Boards.ie needs your artistic help.

DeVore

We are looking for a few good t-shirt ideas and pics.

I was hoping to convince a few people to put their artistic talents to work on some t-shirt designs.

Basically, we are looking for something that will work on a white t-shirt, mug, coffee cup which ties in with the Boards.ie mascot guys (or not as the case may be).

Something people will look at and want to wear.

Check out this thread
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35964
for Freak's first roughwork... of his idea.

I like the idea of subculture or underground tie ins given our past and community culture.

Can you help? Any style is cool, whatever comes to your fevered brains.... it should contain Boards.ie somewhere on it if it can be worked in.

DeV: have you looked into t-shirt printing costs? A few of my friends and I have t-shirt ideas and slogans we want to get printed up for cheap but we're not sure where the best place is to get them printed.

Anything you (or anyone else) know(s) would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, that didnt take long!

Here's another version of it (slight altered). I hope Monkey doesnt mind me altering what is a crackin idea.

Any chance of making a .zip with all the mascot guys in it? Or are the ones on the front page the lot?

Seems like he missed a few spots in shaving in that pic..

its a tough choice but id have to go with devs. simply as it looks more like the board homepage ppl

DeVore

God damn, the more I look at that the more I like the whole idea, its fúckin sweet... been showing it to people (giving Monkey credit) on IRC all evening. Its just too bold hahaha

DeV.

DeVore

ok, decided to have a go myself. Thought up this one...




the BOARDS still looks odd, but I'm damned if I'm going to go back and do it for the 3487679496 time.

ROFLMBO thats absolutely magic DeV, I don't think I've laughed that much at a topic before, I almost missed it too because I thought it was the other one up above, you should have that one as a front back one, with the writing on the front, also to generate more traffic the boards bit should be boards.ie

and once again ROFL

DeVore

And another...


Just for kicks.

BTW: I found out about pixels and sizes etc from the printer:

"Our Printers can print up to A3 size. That is 2376 x 1656 pixels. Mouse mat images can be up to 1389x1077 pixels, and mug image can be up to 1020x397 pixels. Print your image on paper to check it. "

If people are doing up designs that aren't full colour, they'd be best of doing them in illustrator or similar vector graphics package as the result will be better than something done in Photoshop AFAIK.

I think non full colour printing is also generally cheaper too.

boards.ie

An alternative could have someone behind bars looking out on front and "Muppets Keep Out" on flipside.

and bsides, ppl may not even know what muppet refers to...

err, I was j/k. obviously something like that won't go for print, but it if did you'd get some laughs walking down the street

DeVore

Full colour makes no difference as these are computer printed.

We dont have a mimimum number so we can just print 1 or 1000 as they are sold.

the sizing is fairly good too, we can use quite a bit of the t-shirt.

I've been thinking about a couple that have been suggested to me.


1. Resevoir Boards...

The cartoon lads from the front of Boards.ie in the classic Reservoir Dogs black jackets.


2. Usual Spammers...

The cartoon lads in the lineup from the movie Usual Suspects.
