Contest Looking for Multiple T-Shirt Designs: $10-$15 paid out for each design that we pick

We are running a different kind of contest this time.

This contest is ongoing and we are basically seeking good T-Shirt designs directed towards some themes pertaining to our website, which is in the sig below.

Once we have enough designs, I will mark this post as such so that no one else will enter.

You can enter multiple times, but please please look at the feedback I give to other designs and if your design is not within the realm of what we like or of the same quality compared to the designs you see being entered that we like on this board, please do the both of us a favor and don’t enter. Not trying to be mean but too often there’s a lot of unprofessional looking pieces being entered into these kinds of contests. Remember, presentation is everything.

Our site is an entertainment news portal and has been dormant for the past couple months due to commitment issues with some of our writers but we are planning to relaunch and market our site more so than ever before, and that's where the shirts come in.

The Urban Twist is the name of the site, with the word "Twist" being a synonym for opinions, thoughts, style, vibe, etc.

The word "Twist" is not meant to be literal but rather as slang word that can basically mean any and everything.

Keep that in mind when designing your shirts.

The line of shirts are being called “With a Twist Tees” or “Twist Tees”. We’re not quite sure on the brand name yet but its premise goes a little something like this.

We are going to have several professions or occupations such as Doctor, Lawyer, Student, Singer, Artist, Model, etc. and they’re all going to have a “Twist”

Such as the shirt for the Doctor would say “I am a Doctor with a Twist” and be illustrated or stylized in such a way that differentiates the shirt from the other shirts even though they all carry the same basic “…with a twist” theme and structure.

The shirt in this case would have a doctor-esque theme and so on and so on.

Here are the professions and occupations that I’m looking for…for now.

This list is in order of importance to us.

Somebody (think of the famous slogan “I AM Somebody…” from many years ago)
Writer
Blogger
Beauty
Director (as in film director)
Doctor
Lawyer
Singer
Poet
Artist
Rapper
Doctor
Nurse
Actor
Actress
Producer (as in music producer)
College Student
High School Student
Model (girlish)

These are just a few to get started. I’m open to other ideas or slogans that may not pertain to this idea. If you have a good idea, submit it and we’ll consider it.

All designs for the most part be able to be worn by both men and women unless profession or occupation is gender specific such as Actress or Beauty.

Also, out of these "professions", "Somebody" is expected to be our flagship product of these shirts since anyone regardless of profession or occupation can wear this design. Treat the "Somebody" design as such.

And don't be afraid to show more than one version of a design, preferably the "Somebody" design. If we like them, we will select them.

Content must be completely unique and designs can be text based as well. If design is basically just text and we choose it, that'll be $10 and for all others $15.

Designs would need to be vector images as well.

We will select from more than just artist. However, if an artist nails this concept down pretty well, we may ask him/her to work exclusively on this and close contest down early.

There is no cap, we are seeking multiple designs.

Good luck and look forward to see the entries!

 

Well since nobody else wants to be the first to post a design, I'll go ahead and post mine.

I went ahead and went for the "Somebody" design.



I'm open to all feedback. Just let me know what you like or don't like.

 

My try:




feedback appreciated.

 

entry..not flashy..
other occupations, will also have a symbol about their occups and we can play with the colours

 

It's always hard going first and although you made a nice attempt, it just isn't what we're looking for in terms of being on a shirt and being something that we can market and sell.

Thanks again for entering!

 

Although I like the font that you used for "Soon", you really didn't grasp my instructions very well at all for what I am looking for as your shirt's slogan doesn't make any sense at least not to me at first glance. I'm not trying to be mean but you need to have a better understanding of the instructions before wasting your time on a contest because your design is not even close to what was explained and IVIaster even gave you something to base your design from since he went first.

But thanks for entering!

 

You are definitely in the lead. And I must say that I am very thoroughly impressed. Really impressed. I can definitely see these shirts being sold and being able to market themselves. You can keep the "Doctor" one as is and I would like to see a couple more variants of the "Somebody" T-Shirt since this will be our flagship design since there will be a whole lot more people, practically everyone who can wear the "Somebody" shirt, and not the "Doctor" shirt.

You may have won me over with this and I may have you do the complete line of shirts. It's just that I do want to see some other entries first but you have a strong, if not permanent lead on at least 2 of the designs.

Thanks! And I'm glad that you were able to grasp the instructions because I know it was a mouthful, lol but I try to be as descriptive as possible.

 

ohh you...stop it...LOL! thanks ill PM you

 

I'm here with my T shirt .

 

updates sent via pm

 

wait for me

 

I will submit an entry soon.

 

Anything can be changed

 

My concept: to have to keyword(rapper,student...) written with a particular font associated with the word (graffiti for the rapper, that college style for the student, something classy for the beauty...) and a little symbol over the text (cap for the rapper,greek symbols for the student...). Feedback please.

I like this design but I think we will wind up going with johnross for this design but thanks for entering.

 

I like the Doctor version a lot. Even though it looks like I will be going with John Ross for this design as well. I may also add yours to have a little more variety. I'm still weighing out the options. The only thing that's missing is that I would need to see " I am" added to it so I can view it all together. I am not really feeling the other two piece's clipart that you used but If I were to select one of these designs, it would definitely be the "doctor" one once you make the slight changes to it.

 

Text and font just looks a little too simple, even for my taste. As you can tell, I'm all about simplicity based on other designs I've liked but I don't think that this will work for me.

Thanks for entering.

 

Another font

 

Like the direction you're going in. I like all of these. You guys are really making it hard on me.

 

Contest is placed on hold as of right now.

I really like johnross line of work and I'm beginning to like cosmotyler's line as well to give off a slightly different but funkier alternative to JohnRoss's designs that he has PM'd me with.

I have a lot to chew on but John Ross and Cosmo designs so far are in the lead. I've also received another submission via PM from amir that I'm also considering.

Don't want to waste anyone else's time bc these 3, especially JohnRoss has provided me with a lot to chew on. I will update if I'm still looking for more designs other than from these 3 mentioned.
