Would you be interested in AW stuff? - Page 5 - Acura Forum

MC Teg · 08-21-08, 06:20 PM

Have an idea floating around. Back when I was a junior in high school, we made our own t-shirt designs in my graphic designs class and we had to buy our own t-shirts but the designs that we printed up were free. I made about two shirts and they came out looking great. Except I forget if you could use only white or colored t-shirts on the hot press

So, maybe someone could come up with the design and we could just download it to a memory stick or cd and bring the designs to a t-shirt maker or someone who embroiders t-shirts. Seems like a cheaper and more effective way than waiting for the t-shirts to be made. Just my $.02.

Chuck - if you want to make designs go for it, if you don't no problem either. My design is nothing special. Took me about an hour last night while I had the cubs game on. Even if no one likes it I may just get a shirt made with the design anyway because I think it looks cool and I like to rep AW. I mean if you're not going to enjoy making the designs then don't do them. I can't see shirts costing that much (unless the designs are full color, which IMO they shouldn't be because pictures on shirts look tacky), I can't see people saying "$20 is waaaay too much" if we have a design that's liked. And the site isn't doing this, we're doing this ourselves. You pay for your own, we only make as many as are requested.

Well, don't take my comments as an indication of interest. They were intended to know what the parameters one needed to stay within. Perhaps, someone should investigate some sample costs for full-color t-shirts, etc. And decals. And I suppose volume would matter. 8 is obviously going to cost more per item than, say, 25-50.

For all offering to design, I'd be interested in viewing. After all, remember I'm an old fart and probably think like an old fart.

**TireMeltingRSX** · 08-22-08, 04:26 PM

Should have my internet fixed tonight, so I'll either post the quick one I did tonight or tomorrow.

**TireMeltingRSX** · 08-27-08, 08:59 PM

Finally back online... here's one I mocked up. I have work to do on the others now that I have internet access

Slynky · 08-27-08, 10:33 PM

Kev! Looks nice!

Where did you get that font from?

The questoin is could we do it so we got that delicious grain in the body or if we had to settle for less?

Cons? Maybe some peeps wouldn't like the RSX "version" but I'd pay for it.

Alterations? Might consider running the text over the car image (with the necessary alteration in text and/of drop shadow).

But, Kev...

!

We make custom shirts, I don't work in that department, so I'm not to sure about the prices, but you can look it up Zazzle | Custom T-Shirts, Posters, Art and more...

coldfire · 08-28-08, 01:12 AM

I was actually just about to suggest zazzle. And I for one would prefer something with an integra on it. Ideally an s2k but we know thats not going to happen on ACURA world.

Cons? Maybe some peeps wouldn't like the RSX "version" but I'd pay for it. I can do others, that was just a quick one I did witha pic of my RSX

Alterations? Might consider running the text over the car image (with the necessary alteration in text and/of drop shadow). that could work too, across the middle? bottom?

But, Kev...

!

And here are two more quick ones I worked on (in honor of Daysie!) Obviously the bottom text could be removed.

The only problem with the "tighter than your little sister" logo is if that was our window sticker, I would never be allowed to park at school.

**TireMeltingRSX** · 08-28-08, 09:58 PM

Like I said, that can be removed... or changed, just up there for an idea

and I was thinking more for the shirts with these designs. For the window stickers I would go something much more simple.

Valkyrie · 08-28-08, 09:59 PM

Where's the "e" in the white one? And what's up with the sister thing? Daysie?

**TireMeltingRSX** · 08-28-08, 10:02 PM

The "e"?
