Beast Skills
I run the site BeastSkills.com, which provides free tutorials for difficult bodyweight skills (one arm chin-ups, handstand pushups). I also give gymnastic seminars at gyms around the U.S., teaching these skills.
I am looking for a new T-shirt design that can be printed by a T-shirt supplier as well as posted up on CafePress. I've been told by my Printer that creating the artwork in an EPS file with vectored art is ideal.
The T-shirt design should be no more than 4 separate colors, for easy processing by my T-shirt supplier. I am fine with less than 4 colors. The design will definitely be printed on a heather black and/or asphalt t-shirt. I have a preference for black, white, and red in the design, but I'm open for different color schemes that would match heather black and asphalt.
Despite my business name, I do NOT want a "beast" or animal related theme. There is already a t-shirt at my cafepress store with such a design - http://www.cafepress.com/beastskills
The text "BeastSkills.com" should be a focus of the shirt. The ".com" would preferably be smaller and less emphasized (as was done with the CafePress shirts). Another secondary text to possibly include would be "Old School Bodyweight Strength" or "Old School Strength". If you look through my site and come up with another tagline, I am open to that as well.
If you check the attached file, you will see the distressed look that is prevalent on my site. Something along those lines would be a good place to start. I am thinking an abstract style design, as opposed to a workout/gym related design, but I am completely open to ideas.
A one-sided design that's mainly across the chest, as opposed to covering the entire front of the shirt, is strongly preferred. Large logo t-shirts tend to be difficult to workout and sweat in.
I hope this project proves interesting. Thank you for reading and for helping me out!
The people buying these shirts will be primarily gym-going males and females who are hard workers, ages between 20 and 35.
