T-Shirt design for my youtube channel Feedback welcome :)

[Jason Bowen]

Hi so I am working on a T-shirt design for my youtube channel. I have 4 designs so far with one of my catch phrases: Sitting Back Having A Look.... let me know which you like the best.
Thanks for any help

Thats my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF548gOvfcPct3DlLHJTvJQ

I plan on changing my logo too because I am not as cool as the logo lol

I do some t-shirt design, so I have some thoughts here.

I like the concept of the first one. It reads clearly, and I can tell what the character is doing. The angle of the second one obscures the intention of the logo. Similarly, the angle of the third one, while unique, makes the character's actions unclear. The fourth one isn't as strong compositionally. There's a lot of empty space and it's not dynamic.

I would personally work on developing the first one. One thing to keep in mind is the space of the t-shirt. An image that's longer horizontally (such as image 4, and to a lesser degree image 1) is only going to print on part of the chest of the t-shirt, and may not look as good as an image that's a bit taller vertically. Much like the cover of a book, you want people to get a strong impression of your shirt with a quick glance. You can do that with a smaller image, but the smaller the image is the simpler it should be.

I hope that helps. Good luck with your channel! What's it about?

@TwiggyT thanks for the tips. It's about painting, mostly observational oil painting at the moment
