, you guys really set the standard for the pre-packaged vector market. P.S.- Jeff, I have a crappy (but unique)little font I tried to make that you guys may be able to tweak. If you would like to have it to take a look, I would be glad to send it to you. I am really glad you guys took my suggestion.
