These are some t-shirt designs that I had while talking to some friends before a film shoot. One of the actors was asking if he needed to dress up in his hero costume in addition to dressing up in a goon outfit. The answer he got from the direction was that he was going to be "100% goon" during the film shoot. I proclaimed that "100% goon" should be on a t-shirt, and thus these designs were born.

I was originally wanting to go for a high school gym t-shirt design or something like a police shirt, and I think the two on the upper left reflect that the best. The text needed to be large, well aligned, and as unified as possible in order to clearly proclaim to all viewers the state of the shirt's wearer as a "goon" (much in the same way police shirt must very clearly show the wearer is an officer). Then I thought it might be fun if a goon shirt had eyes, so I played with that. Definitely, the eyes make use of intellectual unity in order to be perceived as eyes. The final design, saying, "eat you," was just a random thought while looking at the eyes and mouth of the center design. I thought it looked like the shirt wanted to eat something, or someone, and figured that "eat you" might be appropriate text to accompany. Personally, I think the "eat you" could be a little more chaotic with the letters maybe being different fonts, or slanted in different ways in order to make it "scarier."
