It's been a while since my last post. Thought I would jump back into posting here with this little project.
I was approached by a client that was in the boiler industry. I was to do the artwork for a t-shirt design they needed. They sent me a picture of a boiler so I could see what one looked like. They wanted the boiler to have an attitude and to be ‘cool’. The shirt would read 'Boiler Attitude'. Here are several renditions made to the boiler as this project moved along. The client was constantly making changes to their original expressed desires. So I did become a little weary of drawing and redrawing but in the end the client was happy and I get to show off all the designs together in one place here for you to see. So the rejected designs weren’t an entire waste.
Customer's Boiler
‘It looks too much like a train.’
‘Can you add some pipes?’
‘More pipes please.’
‘Can you take out the rivets and have a tongue sticking out?’

I think you had it right oon the first design
I'm with Tommy, the first design was golden.
My husband is a power engineer (works with boilers) and he agrees.
The rivets definitely should have stayed...
Thanks for comments. Jen, it's good to hear that from your husband who works with boilers.
Great job on Thomas the Train.
Just kidding. I agree with Tommy & Jen. Just remember that everyone is an Art Director. Everyone.
the rivets really made the boiler look like a boiler to me. it almost never fails, the client always asks for the worst design. it just goes to show that the customer is always right, even when they are wrong.
