Design Parameters
Colors: Be aware that the tee shirt design will be printed in one color and the shirt will be a different color (i.e. black imprint on green shirt). You may choose both the imprint and shirt color for your design.
This contest is for the design of the front portion of the t-shirts only. The back of the tee shirt is reserved for our sponsor logos. The theme of this year’s pride is “Celebrate Our Families.” Your design must include the words “Volunteer” and either the Stonewall Columbus logo or the Pride Logo. Although not required, when designing the tee shirt you may include designs that fit the theme of Pride 2010: Celebrate Our Families.
Other Tips
- Strive for eye-catching and creative, but also wearable and practical. Something that will inspire.
- Because of stringent graphic standards requirements, do not use the logos of any other organization in your design.
- Designs must fit the front portion of the tee shirt body. Do not include designs for the back, sleeve, etc.
- You may choose to sign your work.
- Designs should be initially submitted as JPEG, GIF, and PDF file types along with name, email address, phone number and a short description of the concept. If selected as a finalist, you must re-submit the design in one of these formats: .EPS, .PSD, .AI, or .INDD
- You may enter a maximum of 3 designs.
- Judging will be done anonymously and designs will be selected on the basis of content, creativity and design quality.
