Oh the w00tness! That’s my T-Shirt!
Picture This, You are walking down the street and you see some kid wearing a T-Shirt that YOU designed! Thats right, we are holding our very first T-Shirt competition and everyone is invited to take part.



About The Competition ( The Brief )
Teen Forums wants some great looking T-Shirts for staff members to be given out to the top Staff Members and for regular members to buy ( dirt cheap, we can assure you! ;) ).

With each tshirt sold we will give away a free 6 Month TF Premium membership.

We require a design for the Front AND back of the T-Shirt however the design does not have to be made on the layour of a T-Shirt, feel free to submit ANY designs as long as you also submit a description of where things would be placed on the T-Shirt.

Feel free to add to go wild with your designs people as you can put on whatever you like as long at it appeals to Teens today. - The only thing we do require is that the Teen Forums URL, TeenageForums.com (http://www.TeenageForums.com), is included or space for it is left and detailed in the description.

Do not worry if your design does not appear as high quality as some of the other members, the Final Design will be brushed up by the Graphics Team here anyway before we go to printing. - This means even if you only have paint or have never done any graphics design before then you can still enter and win!

Checkout the entrants gallery:
http://www.teenageforums.com/gallery/index.php

So whats the Prize?
(updated)
The prize has been updated, you will now win 10 tshirts so you can pass them around your friends or whatever.

You will also win this:

Yeah, thats right, decided to push the boat out.
The winner will either a 30gb Video iPod or a Sony PSP with any one game!
The winner will choose one of these fantastic prizes and we will get it to you within 28 days. :)

But....
Because we are kind we will also help you out a little with your designs, a few things that might help you are below.

I am not too good at designing on a computer :(
Dont worry, you can submit your entry as a sketch if you think you will produce a higher standard of work.

Where can I download the Teen Forums Graffiti Font?
Want it to match the look and feel of the site do you?
The font can be found here: Clicky (http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/font_downloads/grandstylus.zip)
Font From SimplyTheBest.net (http://www.SimplyTheBest.net)

I would prefer to design it on a T-Shirt layout but cannot make my own!
We do not realy require that all entried be submitted on a T-Shirt but if you wish to then there a few images attatched that you may find slightly helpful!
Images From SitePoint.com (http://www.SitePoint.com)


I am stuck for Ideas!!!!

To keep the t-shirts cheap everyone should try and keep there t-shirt designs simple, so that they use less ink.
I also suggest you don't use a wide varitey of colours on the same t-shirt.
by doing this it will costing less to get the t-shirts printed, meaning that you get the t-shirts cheaper!

Shane
November 19th '05, 12:44 AM
Well I will try and keep the colours to a minimum when I finalise the tshirt but if people could try and use a minimal number of colours that would be great! :D

@ The Wheel: Nice designs, think you could try and move the address furhter down or possibly to the bottom of the shirt and try it on the other 2 colour templates?
Might also be good to use the rectangular area to show the design of the front of the tshirt bigger! ;)

The Wheel
November 19th '05, 12:57 AM
ok, sure, I just put that pic there cause I didnt know what to do, but I'll do what you said as well

Maybe add a TF to the sleeve like on my first one and have the same back too im too lazy to add them though

now that I look at it, raise the TF if you pick it too

Shane
November 19th '05, 11:25 AM

Well you dont have to use clipart if you dont want to, just draw a simple design in paint or whatever.

Please don't emboss the writing and please dont add drop shadows, remember this is a tshirt.

The Wheel
November 19th '05, 03:11 PM
the otherones had drop shadow

Bob!
November 19th '05, 03:41 PM
The tf logo on the front, and the one on the arm of the first one looks good.

The people on it kinda make it look like a child support agency tho lol. http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/3548/unsure.gif

The Wheel
November 19th '05, 03:48 PM
so u like the first design?

Bob!
November 19th '05, 04:00 PM
Yeah, just have something different on the front to the dodgy bloke figures lol.

An pmsl at ur deleted attempt, at least I put some effort into doin a piss take :p

Shane
November 19th '05, 06:33 PM
Yeah, take a look at tshirts you own for inspiration.

I kind of like the ones that look like they are from a pe dept. ;)

What kind of pic do you want me to put on it?

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4783/tfshirtback2jj.jpg
Simple, yet effective.

My first show (the pisstake one) basically showed everythin that it ought NOT to be.
In my opinion we wont want to be lookin like walkin bigass advertisements, we'll want a cool casual shirt, that will look good at TF parties, and also gets the message across to let people know about our forums, and the link for them to get to it. The colours used don't vary too much, and shouldn't look too bad if they faded a lil as they probably will do, the text will also be easy to see on most standard T shirt colours.

