Simple, boring, but trying to meet the criteria of something that would actually print and be affordable.

P.S. Yes, it's another V-Tech gag regarding ranged goons.

This is actually pretty good.

On another note - are we actually going to take action? there are PLENTY of good designs in this thread and after 26 pages - we still haven't done anything. We've taken numerous polls on quality of shirts, designs and whatnot, and acknowledged that many of TL will actually buy this to go towards maker (to repay for the shirt-making-costs) and TL itself (not members, but TL).

News?

well if u read the original post.. "We will be accepting submissions until July 2, 2007, 12:00pm PST (2 weeks from now)" and actually not many people have sent me their full resolution PNG files yet.. so only a few of the designs you've seen here can be accepted right now.. im also open to possibly eps/vector artwork..

Obviously the file should be at least 200DPI (you might as well set it to 300 so it can be printed on glossy paper if needed). If you made the design at 72 DPI and just reset the DPI to 200 - doing so the image is resampled and is enlarged with crappy results. It won't work. Using vector is a different deal, but you probably know this. I would suggest to use PDF format over EPS to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Hi All,

Here are updated design specs:

RASTER ARTWORK:

Preferred File Formats:

Adobe Photoshop version CS or earlier (.TIF, .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, .PSD, .EPS, etc.)
Other formats may be acceptable. Please contact us to check.

For best results, please supply your raster images at actual size, 200 dpi or higher.
Screen resolution (72 dpi) graphics don't work very well unless they are three times actual print size.

VECTOR ARTWORK: PREFERRED

Preferred File Formats:
Macromedia Freehand version MX or earlier (FH9,FH10,FH11 etc.)
Adobe Illustrator version 10 or earlier (.AI, .EPS, .ART, .WMF, etc.)
Corel Draw version 10 or earlier (.CDR)
Adobe Acrobat (.PDF)
Other formats may be acceptable. Please contact us to check.

Please make sure all text is converted to paths, curves, or outlines,
or that all font files used in the artwork are also supplied.

Please make sure all placed raster images are either embedded in the vector file,
or include the raster images along with the vector file.

Raster images are often linked to a location on your hard drive by default,
and will not be present in the actual vector file.

Each additional color in your design would add .75 cents to the per shirt price.

Front Print:

The center of images having a height of 6" or less are placed 5" down from the collar seam at vertical center.

The top of images exceeding 6" in height are placed 2" down at vertical center.

Maximum image size is 12" wide by 14" in height.

Back Print:

The center of images having a height of 6" or less are placed 7" down from the collar seam at vertical center.

The top of images exceeding 6" in height are placed 4" down at vertical center.

Maximum image size is 12" wide by 14" in height.

Pocket Print:

The image center is placed 2.75" down from top edge of pocket and centered left to right.

Maximum image size for pocket print is 3.5" in width by 3" in height.

Right or Left chest Tshirts:

The center of image is placed 3.5" down from the collar seam and 3.5" from vertical center.

Custom Placement must be specified for images exceeding 6" in height or 7" in width.

Sleeve Print Short Sleeve Tshirt:

Image is placed on out-side face of sleeve. Image is centered 1" up from cuff seam.

Maximum image size is 3.5" in width by 4" in height.

Note that the final design may change pending consultation with staff. The staff will contact the designer if changes need to be done. Also note that we may possibly move forward with only a front design (unless the back is too awesome to leave out). We would also like to stay away from Blizzard units or designs as much as possible.

shouldn't the quote read "we've been doing it for years" ?

That would make more sense too since tl.net started in 2002. and its an inside joke about vtec idiots as well as a fact about tl.net.

longer sounds better, and it does remind of the v-tech joke anyway.... if you ask me.

...which you didn't.

you guys know that you need a vectorized design if you want to get it printed onto a shirt in a decent way, right?

This is of course going to look better when someone who did the shirt of this picture re-creates it with my idea.

in other words nevermind the white part that has "we've been doing it longer"

the white part does not exist ok? now someone re-edit ^^

P.S. this is still the guy with the feather(as picture)+flaccid's idea.

I wrote that because the thing says "contest" so im assuming there is a winner which i dont like to be. thanks bye.

nice job on the sandlot shirt, i wish the grass units were more vivid but it's currently got my vote nonetheless.

You both get and missed the joke, my friend.

Sure, they've been doing it for yeeeeaaars, but we've been doing it for loooonger than that. They've been doing it for years, we've been doing it for longer than years. We're TL.net, we trump the internet.

This is if I even understood what you meant... so tired =o
