From my announcement thread, this is the place for brainstorming, planning, organizing, developing ideas and then completing the details for the finished Tshirt and Zantarni Merchandise Design project.

- Tshirt Designs:
Yes, you heard (read) me right... physical tshirts to wear on our real-life physical bods! (and isn't that a cool idea?  ) I'm looking for a handful of generic Zantarni t-shirt designs... the official Zan Crest (middle one), for example, done up in a print-friendly way. No, we don't need color separation (at the moment but if you know how to do this, please be my guest!), and I'm still looking in to various details of what getting this done means in realistic terms, but I'd like some designs to work with.
...One of my best buddies from college has a custom print shop, but I was looking in to something along the lines of Zazzle or CafePress. Going this route would be a bit more expensive, but also quite a bit simpler to do in a lot of ways. I am still investigating the options (which is why I'm not sure if we'll need color separation or not)...
 Please Do Not post or upload the designs developed for this project anywhere other than Zantarni. This would include your DA, photobucket, etc., accounts ...for the time being. Once decisions have been made and designs released, you may post them as part of your portfolios, etc. (I'll let you know). Thanks!
|
Remember, this project is being placed in to your hands, Zantarni! Although I'll be available to answer important questions and will check in here as I am able, the idea here is to take this project (and the others) OFF my plate, enabling me to work on other things that only I can do... not add more things to my list! 
Please organize yourselves and the project in this thread, as you deem most appropriate, and don't hesitate to recruit the services of a Knight to organize things or answer questions (please reserve PMing me for this unless it's absolutely necessary)
Thank you all... and good luck!

other than the zantarni crest what other types of designs would you like?
were i to do something up myself i could have separate color layers to separate them.
for the crest though, do you know who originally designed it, and if you can contact them maybe they have the PS layered one still saved? (i doubt it but that'd be worth a shot i guess)

I would actually like the Zan Crest illustrated... redrawn specifically for a t-shirt, if at all possible.
Other designs? That's for you guys to figure out!
Remember, I'm not going to constantly be here, managing these projects...

Okay, well I looked into Zazzle. It's a bit more expensive, but it has a discount at least...and they have several tee styles to pick from.
I'll dump designs here when I finish some, so people can comment on them.
Getting some opinions from the people, who will buy them is always good :3

Are you looking for a company that will print the shirts and also sell them through their own website? Or are you after a company where you can request a certain amount to be printed and sent to you, which you will then sell through Zan and handle the shipping yourselves?

Well, a trusted user or someone could handle the packaging and such? I just feel like it would be cheaper that way. Though I'm Probably wrong

You can make your Photobucket account private, Sy. ^__^
Those are looking really good so far!

It already it, so there shouldn't be a problem correct, Tisiel? Thanks for the complement.

Yep, if it is private, then it's not a problem! ^___^ (sorry for the late reply -- I missed that you had answered!!  )

Let me worry about the details, guys I will find and use the option that makes the most sense to use right now... and that does include doing something that protects my sanity at least a little bit ('cuz let's face it, you want me working on the site instead of finding a place to store tshirts, stuffing boxes, and running to the post office all the time, riiiiiight?  ) 
Thank you for the preliminary images Syuriko!
I've started playing with what you've posted (the flat designs have a certain appeal), but it's looking like we're going to need larger images (about 12" x 14" at 150-200 dpi). I'll post any other dimensions and requirements in the thread as I discover them (hopefully the next day or two).
Is somebody willing to take a stab at hand-illustrating the Crest? It would be nice to see something not quite so "perfect" and not quite so static.
Looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with!!
(yes, I am checking the threads, even if I'm not posting )
edit:
Sent to me via PM (I appreciate it, but let's try to keep everything here)
Also, if you want to include text on your designs, please also provide me with a text-free version. These images should have transparent backgrounds, and I can accept/read PSD files (if you zip them and store them somewhere I can grab them). More details on specifications coming (just as soon as I can collect it all! )
edit: How's it going over here, guys? With all the wonderful artists on this site, I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people jumping on this! This would make a great addition to a portfolio!

Yush it would be good in a portfolio, but most are probably enjoying their summer. I myself came back from vacation just a few days ago x3