Course it can be modified later, i've kept the origional photoshop files if only small changes are needed. But I think its ok for a basic insight onto how itl look.

Thats a little plain but I like the concept of just having a TF on the front.

I think I would use a plain font for the URL so its readable.

Bob!
November 22nd '05, 08:39 PM
Hmm looks alreyt as an alternative design but the url could do with moving a bit higher up, and being typed in standard font.

Shane
November 23rd '05, 12:58 PM
I like it cause we can actually print this one. Nothing is embossed.

Also, nothing is trapped in a box and there is not clipart on there! ;)

Shane

Shane
November 27th '05, 03:18 PM
Well once I receive payment I will dispatch the tshirt via royal mail, First Class. You will have to sign for it so I know it gets there.

You will be able to pay via
cheque
postal order
bankers draft
direct debit
paypal
credit card payment
cash in hand
however you can pay!


Buying a tshirt will also get you a 3 month premium TF membership - details to follow in the new year!

Bob!
November 30th '05, 07:44 PM
Also hows about once yav decided teh competitions ended, make a poll and see what the rest of the users think is the best design.

Shane
November 30th '05, 07:52 PM
No, I think I will just stick to the admins choosing the winning design! Bear in mind that this means that the admins cannot enter or win Bob!

Bob!
November 30th '05, 08:06 PM

Yeah, it was not the best idea. Word of mouth or promoting through msn seems liek the best idea to me.

And hen these tshirts get made they will look good to wear and also promote the site at the same time.

Just need a really witty design....

I really like the ideas of plain black or white t-shirts. They go with everything. Black with white writing or something and vice versa.

I like polo shirts a lot, but I guess they'd be out of budget!

I think it looks better with small logo on the boob with address/slogan on the back tbh.

I might do an entry when I finish school, so i've got time!

Cool, nice ideas and would be really nice to see some new entries. We are going to be choosing the winner in a couple of weeks. So far there is nothign that really stands out, so therefore nothing I would choose.

Here are a few thoughts:
Catchy Slogans
Athletic Department Tshirts
Funny
Sarcastic
Face Pulling

Just letting everyone know that there is just over a week left to get entries in and none have yet sparked my imagination or made me think: 'I'll wear that!'.
Remember, these tshirts will be sold so the design has to be something YOU would buy yourself. If no entries are what I am looking from by December 31st 2005 then the deadline will be extanded till the 1st of April

The font you are thinking of is called Destiny and this ( Grand Stylus ) looks nothing like it.

I would probs only use it as the logo part on the tshirt anyway, no matter what people submit. Anyway, I will be adding a design next week because it does not look like any of these tshirts will win and no one seems to really be trying. I jsut want my own tshirt to be going on with.

I think the website address should go up the inside of either the left or the right arm. That way it is still as effective and not too showy.

I think the website address should go up the inside of either the left or the right arm. That way it is still as effective and not too showy.

its not really AS effective because you can't see it, people walking along the street probably wouldn't see it on the arm and it wouldnt be effective. and if you have a jacket on you definitely wouldn't be able to see it, i think thats why most people choose to make it more visible.

I have had an idea for a tshirt now. will get started on it and will post it soon.

January 13th '06, 04:27 PM
hmmm - what if someone then claims another person has copied? it could cause dispute and especially if there is essence of one design in the winning one

http://img284.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blackorngedesign10qo.jpg

- plain stand ou orange and black design
- on the back the url is down at the bottom so if your wearing a jumper its possible it will hang bellow it and still show the people behind you
- collage/ unitype deign with little influence off the t-shirt shane showed a couple of posts back .. duno if the greay neck suits or if its possible but if you liek ti i could also go around the end of your sleeves :p

--i like this so ill probs do a few more deigns for the funn XD --

Shane
January 13th '06, 06:48 PM
Okay, here goes:

The overal design looks good, I like the 3 things going down the centre of the back of the tshirt but what do they mean? Maybe if you used 3 things with a little more meaning to them and associated soem text with the images.

The colour is fine and I like the idea of having a grey collar but I dont know if this is possible to do, if so it would cost more. Nice idea though, can I see two copies of your next entry? One with the grey on the sleeves as weel as the collar and oen with no grey bits, just plain black.

Try an entry of white and black though, I would like to see the varying contrasts.

You spelt Community wrong and I don't like the typeface you have used for that bit of writing anyway, Try the font you used for the 'Teenage Forums' writing.

Teenage Forums should be Teen Forums - teenageforums is the web address, not the name of the website. Thats Teen Forums.

Use the text 'TeEn Forums' (even with the capital E) in grand stylus for the text at the top.

