If you’re in the design industry you’ve heard the term ‘photoshop tennis’. It’s a sort of game between bored graphic artists that starts with some sort of blank canvas and perhaps a theme.

Frederik drew the motorcycle, Maike offered up sketches of the girl to choose from, polished it up, and Frederik drew the tshirt design.
