These T-shirts were designed for 'Guano Apes' Offline Tour Competition hosted by Talenthouse. One of the most successful German rock bands, Guano Apes are known to every music fan. Since their early hits "Open your Eyes" or "Lords of the boards", Guano Apes became an integral part of the German and international music scene, consolidated by over four million records sold, three ECHO Awards and an MTV Europe Music Award.
Distorted
This artwork emphasizes the moment when a signal distortion takes place and we become offline, unable to connect to the world. The four band members of are also given a transmission motion blur effect to highlight the theme. The blurred WiFi signals has a dual meaning. It also exemplifies the fact that music can travel through waves and reach us from far distances. At the end, the live tour dates are added to pump up the fans.
Offline Error
This T-shirt was inspired by the offline error page of Google Chrome. We see a display of T-Rex Pet dinosaur when we're unable to connect to the internet due to technical problems. "Guano Apes" Members are pixelated into 8-bit style pixel art using the Mosaic Filter in Photoshop to enhance the feel of an offline system. You can zoom in for more clarity.
