Um, Just wondering how big should I make the design in pixels so it doesn’t look all blurry on the Share Center? Thanks
If the image is too large, it won’t post. I wouldn’t go larger than 1000 pixels wide
Oh My Gosh!!! Another contest!!! I am going to win this one, I have so many ideas in my head already!!! Best of luck to all of the awesome players entering the contest; I am sure you will all do great! I think I will just draw the design on the T – Shirt (not the shirt itself) on my 3DS and then transfer it to the ShareCenter. Good Luck, everyone! (The luck of the Irish is *hopefully* with you! ;))
i just drew a couple of shirts! i am going to post them tomorrow!
Awesome! This contest looks pretty cool!! Maybe I’ll enter it. ;)
wow! this is cool. I had a question though. If you’ve won a contest or been a runner up recently does that mean you can’t enter the next contest or something like that?
No, there’s no restrictions on how many contests you can win or enter
Wow, this looks really cool! Just one quick question, are we designing actual t-shirts, or designing a t-shirt on paper?
You’re designing the pattern that goes on the T-Shirt
Ohhhh okay, thanks for answering my question Sally!
Do we just draw a pattern or do we have to draw a t-shirt shape with a pattern on it?
Whichever you prefer
yay!!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Ganz! I love art contest!
Oh, wow, cool! If I remember, I’ll be sure to enter this, heheh! =]
Awesome!! I might just have to enter this! ;)
Taffy! I haven’t seen you in like forever! How are things? Hope you heard I’m back. :) This seems right up my alley. Just need to come up with something original no pressure. “_”
=)
Awesome contest idea!! One question: If we’re using Photoshop to draw our design, may we also add text that wasn’t written by us? I mean can I download a cool font to write out “Webkinz” with? I don’t love the no computer generated graphics rule because in real tshirt design that’s what most of the graphics are :(
There are licensing issues with fonts and patterns, which is why we cannot accept them. While many are fine for limited or personal use, many prohibit commercial resale.
So are any fonts acceptable (such as the Webkinz font) or must we stick to handwriting? Also, can we use digital art tools such as gradients, circle/shape tools to help get smoother lines? Or 100% hand/tablet/mouse drawn?
Generic fonts like Arial, Verdana, etc. are probably fine. Some basic tools are probably fine, but I wouldn’t use filters, and definitely no fill with patterns, etc.,/font>
