   don’t have any examples on hand, but have experienced this a bit in the past. working for poor bands is the worst.

   one color can be cool, if you use the shirt color as a second color in parts of it, you know?

   It would help to know what kind of style you’re looking for... Fantastic Bonanza printed 5 1-color designs, but I doubt anybody would describe them as 'killer'. Without knowing any other details (which would help), here are some 1-color (or almost 1-color) designs from Design by Humans:

    good stuff dudes. yeah, i didn’t want to get specific cause i wanted to leave what is possible w/ just one color open. they’re sort of a element-ish/brand heavy orange county based company tho..beach/light hearted etc.).

    godmachine has the idea...design = problem solving!

    pen+paper does seem like a good solution. thanks for those joe!

    if any of these come out good i’ll post 'em up.

    1 color can just be line drawings of an illustration, or halftoned gradients. There’s a lot you can do with just one color. You can fake other shades just by putting lines closer together.
