Shirt Design Contest

Post by **gannon** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 10:33 pm

Since the talk of making shirts for the lpc and stuff has come about, I set up a little Cafe Press shop. Me a Spongebuell thought that if we ever are to have a convention, we could use the store to help raise cash for renting out a hall or something

Unless of course we want a convention in a park, although that'd be kinda neat since it is a portable convention so to say

So, post your ideas/images here! If you win we'll give you a cookie or something

I think the DP logo might make a good shirt
Maybe along with the "Warranty Voiding Fun" qoute

yeah but what if we ran out of batteries?!?!?!?!? I guess we can always bring some huge generators

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.......anyway, yeah that'd be a sweet shirt....I like the PoD idea and on the back (or the front.....) we could have "Warranty-voiding Fun!"
I wonder if Ben has any ideas......

Would it be an option to have Ben's story of how he made the first VCSp on one shirt. I just love this line

So, I went to sleep that night in despair. The circuit board sat there, mocking me.

"Ha ha, Ben! You can't figure me out! I'm too big! Too big! Why, look! Look at all this wasted space on me! Put there only to frustrate you!"

I was thinking that. if I knew what font that was in I'd change it so it would say the portablizers of doom...

That's a good idea, I'm not sure if it's a font or if it was written with the paint brush, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard to change.

Well everyone liked the before and after idea in the other thread so I took it upon myself to make one. I dont think its too bad considering I hardly have any artistic talent and I'm using paint.

Its actually pretty cool.

I'm not trying to be specific, I was looking for the best compramises.

Edit 1- I got it installed, thanks. So I guess expect my future images to look batter.

Hello peoples, I've posted here many times before, but only as 'Guest'... so if you see an excellent post under the name of 'Guest', it was me.

Anyway, I had a go at doing a shirt design:

This would be in the middle of the shirt at the front, and on the back, it would have a URL for either BenHeck.com or DoomPortables.org, depending on which one you want.

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 9:57 pm

why not both?

I'll try to set up a contest page on doomportables tomorrow
