$80 T-Shirt/Hoodie Design Contest

[Unbore]

I am launching my site www.BanThis.com

I am looking for a design for a hoodie and a t-shirt, if both are different that would be preferred. (NOTE: If someone makes a t-shirt design i like and someone else makes a hoodie design i like i will pay both $50-$60 depending on how much i like the design)

Im looking for something that people will want to buy not just an advertisement.

The site is "BanThis!"

I like new ideas, i'll give feedback with every submission.

Contest will end when i find a design i see a designer who has the same views i do.

Another side note, i will not just be taking one design i will be looking for multiple, which means, multiple winners.

Thanks guys,
Troy

Oh and before i forget you can go to www.BanThis.com for the logo, it does NOT need to be used in the logo but if you can fit it in it couldnt hurt. If you want the psd for the mouth to put in your shirt design also let me know.

And the shirts will most likely be BLACK or DARK RED

sry, I've not understand... what we write/draw on t-shirt?

thx :)

[mjda]

I'd like to get in on it, but I won't have Photoshop for at least another 3-4 days. Hopefully it'll still be going by then!

[Unbore]

It needs to say "BanThis!" on the shirt somewhere.
Go for whatever style you see fit grunge, clean whatever im looking for em all.
You dont need the .com but if you could put it in there and make it look good let's see it

Once again if you need a psd of the layout dont hesitate to ask for one

[Magicgfx]

could I get the logo psd?... Thanks! :)

[neme12]

is this what are you looking for? What (design, color, font etc) to write on the t-shit? Or you need the design of the actual t-shirt?-shot/long sleeves etc

Although i appreciate your attempt but i dont think people would find that fashionably appealing.
I like the look of band t-shirts with the weird spiral things (i dont know what to call them) and try to design on a black shirt or hoodie.

If you have other ideas dont hold them back!

[Mike S.]

Just a little thought.

Do you have your logo available in a PSD for members to use for this contest, because if they are just taking the design off of your website the quality of the design is going to be horrible when it is printed, and that goes for everybody really that is entering your contest, and just creating their design on that small image of a t-shirt. Yes, it looks very nice for presentation to you (the client), but if you try to get it printed it will look like crap because most entrants probably are just creating their design with that t-shirt layout in the background.

For the contest holder...
If you want your logo to be in the design, you should offer a PSD if you have one, if not I would not pick a design with a copy of your logo in it at 72 dpi. You should also make sure that any graphic you accept will be printable.

To contest entrants...
Make sure your graphic is roughly a square between 5" and 10" and at 300 DPI or so to make sure it can be printed at a very high quality. Also, when transferring the graphic, offer a PSD and PNG file because it will need to be a transparent file on a colored t-shirt.

If you really are looking for your logo in the design, please put up a PSD. If you aren't too strong on having your logo in it, just say so. Either way I may enter if I have time.

Everyone who wanted a psd i sent it to, i already stated ask me for a psd.

[oswin_mb]

lol@ Mike. I guess most of the designers are professionals here and all the points you mentioned would have been taken care of...

wat you see here are just the samples on how it looks on the t shirt, upon completion of the contest the client would receive a 300 dpi psd or a png and not a 200x200 gif.......

Thanks for the concern thou mike.:D

[Mike S.]

Well, no. The sad part is that not every person that entered would have created the design at a higher resolution. I've been around forums like this one long enough to see people not know much more than to copy/paste an image from google, so I bet you at least some portion of the entries were not created to an appropriate resolution.

I would enter, but I am going to be gone this whole weekend, and won't have time to make an entry by the time I receive a PSD.

[Tycoon7]

Would like to submit a design but have a question.
Dont know if you are doing the printing yourself or have a place that is working with you with low prices, but price is dtermined by number of colors if you going down the screenprinting route, also depends on amount of shirts or hoodies getting made. So basically im asking is number of colors not an issue. Let me know how many colors if you have a limit and from there I will begin a design, I want to make it a cost efficient printable design.

[Tycoon7]

Decided to do something for you justsomething real simple. Let me know what you think. I hope this is the type of feel your going with, not sure if you wanted a grimmy/grungy type of look.

Just noticed the wings are not lined up so just to let it be known that I am aware of this.

Coming from t-shirt experience a lot of these are going to be a bi*** to print. These are the ones that I saw will be considerably easier to print.

^Thats why i decided to do only 2 colors. Most of them are doable but with so many colors they can gt pricey might need someone with a 6-8 color press, but if you do go with DTG printing it is easier but not same quality but not bad quality just not same as screen printing.

[Ace2016]

Lol, make the arrow pointing downwards, that would be funny

Upwards = erection
Downwards = invitation for fun

Number of colors is not a concern.. it will just wind up costing more to produce the shirts.

Left most one is looking nice. Simple but still fashionable

Ok here is the deal yes i have been pushing this off for awhile, but i want to get a good first shirt then i will pick out others and none came across yes as exactly what i am looking for so i am still looking and i do really need these designs so i encourage you all to keep it up.

hi, i know you posted this contest on namepros as well, and i was wondering if you hadnt forgotten about it. Or should i just submit my entries here?

[tanz.oma]

^ Same question here.

[Dietros]

I saw you used some of the designs on you site, one of them was mine but I have never received a payment or something that would indicate the payment would follow... What's going to happen with this contest and if no one 'wins' why do you use the designs?

[Ariestoteles]

Oh man really? give us link mate...

oh, i got it

http://www.banthis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29

[DaveyBoy]

I wouldn't worry about that anyway, I mean they don't have the vector of the artworks (i assume..) so they won't be able to get them printed up anyway without a total redraw by somebody.

Maybe they will pay for them anyway, just putting them on the site first - still seems immoral though!

[Dietros]

No, I haven't sent them the original files yet, so I guess you're right, no need to worry. Thanks for the reactions.

" BanThis! Shirt design

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to use 2 of your t-shirt designs for banthis.
However, i do not have enough funds.
Would you be selling to sell the designs for $20 each? I will give you positive itrader and announce you as a winner.

Thank you,
Troy

For all the hard work put in and wasting time of all the designers here he wants to offer $20 for each design. which I refused and offered him a 10$ discount. But still no news from him. Something seems fishy here !!!!!
