making the decision to print my design of at a smaller scale to replicate a jigsaw that would be sold commercially, i have build up the t-shirt composition again onto a photoshop page that is a3 size instead of A2, this way the board (background illustration of the portrait and outline of t-shirt) could fit into the jigsaw box swell.
thankfully, when adding the illustrations to the t-shirt they have not pixelated and you can see the precise detail i have added to each one. hooray!
though it was frustrating and time consuming to re-make my whole composition, i am glad i have as i think it is a stronger layout.
i have added detail to Tonys arms as i felt they looked to empty and odd seen as though i have made the rest of he's body (face and neck) very detailed.
Also, to avoid a obvious change within the t-shirt illustration where there is no map in the background, i have subtly taken a similar light grey colour and filled in the rest of the background of the t-shirt.
Another thing i noticed more when printing my illustration was that it looked bizarre that Tonys head was not in the centre of the page, however this was unavoidable as it would mean the t-shirt would not be in the centre. To overcome this on my re-made illustration, i have slightly altered the alignment/angle of it, tuning it slightly right so both the head and the shirt are central.
