Closed for entries, Open for comments!
By popular demand, we're running a t-shirt design competition from now until May next year, to collect some amazing designs to use in
Obernet's zazzle shop.
Your task is to come up with a design for the centre of a t-shirt. It must be entirely of your own design, and contain no copywrited material (eg stock images, lengthy quotes. Short quotes are okay). Have fun with it, though - maybe play off quotes used on Obernet, or characters from any of Isobelle's books.
You must be OKAY with the possibility that Obernet will use and publish your image in our shop, though. If you don't want it used, please don't enter it!
The possibilities for designs are endless, and to try get as many diverse entries as possible we're going to split the this competition into two categories; Text-based, and Art-based.
Requirements for Art-based Category |
|
Requirements for Text-based Category |
- Your entry must be predominantly image-based.
- It can include a small amount of text, but not be dominated by it. |
|
- Your entry must be predominantly, but not entirely text-based (this is not a slogan competition).
- Your text must be readable (no fancy, unreadable fonts!)
- You must still have an image somewhere on your entry. This is an art competition after all. Just the focus of your entry will be text / a small quote. |
All entries must be:
- entirely of your own devise/hand.
- submitted in 24-bit .png format.
- not have 'square' edges
Eg, we are not accepting anything that will end up looking like this:
- must be no smaller than 1000 pixels wide [if in doubt, use this template]. It can be smaller or larger in height, and it can be larger in width, it just can't be any SMALLER than 1000 wide.
- should include the site url somewhere in the format of:
Obernewtyn.net
If you want to brand the url with the site's actual font - we use this one: A Love of Thunder and the recommended colour is (hex code): #3b4180.
