THE DESIGN? It's a robot, representing AI (because that's what robots run on, even if it's simple basic programming), and the robot is dunking a human skull and spine. It's funny to me in a sarcastic, maybe even satirical way. The while idea of how that jump-man was first Jordan, which was representing one of the peak athletes in his prime, soaring, a master of his game-- now replaced by AI, and the AI is dunking him away. In a sense, humanity is the game-- not AI as most people would think, and it's being played out by itself, using AI. It's not really that deep.
         I was going to be all technical and count out the spinal cord and vertebrae, but it didn't have to be that serious. ONE REASON I put THE SPINE in was because of Chrism Oil, and spiritual enlightenment. People go to AI for that now. Most of humanity, humanity's spine, it's backbone, is becoming more and more dependent on AI, and it's like humanity can't stand on it's own anymore, so... the spine. A headless, spineless humanity.
         As far as the "full logo" with text, there were two designs done. The first one was the character (dunk-bot?), and the second one was just the text. Because Printful uses layers, I could then resize each piece (figure, and text) separately to get different effects (different color image and text), and placements (text above, behind, below, etc.)... but to have the whole design be more uniform I did a second one with the robot and text all on one image. Graphic designers do things like that. Most people who are not graphic designers would just do one design. The way I was taught to think was to make the design to look great in black & white, in multi-color, large, small, and everything in between-- which is why when you pa graphic designers to do things they give you so many options. We have to make sure that we cover all bases for you, and you image looks good on: t-shirts, fliers, business cards, letterhead, websites, billboards, stickers, pencils, etc. I bet that's why AI gives you the option to do 4 generations at once. Either way, i was making sure that i designed enough to work with the 5 layers that PRINTFUL gives you to work with.
         Here's a thing that bothers me... kind of a lot: "AI Artists" or the people claiming to be that. Stop doing that. If anything, you're a PROMPT writer, not even a coder, because it's not even code. You have to learn a whole lot more to learn to write code. Sesame Street can teach you to write a prompt. The AI does all of the work. If anything, the AI is the artist. It really bothers me when it comes to music, because music is such a universally soulful thing... or it can be. I only bring it up because this shirt pokes fun at that concept [of being an "AI ARTIST"]. Even more [disgusting?] is how people have businesses being content creators, and how they're flooding the market to make money, meanwhile, they have no love or passion, or event he slightest interest in what they're selling and/or making the AI "create" or put together. Because of that, the people who are trained to do those things, who are also passionate about that field, are being overlooked and underpaid, washed out by the AI oversaturation. It's the whole soul and spirit of humanity being sucked out, and the shell of it being fed a photocopy of it, and not even a good one. That's one of the messages at the heart of this shirt.
