Memorial Meet T-shirts, gauging interest and details

[blueangel64]

Put me down for (1) XXL please. Thanks

Good idea.

We could take photos of a meet and vector them. Or just take a photo of a meet and do some post edit work to what you're talking about. I would donate my time and collect those. I'm going to order a polarized filter for one of my lenses. That could help give us a good start for post edit.

I was kinda picturing a "generic" silhouette type, a "basic" shadow, or negative image type graphic. Similar to the cowboy and cross window sticker type graphic. I don't have the skills, software, or equipment to draw out what I'm picturing in my noggin, otherwise I'd just do it and submit for approval.

That's the effect I was talking about. I don't know if it's possible to take a photo at a meet and cleanly vector it, but it crossed my mind it would be cool if it worked.

I think it could be done if the picture was taken with a solid color background.

My photoshop editing skills are old and my only experience with vector images is from turning vectors into CNC tool paths. I'm sure others on here have some good photoshop skills.

You've more experience than I then.

But, if the pic were to be taken in black and white mode, that should do the basics though. Shouldn't it? Then just use the negative silhouette?

I'm going back to basic photography from Jr. High with this, and I haven't picked up a real camera in decades. So...

What are y'all yammering on about how silk screening is done?

I had to google that.

We don't know all that highfalutin' stuff

I knew a guy at the Kansas City Art Institute who had a contract for a run of 23 color silkscreen t-shirts of an exploding Winchester shotgun shell. It was for a national trap meet. Imagine 23 colors in exact registration.

I'll take 2 with the pocket. Both XL.

1} Desert tan

1} ??????

If pockets are not an option, are you still ordering 2 shirts?

It aint about the camera as it is about post editing to get what you would want. I pretty sure my Nikon has built in filters/effects and that being one. Or monochrome.

Best thing to do is just take pictures and play around. Or take pictures and find someone on tgt that's really good at photo editing/graphic design.

You know what.....I think my camera has an art filter...That effect would make pictures look more cartoon like BUT that could be a way to transfer it to a vector or BW image that might look cool.

Yep..I would rather have pockets but this is for a great cause.

Pockets on a t shirt?

Yep. A place to put my glasses when not wearing them

Most of my t shirts have a pocket. I prefer not to leave phone on a car seat when I'm out of vehicle.

 

[popsgarland]

Our spring reunion t shirt has pockets.

I'll take one regardless of pockets. But I prefer a pocket.
