T-Shirt Design Competition

nice SK

[Cazza]

Nice, Dave - I like that.

Dizz - a request for the girly t-shirts - if we're having our names on the back, can they be printed lower down than usual - otherwise those with longer hair always have their names covered up?

It would also suit any blokes with extreme mullets and front-to-back comb-overs.

Wear your hair in pig tails.. Sorted.

Is that just wishful thinking? ;)

[Owenski]

I'd say that's spot on for what Rob wa chasing there dave - good work.

Note: when viewing on tapatalk that disc/0 looked exactly like a Rose, i recon then that if you were to make the disc wall wider, so the larger bloom is smaller and then make the smaller bloom even smaller again, then it'll look more obvious as a Rose within a disc. - worth a punt, it might look god awful but ya never know.

[Smudge]

How about the route on the back just incase you get lost?

[orose]

The route is basically turn right out of civilisation and then roll back in after about 80 miles... then a left, and back to camp 40-odd miles down the road. Not really much help if you're lost, I'd say ;)

[Owenski]

sounds about right ollie, if your lost in north yorkshire then your pretty much feck'd. Keep going until you find a cyclist who can point you in the right direction (unless they too are lost, then just leave them to the wolves and save your self).

[Binky]

Very rough for now, need to render the SV650 logo and "flower-up" the brake disk.

Thoughts?

Do NOT use Comic Sans anywhere on the design!

Otherwise, it's looking good SK.

That would be one to ask sir PT6.

I like the roberrrrt/SK design too. Only one thing.....I think it should have sv650.org there somewhere, as it doesn't say whose annual rideout it is. Also a reference to the date.

agreed, all lasses should have their hair in pigtails. Can we make this mandatory?


i like the new design!!!! btw

[dizzyblonde]

No need in North Yorkshire.....you get the windswept look, so all yer hair will be out of the way of the name on your back ;)

Read my text - I didnt have a load of time last night so still need to prep the SV650.org logo :)

The lid in the design is based off a Shoei XR1000 BTW :)

****REALISATION****

I've helped paul do a few of these shirt prints etc, if the pattern (like it is) is singular in colour then it'll be vynal printed and heat pressed onto the shirts from a singluar color roll.
Lets for now (and arguments sake) assume he's using white vynal to be mounted on black t shirts, those brake discs are going to require every single perforation in the disc edge picking out of every disc on each shirt so you can view the contrast of the shirt through the design.
A little quick maths would say if there are 60 holes on each disc intended for 120 shirts printed (similar to last years figure) then he's going to have to be picking out 7200 3mm circles of vynal.

So what Im getting at is: Is there a way we can make it so there are 100holes on each disc? ROFL Im joking obviously, is there an adjustment that can be made to reduce the number of holes, or band each of the 2 holes in a line together to make it just one slot, that way each disc of 60 holes becomes 20 slots reducing the amount of work (and time) by a third.

Already thinking of that and I will remove the holes completely - was thinking of narrowing the perforated area to make the flower bigger

[Paul the 6th]

Mornnnniinnnnn

easy job - could either reduce the number of holes in the drilled disc - OR - print the disc element on transfer (like the AR10 sheep or GM4 midgie).. The only issue which springs to mind with the latter, is that the Flex used for the lettering has a nice msatin finish, but the printed transfers take on a matt finish once pressed so might look like it's been dropped in place afterwards.

We could happily do a test pressing and supply to dizzee/AR organisers to see if they're happy (and post pics on here but won't be as obvious/clear). It won't be screamingly obvious, but aesthetically there may be one or two people who deem the over all finished garment not to be of the best quality, simply because the transfer might look a little like it's been thrown together.

For those of you who've got your AR shirts from last year (sheep logo) have a look at the difference between the flex and printed transfer :)

[Paul the 6th]

or has SK has suggested above :)

[SoulKiss]

Ok so put a bit more work into this - all elements have been drawn/converted by my into my 3D proggy (so if you needed it as vextor/DXG whatever I can vie it to you like that Paul), even the SV650 logo is re-done rather than scanned.

Left shows the back of the shirt, to the right are the bit to go on the front, using the same layout as roberrrrts design.

I'd have to have looked them up :p

Text Stuff I'd leave to you/Paul, only bits you need are the SV650, helmet and brake-disk - that includes all font decisions :p

[Roberrrrt]

Looks miles better than by photoshop bodge! haha

Great work SK, me likey :)

*my

[Geodude]

Love how this design has evolved, well done guys.

[Smudge]

Looks awesome! Do we print our own names on or will they be done to order and setup through fleabay?

Think that depends who's doing the printing.

For such a "simple" design ie no colour layering etc Cbay or Pt6th would be able to do them, and they would usually take your order and print the full thing.

No point going through evilbay when we have two good guys on the forum who can do the whole lot from start to finish.

Nice work peepholes, I knew it would be ace :cool:
Can't wait to get mine.

Don't worry Smudge. To press we have Pt6 on board. He sets up orders through his business website. Dealt with directly to those ordering. No need for ebay or anythin.

[Smudge]

Nice one! Is Pt6 the Paul from Headingly?

[orose]

Right - new designs are now closed... I'll go through and see what you lot came up with and put a poll up
