3geez t-shirts, seeing interest
ok guys, some of you know either from the previous thread or my cardomain site that i made tshirts before. Im about to start school again, and im preety sure im signed up for that graphics class, and if im not, i will. I think what happened last time was that no one was interested because i didnt use paypal. This year im going to be using paypal (my mothers at least until im 18 and have a job).
Ok, i need everyone to understand how i make these shirts before i get requests to do something crazy that is impossible for me to do. I use a silk screen (which is like a very very fine net) that is streched very tight over a rectangular wooden frame. I make a stencil (which is called emultion) and it is thin palstic with a design burned onto it. I put the emultion onto the silk screen. Then i must tape off the extra space that is not covered by emultion with paper. then i must get ink (which is a jello like plastic goup that ends up hardening after it is put under a heater) and put it on the screen, then scrape it over the stencil while there is a shirt under the screen. this is how designs get onto shirts. Please understand, i am not a profesional, I am just a kid in a graphics class. I do the best i can, but sometimes thigs dont go right and shirts become ruined. For example, there are alot of dumb people that go to my school, they do not have common sense. The like to make a mess with ink and get it everywhere in the shop. This is how shirts get ruined. Once the ink is on, its preety much on for good. I promise you all that i will do my best and if all goes correctly, all of my shirts will be perfect.
Ok enough of all that bs, i need help with the design. I am planning on only doing a one color shirt, not like the multiple colored ones like i did last year, they were too much of a hassle. I want to keep the basic design the same, which is close to the stickers he made. I just took the two lines off the top and bottom.
Ok, i want to take that design, and put the front of one of our cars next to it. This is where i need someones help. I need someone to photoshop a picture LIKE this (it dosent have to be this, I would rather see a slammed car that has nice rims)

and make it to where it is just the car and i can make a stencil out of it and make it look very clean cut. I want to take this chopped picture and put it next to the origional design. I also plan on doing AOM shirts, and instead of this standard car, it will be the AOM winners car.
So the set up will be 2 different kinds of shirts, One that says 86-89 performance, and the other thats says third gen performance, both with the standard car that i need someone to chop and the 3geez.com top part.
Also i will be making every month an AOM tshirt for the winner, that will have his car along with the words Accord Of The Month and the 3geez.com on top.
Every shigle shirt that i make will only be ONE COLOR.
I know this is alot to ask for for someone to chop somthing every month, but for insentive ill give someone, whoever can do the best cleanest chop, a couple of t shirts.
I think the price was ok last time @ 15 plus shipping per shirt, but if i get an enormous interest, ill probably bring it down to 15 shipped. I cant go any lower because the supplies all together cost about 10. :deal:
PLEASE, DO NOT ASK ME TO DO ANYTHING CUSTOM, FOR I WILL JUST IGNORE YOU. It really bugs when some idiot want me to make a shirt of his car, with his user name, and all this crap, with a billion different colors. Im trying to get everyone to understand that im not a pro, and its it extremely hard to do multiple colors, dut to the fact that i am not in a profesional shop.
I am going to do this the fastest most efficient way i can, that way everyone will be happy and i wont be stressed out trying to make everything perfect.
:rockon:
Thanks guys, and i hope that everyone can help me do this that way everyone can get a freakin tshirt like everyone has the stickers. Sorry for such a long and informative post, I just wanted everyone to understand. cheers :cheers:
