WIP: I need some opinions on this cc project

[strangetomato]

I have an idea for a new cc project. It's pretty quick and easy, using the icons again, but I need some opinions. The focus group has ~virtual~ coffee. All participants get a free massage (and maybe more) from Ripp.








It's just a simple thing, using this edited mesh (from Maxis Dreams, I think... I have to figure that out), combining the white shirt with the plain jeans, and adding a little aspiration logo to the chest, and colouring the sneaks to match. I'd do all the aspirations.

So what do you think?




My only concern is how blurry and pixelly the logo is when it's close up, but that was an issue with my woohoo icons as well. It's just the quality of the icons themselves. Does this bother you? Should I make the logo bigger? They're usually about that size, so I wouldn't want to go too much bigger.

Is this worth doing? Please inform.

Thanks in advance! ^_^

Could you try sharpening up the layer with the aspiration logos seperately? One thing I do for lettering on icons and whatnot is to make a layer with just the letters, clone it a bunch, change some of the colors to something darker on about half of those layers, blur them, and then merge them all - with the bright, non-blurred layering on top. It kind of gives it at all a dropshadow kind of effect.

Then you stick that on the shirt texture, and voila!

Oh, and yes, aspiration shirts would be adorkable.

Hmmm, it's worth a shot. My instinct is to just recreate it, since I have a bit of an aversion to noticeable sharpening (though maybe it wouldn't be all that noticeable?). A layer in a different colour would be a good idea, as long as it read as a border, and not an actual shadow.

Thanks for the tips! :) I'll play around with it.
