1776 needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
The overall look will be an old style newspaper across the top and some sort of framework where further down the page with text that can be changed out.
I would like a vintage look to it. I don't know if it should be vintage 1875 or vintage 1941.
The shirts will either be black with white graphics (single color) or white shirts with black graphics. (i.e. design should invert well).
The Newspaper name (see attached file) will remain the same, but I'll need all fonts necessary to change out:
* Headline text
* Subhead text
* Paragraph text
...on a regular basis.
I have Adobe Illustrator and its included fonts, but if you need different fonts for your vision (and I hope you will), let me know which one(s) I need to purchase for each text section and please be sure they are available with a commercial license that will allow printing on merchandise.
I'm attaching a file of an old QUEEN t-shirt. It has a photographic image which I don't want (only graphics), but it gives a hint of the feel I'm looking for. Please don't limit yourself to this design, I just include it to show something more than the lame design I made for showing areas of changing text.
*** NOTE: I have also added some other example newspaper styles for your inspiration. ***
This design will be for political ideas and concepts. The concepts will NOT be snarky (or mean), but rather ideas that encourage people to talk. They will have a certain libertarian slant to them.
The name of the newspaper: News Of The Union
The changeable subhead below the name of the paper (Italicized Lorem Ipsum).
A changeable Headline (Large Lorem Ipsum).
Changeable paragraph text (Small Lorem Ipsum at the bottom)
ALSO, I'm starting the design around 2.5-3.0 inches below the collar. Maximum 14 inches wide. Maximum 16 inches long.
Only one color of ink. White ink on black shirts.
Would like it if the design also looks good inverted (black ink on a white shirt)
The shirts will be printed both DTG and SCREEN PRINTING
