Hi Everyone,
We are close to launching our next David-Cook.org charity project and we are in need of some help with a new David-Cook.org exclusive T-shirt design.
Since our favorite web nerd, Travis is busy designing a new look for the site, to be launched on Nov. 18th we are reaching out to you for help
We are looking for someone who would be interested in designing a t-shirt graphic.
I've listed the details below:

1. png graphic file approx. 1600 x 1800 in size. When the image is placed on the tee we would like it to be 9"
high by 7.5" wide.
2. Transparent background
3. Hand outline to be thicker than in the example and in purple ink. (Warning: this may change to black ink)
4. All other wording in black ink.

We have narrowed the design down to two options which I have attached below. Please excuse my examples, I really have no graphic skills what so ever but I wanted to be able to show you what we are looking for since it's hard for me to explain.
Link to Design A
Link to Design D


I have also attached the picture which was the inspiration for the t-shirt design. We would like the hand design to look as close as possible to David's hand in this picture. You do NOT need to use the hand design in the examples I provided. This was only my feeble attempt made at drawing
We are planning on launching this project this Saturday, but since we know most of you have jobs or school it's not necessary for us to present the t-shirt design at that time.
I'm sorry my post is so long but I thank you for taking the time to read it. Again since I know NOTHING about designing graphics, if I am asking for something that can't be done please let me know and we will revise our design.
If we should receive multiple designs I plan on letting the other mods vote on the winning design.

Please email me at giveback@david-cook.org or PM me if you have any questions.

I hope you get a lot of entries! I will work on a design or two tonight

Yay Emily!!

I didn't know if you would be interested in this or not. I hated to ask since you are helping us with other aspects of this project, but PLEASE submit a design(s)! We really need some help (if I sound desperate, it's because I am )

I can try to make one...since I can't really help with any of the actual charity efforts myself, I'd like to be able to help in other ways.

I have a friend who is a graphics designer. You should have seen the shirts he designed for our gaming forum I'll ask him if he could do something for us

bump.

I have no designing skills, but gonna help by bumping

Thank you Kitunen. I look forward to seeing your design. We are always looking for fellow members who would like to help with David-Cook.org projects. I will be sure to add your name to our list so we can call on you for future projects.

Thank you Karen. Of course we would love that especially since you were the one who came up with the name for our David-Cook.org American Cancer Society pages and the name for this project!

Thank you emily_pebbily!

I'll send you a pm shortly.

I heard back from my friend...he said he'd be willing to help out for such a worthy cause..yay!

As soon as I get it from him, I'll post it

Here's mine...I did them last night. They're all basically the same, the fonts are just different.

Yay! That is such great news!

Thank you so much Kitunen for taking the time to design these! I like the 3rd and 4th ones best but I like them all! I'm so glad I'm going to ask the mods to choose, because I LIKE THEM ALL!!

Hi there! Here are some designs I made for the t-shirt! Any of the fonts are easily changed as well as the embellishments. If you choose to use one, let me know and I'll send the transparent copy. Please feel free to contact me for help with any future projects as well.

Everyone has such nice designs! I'm afraid I probably won't have enough time to come up with any more versions, but it looks like you have a lot to choose from now. Silly job

Wow! Those are amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to create these! I'm thrilled that you would like to help with future projects too! I will add your name to our list. We here at D-C.org are like one big family and we love when we can find members who want to be involved with projects!

Jodi - yours came out really nice.

Wow! I love these! I like the last one!

me too

Great job Jordi!

I'm so glad you guys like them! I'm happy to be of service!

Wow, there is a lot of talent in this crowd! It was so much fun to look at your designs, and there were so many really nice options. The shirt is going to be fabulous.

I just wanted to thank all of you who have submitted designs so far. Without a doubt, D-C.org members have some serious talent!

I wanted to give you an update and let you all know we are still accepting designs. For those of you that have already submitted designs, there is no limit so if you come up with another idea please feel free to submit it!

Great job everyone and Travis and the rest of the D-C.org team really appreciates your help!

My friend wanted to know what kind of time frame we were looking at?

Karen I'll send you a pm.

thanks
hookedoncook

Okay, I'll try to come up with something and send it ASAP.

Oh thank you! We would love if you submitted a design or 2.

I wanted to let you all know that we have made our decision on the shirt designs. Yes, that's right, I said designs. We were so thrilled to recieve so many wonderful designs that we decided to add multiple designs to the shop instead of just one!
Your designs should be available for sale within the next week! Please stop by the Operation Give Back sub-forum for more details.
