I'll close the contest on Sunday August 24th. I will choose at least one entry - possibly more. Each separate entry chosen earns $50. Design is for a promotional shirt for www.bingoadvantage.com - it should suggest that Bingo Advantage is fun. I want the following elements the URL www.bingoadvantage.com <- most important "FREE BINGO" doesn't have to be all-caps "Cash Prizes" resolution should be 1500 x 1500 or higher according to one of the drop-shippers Bonus points for incorporating these characters xxhttp://www.bingoadvantage.com/images/images.rar check xxhttp://www.bingoadvantage.com/forum2/forums/12/bingo_comics.cfm for an idea of what these characters are about. Bonus points for including room to customize each shirt with the player's role and/or username I will be sending these t-shirts to active members that help make the site strong. I'm hoping the design is attractive enough that they will wear the shirts and attract additional members. ps. I'm also accepting advice for t-shirt print shops that will drop ship. I will be shipping to north america and UK - so I imagine that it might make sense to use more than one shop.
I am in too. I am trying to understand all of your requirements. I will incorporate the characters. Is there a limit to the amount of colors that you want in the design ? I think more colors will cost you more to print. And you said resolution of the file is 1500 x 1500 , this is the actual size of the design ? Or are you referring to DPI ? Usually 300 DPI is good for printing. ? I will post my design soon.
Ok, here is my first try at a design for you. If you have feed back OR want to see something different I will be glad to work on more designs or revisions. In the design in the top of the circle where your characters are there is some white / blank space. This could be used to add the members name, and or role. Here it is on a t-shirt.
Alright, I didn't make the file 1500x1500 because I made it at 300 DPI (at 5" x 5"). Colors can be easily modified. This t-shirt was designed to be printed on a gray shirt. Feedback please.
Mike S. you've used my ideas of the speech bubbles, take them out now please. I may report your post if you don't, thanks.
You can report the post all you wish. I did not even look at your design and therefore am certainly not stealing your design. The cartoon characters are part of a comic (which is often associated with speech bubbles and cartoon-type fonts). I have been a reputable member of DigitalPoint for quite some time now and your threat is meaningless to me. I am not in any way trying to offend you, but I live in reality and actuality and I have learned to not reply "How high?" whenever somebody yells "Jump!".
Very nice work guys. My expectations have already been exceeded. I can see that I will be purchasing at least two designs. LucyChase and ASM Design make the short list at the moment. I feel that LucyChase has the design which is most eye catching and likely to be worn by my members. I feel that ASM Design's design would be the most effective at potentially drawing new members (but only if they choose to wear it.) Feedback : Ninjax - great on the whole, but my eyes go to the top right corner and I feel that both the brand and the message are lost in the chaos. a4hire - this a completely viable design and i like that you incorporated the site slogan and left space for titles. I just feel that the last couple of entries are a little more fun. Mike S. - I don't like the font that you used for bingoadvantage. I like the speech bubbles but I don't think it is the best use of space. LucyChase - I love this design, it has it all - except I would like the xxwww.bingoadvantage.com to be more readable / memorable. ASM Design - I can't criticize your graphic at all. It really drives the message home. It would make a great banner actually.
Thanks for the feedback Advantage, I agree that Lucy and ASM have a nice design. I like them too. I am going to work on another design or a revision of mine and submit another design here later today.
