Steemit t-shirt. First attempt

in #t-shirt8 years ago (edited)

Well how hard could it be!

a logo here, some words there,
make a transparent jpeg and send to someone
who claims they can print it on a t-shirt.

Well getting the steemit logo was easy thanks to stino-san.

I am still fond of the "reimagine everything" quote
i heard from bitshares a couple of years ago so i included that.

changed steemit.com to $teemit.com to imply money.

Has a fan of bitshare's had to get powered by bitshares in there (well Graphene)

and i wanted it on the front and back of the t-shirt.
so the driver behind me could see it when i ride around on my scooter.

I took the logo from stino-san's post.
got hold of a Creative Commons t-shirt template by Ben Johnson
fired up Gimp and got to work.

1st i made the steemit logo transparent. (links were not working just took the logo from here )

was going to do 3d effects but this was first attempt.
so kept it simple and just tried a few fonts.




scaled the images and moved them around till i was happy.


remove background so transparent, and export to jpeg.
front
back

now off to a shop to have it printed on a t-shirt.

and the results :S
i had to pick a shop that does not know how to print something to a t-shirt.

  1. they did not use a piece of cardboard to stop the front bleeding into the back or the back bleeding into the front.
  2. they did not clean what they used to press it onto the t-shirt so its dirty too.


    ...... well at least i learned my lesson
    1.never use these guys again
    2.they used a4 sized T-shirt transfer paper.a Vertical design would of be better than Horizontal on the front.

going to go with 'social media has evolved.' for 2nd attempt.
