Design Guidelines

We've put this list of guidelines together to save you, us, and our artists a lot of headaches. Please follow them. If you don't know what we're talking about, please find a friend who knows Photoshop, Illustrator or some other common graphics computer program. This stuff will be easy for them, and it will speed up the process. Thanks!

The t-shirt art you submit should:

Be done in black and white.
Make sure your logo and/or art isn't crazy-detailed. Fine lines and shading don't really work with screen-printing. Keep it simple and nobody gets hurt.
Photoshop users: Make sure the image is in RGB or Grayscale color mode, not CMYK
Be sent to us as an JPEG file. Most imaging applications can save a file as a JPEG.
Be exactly 1000 pixels by 1000 pixels. If you think a "pixel" is something from a Disney® movie... talk to your friend who knows Photoshop
Look good. Come on... if the art on your shirt looks bad, nobody will buy it, you won't raise the money you thought you would and none of us will achieve our goals. So make sure you're proud of what you submit.

Make sure your t-shirt art does NOT:

Contain any art, language, images, or other cute references to anything illegal, shameful, demeaning, offensive or embarrassing to any race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, philosophy, age, background or eye color. Seriously... if your Cause, art, image or anything else is in ANY way offensive, we won't even consider you in any way, shape or form. So keep it clean.
Happen to be a photo or a logo hastily copied from the web site of the charity for which you're raising money. Most charities have logos and art that you can download, and which will make our lives easier. Poke around their web site and find something we can use. If you don't see something, call them.
Include any copyrighted material in your design. We're not lawyers, and neither are you. If you take a logo, image, photo, art, text or idea from somewhere other than your own creativity... ask the person, company or organization from where you're taking it. Most likely they'll be fine with it. But make sure. You don't want to deal with a copyright lawsuit. They're not pretty.
If, after all this, you're still not sure of the art you're submitting... send us the art that you have. If it doesn't work, you'll be rejected. We'll kindly request that you fix what's broken, and re-submit it. It's simple.

Here you go: 1000x1000, Black (#000000) on White (#FFFFFF), Saved as RGB JPEG Q. What's a JPEG? A. You'd better find a friend who can answer that. Q. What's a Pixel? A. See answer above. Q. How do you print the shirts? A. These are white t-shirts with your design silkscreened on the front. Q. Can I hand draw a design? A. Absolutely.
