Upright Bill Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Uncle Skid and I are headed off to the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop shortly. I approached Jim (B3-er) about t-shirts for us to wear amongst those 400+ jazz students and 50+ jazz professional advertising this forum. He was in favor of such a project. Since we have seen the graphic arts skills of many of the members here, Jim suggested a contest. Design the Organissimo Jazz Forum t-shirt. The shirts will be (at least initially) made by CafePress (I have used them successfully for a few years). The rules: 1. You are designing both the front and back of the shirt. 2. Image Size: 8 x 10 or 10 x 8, 100-300 DPI saved in PNG or JPG format. 3. You have ONLY until June 17, 2004 at Midnight EDST. The Prize: You will know that you have helped bring this forum to a large number of Jazz fans and I will will give you one of the shirts. If there is interest these shirts will be made available to all forum members. Quote

Joe G Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Should've caught AfricaBrass with this before he left. Where's James T. Cat when we need him??!! Quote
catesta Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Should've caught AfricaBrass with this before he left. Where's James T. Cat when we need him??!! That's no shit. With a little luck he will return to check this out. Quote
catesta Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 I already did. I filled it with a bunch of bullshit about how he was missed already. He He, that poor sucker will be back in a matter of minutes. Quote
catesta Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Actually, I just sent him a link to the thread, hopefully he will check it. B) Quote

couw Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 here's some inspiration for master Jeff: (very quick, very dirty) Quote
catesta Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Couw, if he doesn't come back, it's all up to you. Quote
couw Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 that would be a logo for the front and a big blue/orange/white target/circle goes on the back. something like this: Quote
catesta Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Where's the images of porn, junk food, and beer? Quote
couw Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 watch the circles long enough and they appear like magic... Quote
couw Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 that would be a logo for the front and a big blue/orange/white target/circle goes on the back. something like this: or the other way around of course. I think the logo you got is very strong and recognisable, so I would stick to it. Quote
Free For All Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 A very nice target for the snipers from AAJ! Quote
sheldonm Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 couw, Nice job on the art! Now let's make sure they get put on high quality shirts....no one wants to see my nipples on a hot, steamy day . Mark Quote

Mark I'm sure you're right about that, but I wouldn't mind having the option to purchase a couple of the cheapies for a lady or two. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) I have no design skills at all, but put me down for a large of whatever shirt is designed. This is a firm order, I want one of those bad boys to tool around Brooklyn in. people will ask what it is, and it'll be my pleasure to tell them what Organissimo is. have you thought of incorporating the web address somewhere in the design of the shirt? This could help as far as exposure and a quick entry to the website for more info- and we're usually nice to newbies, too. Edited June 11, 2004 by PHILLYQ Quote

couw Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 have you thought of incorporating the web address somewhere in the design of the shirt? four times actually, check the first post with the "very quick, very dirty job" probably a small font mention of the URL in/with the large cirkles logo would be a nice addition Quote
