cindilu2 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think it's ok to be two separate shirts. People can by one or the other or both if they really like them. I really like YSRN's shirt that she showed ..so I think it will be just a matter of figuring out which sayings and making the templates. I like YSRN's too! I'm thinking I could make a large DCAT, so if somebody just wanted that on the shirt, they can have it too. According to cafepress's site, a transparent .png file is the best, and I will be happy to make one available (in both versions) for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSRN Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm here, I'm here! Yep, we just have to make the sayings, create the art, submit it, "build" the items we want to offer at Cafe Press, and the buyer/Cafe Press does the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayzorback Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Are we allowed our choice of black or white T-shirts when ordering? I really prefer the white shirt with that red lettering. They are all looking very good so far. Also is the tote bag for BA/F fundraiser out of the question? Were do we stand on the charity thing?

ldyjocelyn Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Cool pin design, and I can't wait to order more than a few! Also, I cannot wait order a t-shirt....or more than a few of those too! I'm so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Wheee! The proof looks good! Thanks again for letting me be involved - I'm excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Okay, I revamped them somewhat - the writing shows up much brighter on the black one now. I also made a template if you would like just the DCAT *** I edited these out, cuz I fixed them, again, further down the page. Keep going...*** Edited June 1, 2007 by cindilu2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claygasm Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Do they put anything on the back (especially on the t-shirt)? If they do, listing the tour stops would be cool. (Even though I still love the "I did Clay a thousand different ways.... and gave him everything I had.... and I have the credit card bills to prove it.")

Looking at the site, it seems you can have something on the front and the back. Do you want me to do tour stops for the back? I think just a solid colour in easier-to-read smaller font would be good. White for black and black for white? Suggestions are welcome! The quote of Claygasm's (I did Clay a thousand different ways...) is terrific, but awfully long. Is there a condensed version?

ldyjocelyn Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 cindilu2, I think one of the suggestions for that phrase (which is actually credited to bottlecap) was to put "I did Clay a thousand different ways, and gave him everything I had...." on the front, and then "...and I have the credit card bills to prove it!" on the back of the shirt. Does that help any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayzorback Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Those all look good Cindi. I like the pin too, Ansamcw. How about a shirt with this on the front: Dcat 2007 Tour Doing Clay Aiken 1000 Different Ways on the back put: With Credit Card bills To Prove It. *shrug* Or something like that. Not much shorter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch Tomato Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I think the only reason I'm scared to add a list of tour stops is because it starts to look like official merchandise.

He had merchanidse for jBT and I think it was similar in size so I hope so. So the pin will go on sale tomorrow. Just need to get my order form ready. I will send out emails to all members and post at FCA. This won't be any sort of limited edition pin. I will take orders for a few days and then place the order once I have an idea of interest... which could mean it's limited edition by default. :Tour3: :Tour3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Tour book = photo shoot = gah! Pretty please, Clay. Okay, I just read on the cafepress message board that you can not have front and back printing on a black (dark) teeshirt - front only. Also, the Value tees in white are front only. I also got a couple pointers about how to improve the quality of the image on black tees, so I will try them out and post any results if they turn out better. Eep - now I'm reading that the process for printing on black is not friendly to 'halos' or 'shadows'. It does not like partial transparency, which is what the effect produces. What is says is, in order to print on black, it first lays down the image in white, then prints the colour on top of that. So, if there is any semi-transparent area, the white background will show through, giving it a white halo around it. Damn!!! It looks like I'll have to rethink the design for the black (if anybody is leaning that way). The process for printing on the white tee is completely different and it won't be an issue. Does anybody have a relationship with cafepress already? I'd love to know if the current design would print properly. They say very emphatically that 'what you see is what you get' on the preview page, and it looks okay on there, but all the advice and FAQ's are pretty clear that it will print with a halo I'd love a definitive answer on that.

Couch Tomato Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 OK now that the pin stuff is out of my hair for the next few weeks, Ill concentrate on tshirts and winnowing down all the sayings. I'll start on that Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) I think I have had some success with the writing on the black tee. I had to start from scratch, but I think it looks pretty good! (all are clickable) DCAT only Edited May 31, 2007 by cindilu2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckiest1 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 They do look great. I really love the look of the black one the best, but I'm thinking white might be a better colour for those hot summer venues...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