The TF could do with being a little bit closer, reduce the line spacing between the letters.

Below the TF in the font you used for the URL try adding an EST. 2003 sort of thing, you know what I mean! ;)

Try bringing it all in to look more like an athletic dept. tshirt, everythign is usually just around the area of the chest.


Thanks for the submission. I look forward to your next entry. :)

Mattimadhead
January 13th '06, 07:52 PM
all changes done , but without the teen forums in grand stylus and without the grey triming:

colour: http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/1308/2teenforumscopy0tv.jpg
black and white: http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/1100/2teenforumscopywhite9tn.jpg



heres with grey trimming (slighly bright on the black and white one) and still without the gran stylus used on the "teen forums"

Shane
January 13th '06, 08:07 PM
Right Matti:
I would like to see all of these with the Grand Stylus font used. ;)

Could you take the icons out of the boxes on the back of the tshirt, I think they would look better on their own and using the colour of their boxes as their own fill.
I also think that it might be better if you were to use an old style arcade pad (think the square snes pad) instead of the gameboy type icon. Try adding it with a wavy bit of wire coming off if you can.

Bring all the front further up to fit in the chest of the tshirt, make the TF fill most of the box, just a little more than it does right now.

Looking really good Matti. Remember to submite different ideas as well.

By the way the grey bits look sick, I hope we can get these on the tshirt no matter what design I choose! :P

yeah but it was more for fun as copy write would no doubt be a issue :p

Okay, and I think it would depend on how it was used. You cant have a copywrite design on a tshirt as far as I know.

it's not great because im still waiting for macromedia studio to arrive, got it for £75 because of school, woohoo.
I will have better tools then, I had to use word and paint for this because I can't work the graphics programme i have now, and it always crashes
it looks a bit distorted for some reason. It was inspired by the athletics tshirt shane posted earlier on in this thread.

Tis ok as another alternate design, looks good for the type o T shirt so, fills its purpose :)

Also she did that cause itd look more funny usin teen in 2 places on the same side o that shirt lol. better havin it say teenage, then teen, or the other way round.

It was just a rushed design. Made it a couple of weeks ago as a boredom buster and then imageshack decided to fuck up.
I'm gonna make a new one again. soon.

let me know what you think about them all, and which bits you like/dislike in particularly for each one, and i can design some more based on the feedback im given.

when giving me feedback aboit a particular part of one of my designs, please refer to them by the numbers denoted by the filename. cheers, ben

January 16th '06, 02:52 PM
I really don't like the red on black look, and why is there a box around TF saying est:2003?

Also, I think that it would be easier for people to see the address if it was in the middle of the back, not the bottom.

one last thing, when there is a white box with the address in it, why is i white? You use one tool on paint to get rid of the background and just use a contrasting color ;)

Stop Calling Me Cusion Head Or Ill Call U Annoying Names..........BOTOX OVERDRIVE!
whoa calm down matthew *says it in a posh accent*
the botox thing was an annoying, untrue rumour by a complete bastard. having a cushion for a head is a good thing for when you are biking.
but i will stop saying it. even though its a good thing.

And PK ben, good designs, but they are a little too detailed and crowded for a tshirt. for one thing I wouldnt want to wear something that full of detail and big writing etc, and the cost would probably go up for the tshirts, when not as many people would want to buy them because it would feel like a walking billboard. but i like some aspects of them, and think they would work better seperately. though it is up to the judges of course :P

Ben
January 16th '06, 05:28 PM
ok i'll make some adjustments when i get time, and the est:2003 means Teen Forums was established in 2003

January 27th '06, 12:30 PM
Wow that is amazing.

Think you could use the patterns from the bottom left corner somehow in less colourful version?

The only thing I didn't like was the TeenageForums.com on the back and front, I just don't like the font.

And you know, come to think of it. This look incredibly similar to the current design I am playing around with for the head of the site! :)

And the only things I don't like are the smiley face army on the back. Its cute but it would scare me on a t-shirt.

sure, shane MAY not want him to just come on the forums, win the prize then bugger off again and never come back. But theres nothing wrong with him posting his designs and then posting elsewhere/if shane doesnt mind someone posting designs then going away.
Its a competition with a prize as shane wants people to design his tshirt, not because he wants people to make the post count higher, sure thats an added bonus, but not the idea.

ANYWAY I made some designs the other day. Will post them later when I can be arsed/when imageshack is working without crashing on the upload page.

(my equivelent of makin blogs) :P

Keep an Online Journal of your life in General. Post at least once a month. Just to bring some activity to that section. ;)

Looking forward to your new designs Ben.
And keep up the good work Pakstar. ;)

Shane

(I will get around to updating the gallery soon!)

