Chalk Bucket T-shirt Design Contest

[gymnastbeth]

Optionals United: Did you make those vector silhouettes of the gymnasts/handprints yourself? They are all so good!

 

[Blazing15]

They are all actually online in graphics. I was just looking at alot of those and most of them are on the tshirt design sites.

 

[gymnastbeth]

Oh, ok, thanks! That makes so much more sense. She had so many, and it takes me an hour just to make one!

 

[Optionals United]

Nooooooooo! i can not draw for my life lol. i have been using customink.com for my designs andd they have some pictures. you drew yours??

 

[gymnastbeth]

I took real pictures of my friends in the gym, and traced them using a tool in inkscape. Then I just filled in the blank space with white and deleted the original image. It takes quite awhile to learn, but I've been using that program for a long time, and it comes pretty easily now. Plus, my friends love having the silhouettes of them! LOL

(as for the handprint, I just found a picture of one online and traced it in the program)

 

[Optionals United]

ohh thats cool.

 

[mustlovejumping]

Well I was going to try to design one, but I totally fail at drawing things on the computer. I'm actually a decent artist on paper, but I'm completely clueless about design programs! Plus, the designs gymnastbeth and Optionals United came up with are amazing!

 

[Optionals United]

mustlovejumping. i have been just using a custom t-shirt design website. it works great.it can be a little frustarting at times, but its not that difficult.

[Optionals United]

Do I live in the only area where the name Suzie is also used as a polite name for your ummmmm..... private area?

I couldn't buy and wear a shirt that said What can your Suzie do without getting a lot of inappropriate looks. LOL

[Optionals United]

[Bella's Mom]

Yeah, the look on my daughter's face when she had a classmate named Suzie still sticks in my head.

I have not heard about Mary and Suzie but I did have a Mrs. Beaver who taught bym in high school. When a new school was opening in the area someone suggested that the mascot be named after local animals and beaver was suggested.

 

[JBS]

These are all great! Let's get some more designs in. The contest will remain open until the end of June.

 

[Optionals United]
