We love our designers, they not only keep our line of personalized growth charts, alphabet posters, and tshirts fun and fresh, they’re just super cool people! This is one of the reasons we wanted to shine the spotlight on them and their designs. This week it’s Muffin, who gave us the new Merry Menagerie Big Brother Tshirt and Big Sister Tshirt, whose animal-tastic font is sweet and playful.
This is what inspired Muffin to create the Merry Menagerie Big Brother Tshirt and Big Sister Tshirt:
I am kind of obsessed with fonts. I love the way that a font can feel, each of them differently. Some fonts feel modern, others more classic. Knowing that I was designing for a kids tee, I started looking for playful fonts. When I found this font I very quickly began to see animal shapes out of them. I added an eye here and a whisker there and before I knew it, I had several animals shaped from the letters. This tee shirt design actually came very easily to me.
I have a five year old daughter who is the inspiration behind a lot of my designs. When I was designing this tee she came into my office (because I have the joy of working from home) and said, “Hey, that’s an owl!” Having her look at my designs helps me to make sure I’m on the right track. If she can see what it is, then I know I’ve done my job!
Is there a personalized growth chart or tshirt design you’d like to know the inspiration for?
