I don’t know what I was thinking. This is kind of a play on a Japanese tattoo motif but using southern imagery. The elements include imagery of the hog, rooster, snake and chainsaw. I’m not advocating violence to animals, I just live in the BBQ state…..
As far as the colors went, I wanted to keep it at no more than 5 colors and I knew that I wanted red, pink and black so I came up with the green to be a good contrast with the red and I felt the yellow gave it a good punch of color to top it off.
If this doesn’t get picked up by DBH, which I’m sure it want… it doesn’t really fit into their winning design trends, I will probably drop one of the colors to have it printed myself.
