Colour Wheel

So pretty recently I took a colour theory class and it really helped me understand and get a grip as too which colours go well with each other, which should not be worn in which season, etc etc. I recently received my American Apparel wholesale catalogue and was overwhelmed by the endless possibilities. Honestly, the colour selection for their t-shirts is orgasmic, to say the least. I am still in a debate with myself over if I want any of my designs in v-necks, and if so, how many and which colours. But I'm pushing that a side for now... I'm just going to focus on good old t-shirts - nothing fancy. Again, this is just temporarily - I can and will be making revisions. BUT - enough jibber jabber - I am posting today to ask you guys what colours you'd like to see for the base of the t-shirts. I am NOT asking...what you think the design of the t-shirt should be, what words should appear on the t-shirt, if the shirt should be a v-neck or not, you get the picture... I am asking is for you to tell me your top few (two or three) colours that you would wear for a graphic t-shirt. The reason I am doing this is because pretty soon I am going to have to order the t-shirts, or make selections for colours. If I get a lot of responses and I see a large number of you guys say you really like the colour gold, for instance, then that could be beneficial to me and would influence my decision in buying gold t-shirts.

So, how do I view the colours available Brian?!

Well if you click on the post title, Colour Wheel, it should direct you to an American Apparel link. If scroll down just a bit you will see all of the colour choices available. If you can't seem to get to the link for some strange reason you can also click here. Below I also have posted all of the colours along with their names - but if you go to the link you can see the actual t-shirt in that colour, and what you might have thought would be a great colour for a t-shirt, may actually look like shit. So I suggest actually taking the time and clicking the link!

After you have picked your top two or three colours e-mail them to Brian Patrick Apparel at brian_patrick@london.com Be sure to spell the names right! If you want to include anything else in the e-mail (questions, comments, etc) please feel free to do so! However, if you ask a question that I have already answered in this blog, I will just re-direct you here.

Once I get a lot of feedback I will post about some of the results and what colours I personally enjoy. Later tonight or tomorrow I am going to post a Q&A (question and answer) blog, so if you have any send them to me along with your colour choices as soon as possible!

On another note, classes have started again. I didn't get to bed until extremelly late last night, as predicted. I woke up late, rushed to get ready, and on my way out the door slipped and fell straight on my arse due to my obliviousness to the huge patches of black ice waiting for me outside my front door. I was hit with a bit too much homework for first day back, but I finished it all, thankfully. I didn't get to start to read that book Choke that I was talking about in my last post. Instead, my global teacher is bringing in a different book for me to read, he thinks I'll enjoy it. The Reader - a movie was just made of it too, seems pretty interesting. They're talking about a snow storm to come starting early tomorrow night... hopefully school is delayed/canceled for Wednesday... that would be nice. Oh and today thanks to my good friend, Josh Hoffman, I figured out how to auto-delay my pictures using my D80! Leave it to Josh to help me with something like that! No more arm-length myspace pictures! Speaking of Josh Hoffman... he himself is a photographer - check out his photography with the link below! AND ON TOP OF THAT, he also has his own clothing line too - SMACKED! Apparel, which you should also check out via the link below! Okay well enough konipchonboobala - it's 11:33, and I'm fucking tired! Goodnight!
