Dane Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Due to the sudden demand for a KICentral.com T-Shirt and the overwhelming amount of "unofficial" ones we saw yesterday. We are going to have a contest to design our newest KICentral.com T-Shirt. How it works. 1. Design a t-shirt that advertises KICentral.com. Designs can be for the front, back, or both of a tshirt. 2. Submit your design to Dane @ KICentral.com (Remember to submit the ARTWORK for the tshirt. Not your artwork superimposed on a T-Shirt) 3. The best designs will be posted anonymously to be voted on by registered KICentral users. 4. The winning T-Shirt design will be announced and available for sale on KICentrals store. The design should be made in 300dpi and able to be submitted in png format. The bigger the better for a quality finished product. Submissions should have your real name, your KIC screen name, and your image(s) in their largest format. Whats in it for me? The designer of the best design as voted will receive $150 dollars and a free t-shirt of their design. Deadlines Designs due in mailbox by Saturday night April 25th at midnight. Voting begins on Sunday April 26th. Voting ends on Monday at Noon T-Shirt will go on sale shortly after that. Question: Why such a short span of time? We have to do this in such a short span of time in order for people to have enough time to get their shirts in time for Ride Warriors weekend beginning May 9th and not have to choose a accelerated shipping option. Cafepress says 9 business days for the cheapest shipping from clicking the order button to your doorstep. Althow standard S&H says 4-6 days for 2 dollars more. Legal. All submitted artwork becomes property of KICentral for use on anything we deem appropriate both for profit and non profit. Artwork in the design MUST be all original of the artist. Exception: Designers are allowed to use any photos from the KICentral.com photo gallery or their own to use in their design. KICentral reserves the right to modify this contest at any time w/o notification. KICentral reserves the right to modify the winning design as we deem fit for business and merchandise reasons. Your design should not duplicate, without permission, any trademarks belonging to Cedar Fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popwar Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 but will usernames be available on the ''official'' KICentral T-Shirts? that was the reason for homemade ones not just KICentral.com or w/e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Can we submit more than one design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was hoping this would happen. Thank you KICentral team for being willing to do the work of organizing, ordering etc... I will definitely buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_M17 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm not going to be submitting a design because i'm just not into that kind of stuff, but I will definitely be buying one of the finished products! I just hope that we can order them with our usernames on them. As Popwar said, that was the whole point of the "unofficial" shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm going to submit something. Looks like I now have something to do all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 With the design I submitted It might be hard to try and match the font to put usernames on them. But I guess you could always just pick a regular font for your name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 but will usernames be available on the ''official'' KICentral T-Shirts? that was the reason for homemade ones not just KICentral.com or w/e I imagine you can just iron on some letters on the back. Can we submit more than one design? Yes, but try to keep it under 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah and the one I submitted to you earlier I forgot to put my username in the email but my email adress was zachtn88@gmail.com if you got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePagoda Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What's the policy on using copyrighted material or other people's work (photographs, logos, etc)? I'd assume they're all no-nos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What's the policy on using copyrighted material or other people's work (photographs, logos, etc)? I'd assume they're all no-nos... It was stated in the original post that you may use photos from KIC's gallery or your own photos only. Everything else must be original.

UnrealNightmare Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 when i get home from work tonight im going to begin work on my second design. Anyone who is not competing have any ideas of what they would like to see on the shirt? I think that question might help all of up competing.

Dvo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I won't be participating, but I'm still excited for this. As for ideas, I'm not sure. I think something highlighting the rides would be nice... but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What do we make them on? Paint? This design website? What?

G-Force Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I adjusted my pixels per inch to 300 through paint.net, is this (pixels per inch) the same as dots per inch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnrealNightmare Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I use photoshop cs4 its really a must have for graphic design. It is expensive but its well worth the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This sounds like fun. If only I was artistically inclined. I got a KIC shirt from cafepress, and the day after I got it is when all the talk about personalized shirts started. I'd like to get my username on the one I just got, but not sure how. I'll have to try to figure that out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah and the one I submitted to you earlier I forgot to put my username in the email but my email adress was zachtn88@gmail.com if you got it. I'm gonna ask the same thing, because I'm not sure if I remembered to put my username in. Did you get my entry? It was from jordohill@bellsouth.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMHConcepts Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I use photoshop cs4 its really a must have for graphic design. It is expensive but its well worth the money! We use Photoshop alot for editing of photos, but for creating logos, we use vector based programs, ie, Coreldraw and Illustrator. I can't wait to see what people come up with! And dont worry if you guys cant make it too detailed, I can always digitize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
