Conclave T-Shirts

[Brother_Brimstone]

Awesome, my thanks once again for taking on this task.

The only other thing, and I'm sorry to be a pest, but would you possibly be able to cut off the cables/neaten them for a HQ front image along these lines:



So we have a version for the breast. You don't have to change the inside of the I to fit that at all, just try and make the cables seem more self-contained.

Apologies for the request; I would do it myself, but my knowledge of digital image work extends no further than basic MS paint, and I have a feeling  that if i do it there, the resulting image will probably lose quality.

Once again, I'm not hassling you for immediacy at all - any time before the 24th is brilliant.

Collectively, the wallets of we, the t-shirt buyers, thank you :p

[MarcoSkoll]

Ahead of you there. The whole image is in layers, so I can easily hide/delete/move/scale/etc the different layers independently of each other. All the cables are on their own layer, so I can just get rid of them (or, if copying that version more diligently, clone the ones going into the side of the skull onto their own layer).

Don't fool yourself into believing that I'm exactly savoir-faire myself. I use a budget version of Photoshop that's four versions out of date.

However, I'm very very good at winging it.

...Every time I've ever done anything ever.

For me! 15 is a bargain.

One order of "Bug me over this please".

My internal clock is absolutely shocking at keeping track of times and dates, so frankly you're all more than a mite lucky it didn't slip my mind entirely!

[MarcoSkoll]

I'm disappointed in you. Not one person saw fit to bug me after my request. I had to bug myself.

Anyway, I may go back and tweak these slightly if I find the time in the next day or so, but these versions should suffice.




These are the 1/8th size versions, click through for the full size versions.

Hopefully large enough for the job. I was aiming for a reasonable excess over 300 dpi at "back of T-shirt size", but it's only now that it occurs to me I should have looked appropriate dpi figures up.
Mind you, 300 dpi would make a good poster print, so I can't see it being a problem for a T-shirt.

[Brother_Brimstone]

Right guys, now Marco's done these high-res versions, which I've forwarded on, I'll start taking orders. As I say, the plan is that I'll take orders now and then you can pay me at the summer conclave, and I'll give you the shirt.

So, what I need from people is a name for the shirt and a size. I'll say that the deadline is the 28th, so people have a week to get in their orders. I know it seems relatively soon, but if I leave the deadline as indefinite, things will be put off indefinitely and likely end up not being ready for the summer clave.

Remember; only order if you know you'll be coming to the Summer Clave, as any order to be mailed out should be sorted with me separatel;y via PM, as i'll have to charge postage. The shirts will cost NO MORE THAN £15, but may be a bit less, if we're lucky (i make no promises; assume it'll be 15 and then if i can do it for less it'll be a nice surprise!)

Example order:

Hi, I would like 1 t-shirt in size M with Brother_Brimstone and Richard as the name.

[greenstuff_gav]

Hi, I would like 1 t-shirt in size XL with GREENSTUFF and GAV as the name please

[MarcoSkoll]

Is there a reference somewhere as to the dimensions of these T-shirt sizes?

It varies enough between manufacturers that I've got everything between S and XL in my wardrobe.

[Glorioski]

I know I don't really contribute much to this community these days (other than paying for the domain name), but I dug through the spider-infested archives of the inbox on my old abandoned email account to try to assist in this topic.

The logo and banner was designed in March 2008 by Scott Johnston (http://jnstn.com/) who approached me after I flagged for a need of graphic design folks for Dark Magenta and the New New Conclave.

Sadly, I don't have any higher resolution versions of the image, or any vector files. Scott might, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Hey, I'm Scott. Got your e-mail. I may still have the files for the logo but I'm pretty sure it's not a vector. It was just a really high res photoshop effort.

[Glorioski]

Found the original PSD. Not a vector but it's high resolution and all in layers so I can take away the wires and things if you want.

[Bloodpact]

Am i too late for this?

If not, I'll definitely take one. Bloodpact and Jimmer. Just 1 should be fine in size Medium.

How is payment being handled?

[Brother_Brimstone]

Greetings from China!

Apologies I've been nigh-on absent from this for so long, but as I warned before, I've been teaching in China for the past month and a half, and my internet has been sporadic and my attention divided. The t-shirt sizes as I have been given are as follows:

SML = 35"

MED = 38"

LRG = 42"

XL = 46"

XXL = 51"

(sizes given are chest sizes).

The way I plan on doing this is getting all the orders in now, and then having you guys pay me for them at the Summer Clave on the 15th, at which point I will give them to you, thus avoiding postage cost for you, and logistical headaches for me. Remember, though - by putting in the order, you're agreeing to buy the shirt! As stressed many times, I won't be making profit from this, but neither can I afford to make a loss!

-If you can't attend the Summer Clave, send me a PM (as someone already has done) and we can talk about getting one mailed out (but you'll have to pay to cover the postage).

-The base price of the tees will be no less than £10 and no more than £15

-When you place an order say the size, upper name (conclave user name) and lower name (real name)

-The deadline for all orders is now 25th August

These are the absolutely final, set in stone details!

If anyone has already ordered and won't be at the Summer Clave to get the shirt, either PM me asking about postage, or post to say you'd like to retract your order.

Please work with me to make this as smooth as possible - my only goal here is to get some snazzy Conclave tees made for as cheap as possible, and the best way to ensure things go as they should is for you guys communicate with me as well as possible!

The orders we have thus far are:

-Greenstuff Gav - XL
-Bloodpact - M

A few others have expressed interest, but are yet to specify size and names. I'll try and look at this thread as regularly as rural chinese internet allows to answer any more questions in the meantime, but unless people need to know more, to place an order I need a post detailing size and names (if you're coming to the Summer Clave) or a PM with the same details expressing interest in postage if not by the 25th August.

Sorry for all the bold and official-sounding wording, between sorting holidays and summer internships, as well as working in a country on the other side of the world, my summer has been something of a logistical nightmare

Still, I'm sure it'll all be worth it once we have the shirts made

[Van Helser]

I'll need a large please (42").

For the names.

I'll be at the Autumn (are we still calling September summer?) Conclave to collect.

[MarcoSkoll]

I should fit a medium, unless at some point I go on a mega binge or fitness drive.

And given the consensus on how names are being done:
MarcoSkoll
David

I add I will not be amused if I end up with MakroSkull. (I don't think anyone's ever garbled it that badly, but various combinations of Marko, Skull and Macro have been used on occasion.)

I'll be at the Autumn (are we still calling September summer?) Conclave to collect.

It does seem we've ended up with some slightly late seasonal Conclaves this year.

For the sake of avoiding a total mix-up, I'd hope we'd not be starting to call September the Autumn 'Clave. My best suggestion is that they become the September and December Conclaves.

[Brother_Brimstone]

Just a reminder that the deadline for this is tomorrow. I'm afraid if what we've got so far is all we have in the way of interest (4), it may not be worth doing this; interest seemed much higher before! Anyway, I'll see how things go, but if we miss this deadline, i'll probably not be able to have the t-shirts ready for the 15th and that'll be that opportunity missed.
