Stylistically, that looks like the type of thing I'd like to do with the shirts I think. And okay, so it's Michael, ??? and Luther. Is the middle one Marvin or Teddy? - i googled up pictures - put them in photoshop, one by one desaturate the color (meaning remove the color and turn them black &white) - did a "fake vector" on it using some filters, changed the levels to make it completely black & white - position them around a bit then erase a lot of parts & merge them together - add text and voila Oh excuse my choices, when I seen "remembering real r&b" I was thinking of artists that are no longer with us, although there would've been more there were the ones that popped into my head first. Oh and Guru, it was Gerald Levert. <b>R&B Guru Says</b> <blockquote><i><span><span class="IL_SPAN"><input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden">haha</span> so you were able to do that in 10 minutes?

One would be "Keeping Real R&B Alive" and it would be based on just classic 90s artists. The other one would be "Remembering Real R&B Music" a la what you've got there. Still can't believe that's Gerald LeVert haha. Though he did have that stereotypical "sad" face which you can see in the picture. Nice I'm goig to have to play around with that and see what I can do.

I'd love to see Joe on the shirt too, but I mean is he THAT recognizable? I guess to R&B fans yes, but what is the goal here? I suppose if you are catering to hardcore fans, you can put pretty much anyone. Aaliyah sucked, her voice great? Really? I've heard porn stars scream out better notes, true story.

Is the point to represent what the general public would know, or who was truly talented? Where do you stand on R Kelly? If we go impact, he was huge. What I'll probably do is try this with as many as possible (ask d0rk for help when i fail) and go by the ones that look the best/are most recognizable. The good news is, we can pick and choose for now. We're not committed until we've made a design and I've ordered it :). Hrm, with his bald head, Joe is pretty hard to catch. It is a good question.

It was hard finding good pictures, and even harder making them distinct enough to be recognizable. Having tried this...

I was just shocked at the comment really and didnt kno what to say lol. but its all good) Is this shirt to be recognizable for everyone or people who are (like he said) for hardcore fans. if its to a broader audience than the distinct faces of the 90s. A good balance between the male and female artist (or have seprate) Yea what Johnny said (minus the Aaliyah comment he has a right to his own oppinion.

See, here's where you get a problem again because Toni Braxton belongs on that list too. AHHH Men Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Babyface, R Kelly? Maybe mixing in Maxwell/Joe/Keith Sweat Another option is a remembrance shirt... though d0rk is clearly the graphics designer here so it might be best if we talk to him about all this :) After all this talk, I'm thinking we can do a womans R&B with Aaliyah, Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey?
