Hi everybody!
Ally here to remind everyone that you can see past contest winners at the “Ally Carter” store at CafePress.com. (http://www.cafepress.com/allycarter)
As you’ll see, most of the winning designs are very clean in their design. They are also very professional looking (I don’t think we’ve ever had a winner that was hand drawn.)
The winners also are also very likely to look good printed up–not too many colors or lines–just clear, simple designs that show a person’s love of the books.
You absolutely can have designs that are text-only (again, if you’ll look you’ll see a few past winners have fit that model.)
But the most important thing, I think, is to HAVE FUN!
I can’t wait to see your designs!
Ally
ps: EDITED TO ADD
I feel I need to clarify that at no point do you guys need to make actual shirts. You should not even submit drawing of shirts. What we need from you is simply the LOGO that will be uploaded to cafepress and, from there, printed onto t-shirts and coffee mugs and mouse pads and tote bags–or whatever else you guys are interested in.
The winning design must be upload-ready. In other words, you’re not giving us an idea. You’re giving us a finished logo. And I can guarantee that the winner will be the design that has the highest combination of creativity and execution (with execution meaning the design looks as professional as possible.)
It may sound like we’re asking a lot–and I know we are. I also know you guys can do it! How do I know? Because you’ve been doing it now for several years.
Have fun and good luck!
Don’t forget about that Luna lovegood and ginny weasley are running! I think a cool tee would be one that says this is my cover in the front(in the letters they use for book covers). On the back there shud b a heart with the word spy in it. Hope u hav a nice thanksgiving!
