Just finished this; 3 spot colors- unless using a 2nd white...

[RICK STEFANICK]

Great work

[theMadArtist]

Thanks, Rick!

You do such a great job with the minimal colors

[Prince Art]

Yeah, the Classic Offroad is a good one - great use of limited colors.

It never ceased to put me in shock to see what people are willing to pay money to PRINT!
Here the screen printer asked if I could lower the number of colors in this design; did the sketch telling them they should ask the customer if they wanted it re-drawn. They loved it, and are going to see client tomorrow- but, in my experience, they will stick to their trash!

(PS- the bottom left supposedly has a motorcycle image behing it!)

Another fun job! The owner wanted himself as a 'Rat-Fink'-like monster.....

[larryk]

To much Fink and not enough Rat.

I think the concept got progressively stronger with each iteration. And a being able to meet a request for a caricature is a great skill to have! From a "what could tweak it higher" standpoint, I think this design SCREAMS for decorative fonts! Stuff like dafont's horror or comic options (the 100% free stuff, i.e. ok for commercial use) can be a good resource that doesn't add to the budget.

I am also a salesman; if the person isn't easily recognized, chances are he won't like i!
