Star Wars T Shirt Designs

[zombiemedia]

Thanks - some interesting designs there - although I'm trying to mix the hand drawn with the typographic...
Maybe they'll accept my designs on their blog though?

 

[Joe]

Just seen these, very nice indeed, looking forward to some new designs especially with some of the suggestions here

Come lads you have missed the most blatant character/tagline combo of them all....


Admiral Ackbar



ITS A TRAP

You might need a few more words to get it to fit though...

Right - I've managed this one - I just need tos scan in the image and finish it off - it's looking pretty good though

Looking forward to seeing the results

It's not on any of the sites yet - I'll do that later - but here is the result!

Love it!!! Not quite as easy to pick out the mesage as some of the others but that definitely adds to it for me

Yeah - it was quite tricky to fit it together and still retain the Ackbariness
I think my designs have become a tad more abstract (in the layout of the text) - but all the better for it.

Compare the Blaster one to say this or the Ewok - I know which one I prefer.

Thanks

I think this is the best yet. I prefer it being more abstract.
Are you recreating these in Illustrator or another vector based program once you have drawn them out???

Thanks PC. There has definitely been a journey from A Good Blaster through to this one.

It's a mixture of things...I start on paper, copy the loose lines into Illustrator, print that out. Trace (by hand) and scan it in - once into Illustrator and once into Photoshop - this allows me to mess about with the colours and distress, but also keep the paths as a vector.

Well the design was rejected by Qwertee.
Gutted :/

 

[PGowdy]

What does that mean? What's qwertee?

This is by far the best of the 4 designs.

 

[zombiemedia]

Qwertee = www.qwertee.com

One of the daily tee sites - I put designs up on there - they get voted for - if a design has enough votes it goes on sale for 24/48 hours.

I've got a few designs on there for voting (including the blaster, yoda and ewok designs) - so I'm kinda gutted that Ackbar was rejected.

 

[PGowdy]

Rejected how? By whom?
An idiot i can only assume. Not only the best of the 4 designs but with the popularity of Family Guy and their Star Wars spoof "It's A Trap" this T would have been an easy sell. It's a no brainer. I'd stake 100s of £s that this Tee would outsell all the others with ease. Sorry to be so blunt if you know people at that company but stupidity always gets me riled.

 

[PGowdy]

Why don't you sell it yourself? I actually thought you were selling these on your own site. If not, you really should be.
I'll sell it for you if you want! I may not have a fancy t-shirt company but i have a semi-sucessful and fast growing ebay business and vintage t-shirts is something i was planning on getting into later in the year.

Ha! No worries fella - I have no idea who the folk at Qwertee are...

This is their FAQ:

Artwork must be your own, you have to have created all of it yourself! Designs must be of a reasonable level of design skill to be accepted, see the current designs as a guide. If your design does not appear, it is most likely as it did not meet these criteria

Like I say, I'm gutted as I really like the design - I'm still waiting to hear from TeeBusters (another daily tee site - but much much smaller) and I've got it listed for sale at RedBubble.

 

[PGowdy]

That's very strange. It's the exact same quality as the other 3 you made and you designed/made it yourself. So fits the criteria perfectly. If i were you i'd be emailing them and asking them what they're playing at.

Got to agree with you here (I would stake tens rather than hundreds though :wink: ). That line, that character, what more do you need? I think the trouble is we are slightly biased in our Star Wars warped minds.

Sorry the idea didn't go as well as hoped Zombie

I don't have the printing nous my man - I'd love to be able to get them out there - which is why I put them on sites like RedBubble - the return is tiny - but it's more about the designs and the idea that someone would wear them

If I knew a way of getting them printed and out to market I'd be on it! There was someone from AllTheCoolStuff that emailed me through this forum - but they never got back to me

Thanks guys - I've emailed to get the low down - it may just be they feel there are too many SW shirts up for voting at the moment - I may resubmit at a later date(?)

Maybe they just didn't get it?
