Something a Bit Different...part 2

I've been working on another t-shirt design for the same friend mentioned in the previous post.  There were a few requirements, but for the most part, it was pretty open-ended.  Yay for artistic freedom!  This was the initial concept.  I had a lot of fun with this and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Unfortunately, this concept was rejected, due to it being a bit excessive.(Dangit!)  My friend was looking for something more simple as the image would essentially be turned into vectors.  I'll still probably end up finishing this one for myself, just because I like it so much. 

Something a Bit Different

So I was recently asked, by a friend, to do a t-shirt design for a youth dance team based out of Daly City.  Even though I've never done any kind of t-shirt design, let alone, any kind of graphic design for that matter, I still happily obliged.  My friend  used the Paramount logo as his basis for inspiration, but also wanted to include a ribbon along with the stars.  So these are my initial concepts.

I initially had a few issues with Illustrator because I haven't used it in so long and I'm so used to Photoshop.  But overall, I'm happy with it.  I even managed to get it submitted on time despite a few personal obligations.  I'll try to throw in a picture of the actual shirt, once I get it.
