A ghost was here.

There wasn’t much design work to do for this shirt, and it may not necessarily belong on this site, but it always makes me smile. There wasn’t a lot of design work to do because it was mostly done for me. At the first design job I took out of college, I often would talk to people about ghost stories or paranormal stuff and this was actually on my computer monitor once when I got up to go use the bathroom or something. I just liked the idea that a ghost comes by to haunt the place, there is nobody around, so the spirit leaves a haunted calling card. Sorry we missed you, boo.

The beginning and end of this design.

It’s basically a Post-it note with the ghost and text written in ball point pen. I scanned the note in, removed the text from the background and added a new yellow square that was warped to look like it was curved with a light shadow underneath. I saved the file as a png with an alpha channel and that’s about it. I put it the image on the back of the shirt to sort of resemble a “kick me” sign. I don’t know if anybody else would like it, but I do.