Ben
March 15th '06, 11:59 PM
i've started using fireworks, it's got some great features and useful tools, i'm not really sure how to use most of them at all, never mind make good use of the, but i'll see what i can learn, and see if enhancing my designs in that will do any good.

shane i might start a thread in 'graphics' for help in fireworks if there isn't a similar one already.

Mattimadhead
March 16th '06, 07:06 PM
wow lot of cool entries out of interest did i post my spray design one?

Shane
March 17th '06, 02:05 PM
Yes you did.

Not long till the Competition closes now people. 1st of April remember. :P
Get your final designs in, the winner will be announced 2 weeks after competition closure. :)

Ben
March 18th '06, 10:50 PM
shane you probably already thought of this but i reckon you should add a "x days to go" thing to the TF Comp banner at the top of the page when it gets down to about 2weeks left and then same to count down when you announce the winner

Mattimadhead
March 19th '06, 12:29 PM
yeah ive seen a pretty cool one of those on a sky baner on wannadoo homepage

Shane

Yeah I thought of it and then dismissed it.

Ben
March 20th '06, 06:25 PM
how come?

not worth the effort if it's only gona be up for a couple of weeks?

Mattimadhead
March 20th '06, 07:32 PM
more people might get designs in if they see that theres only s short amount of time left

pakstar
March 21st '06, 11:05 AM
yeh maybe tht is a kinda good idea, but if it was me i know i couldnt be arsed lol

Shane
March 21st '06, 12:14 PM
I meant that I dismissed it when I thought of it. I am adding a counter when there are just 7 days left. :P

Ben
March 22nd '06, 07:36 PM
nice one, i knda like that.

glad you're gona put a count down up shane. i'll do some designs when i see it lol

Mattimadhead
March 22nd '06, 10:28 PM
but with or withut the red gradient?

Ben
March 23rd '06, 11:27 PM
just done a couple of designs in fireworks, they're very similar to one of my original designs, i just polished itup a bit by using fireworks rather than paint, and i think they look much smarter now (not smart as in smart dress lol - there's no bow tie or anything like that)

just i'd rather submit these than the sketchy ones from before. hope you like 'em:

March 23rd '06, 11:37 PM
See Ben. Fireworks is so much better. :P

Ben
March 24th '06, 01:00 AM
i stand by what i say about paint, it's good. (i never said it was better than Fireworks, that would be ridiculous! they're on two completely different levels)

paint is good for some stuff, mainly basics, but people would just never use it because they know there's better software out there, but when you just want to do somthing simple, there's nothing wrong with using paint. unless you actually need (and obviously sometimes you will) all the layers and other features then paint's really useful, and simple.

i will be using fireworks a lot more now though, i like it.

all the time i spent colouring in that original t-shirt template because it wasn't purely white, and it looked very sketchy anyway, and i did it in one click tonight lol.

Ben
March 25th '06, 02:49 AM
some new designs, very very similar to my recent entry, but i'm trying to alter it in attempt to find some way that works better.

Bob!
March 25th '06, 06:54 PM
Amazin designs there Ben, plain enough but stylish enough as well.

I like 1 and 4 the best, though the others are good 2.

1 is nice and plain, but gets the message across pretty nice and looks the best.

and 4 is more stylish with the placement of the words and so on.

Overall very good, i think those 2 should be put in the finals :)

Looks like PhotoBucket is down. And I have not seen your latest entries yet Ben. :(

Ben
March 27th '06, 01:05 AM
sorry didnt see your comments up there, bob, cheers for that feedback. simple is what i've obviously been going for, and i agree with the way the placing of the words works on that one.

Photobucket's working fine now, is it for you, shane?

Shane
March 27th '06, 01:14 AM
Still cannot see the images.
Might be this computer. I shall test when I get home tomorrow. :P

hmmm maybe i should have put the picture on the front

Ben
March 27th '06, 09:48 PM
'doorstep' doesn't seem to be relevant (i understand what you're trying to say) but something like 'at the click of a mouse' (but less cheesy and obviously used before lol)

good luck

March 28th '06, 08:46 PM
Pakstar some of those are amazing at the same time some look like Ben got smacked of his tits and spent an hour on MSpaint.... lol

Ben
March 28th '06, 09:22 PM
the piant ones were just my initial designs, i used fireworks for all my recent ones. (even if i had used paint for them all it wouldn't matter because shane stated that it didn't matter how graphically correct they were; users could even submit hand-drawn designs.)

-Snake-
March 29th '06, 02:27 AM
It was a joke ben chill out lol,
I didn't know you had submitted designs made in paint, Sorry if I cause offence....
