FINALIZE

Aaargh...It's such a bad word to me :D No, not really. Here is the FINAL design. Erick & I sat there for awhile at our planning meeting and tweaked a few things and added the AWESOME swirls.



Then--we like the idea of having a design on the back, but the Fonts we were using before do not go with the design--so here's the final:


So, now I'm working on getting it on 50 Ts for an affordable price :D.

More T-shirt Mockups

The creative process is so interesting--sometimes you go through a million different ideas and really end up with something very different from what you started with. I got on the Instant Messenger with Erick on Friday night and we threw ideas back and forth:

The next direction :


We started working on the back:



I was really dragging and knew I needed to head to bed. I got up at 6 on Saturday and googled a tutorial on how to make a radial starburst in Illustrator and found this AWESOME website!!! You can check it out: Spoon Graphics So, not only did I learn cool shortcuts on how to make a radial sunburst in Illustrator--I got totally inspired :) So...Here's what I came up with.

But Erick and I had talked about an oval design--so:


My Mom & Grandma Arrived and I had to stop working on it, but I knew it was a definite step to being done.

Quest Ts

Alrighty Here we go with several ideas for the Quest Ts.
The Energy Drink Can just didn't look right on a Tshirt :D




Another Rendition:






Still working on more...

Lately...

I have not had one moment that is not spoken for, but I want to reattempt to get this blog thing going again.


Today I took Jake and his friends to Starbucks on the way to their house for a sleepover. I was talking to the boys about this year's youth camp and asked them if they were excited. They asked me if I was doing the T-shirt design again and I told them that the theme this year is 'Recharged'. Jonathan said- "Why don't you use an energy drink can for the design?" BRILLIANT! That was such a FABULOUS idea!

I am so excited about working on the Quest T-shirt for this year! I had begun working on a first idea for this year's T-shirt about 4 days ago and ran out of time. Caleb has some SERIOUS Photoshop Skillz! He did the work on the realistic looking drink can while I worked on the design. I think it may end up with lightning bolts behind it. It also still needs the Scripture reference and some other minor details.
So--here is what came of that conversation:


Now--this is not going to be the T-shirt FOR SURE-because this year I am sharing this fun with Erick--but I think it's a great start even if it doesn't make the cut.
