Hey guys, I've been doing this for quite a while tonight and I made a proof of possibly a t-shirt, it depends on how many people like it. It can either be on any type of shirt except black (but I can make one for a black shirt). Changes can be made to it you just have to tell me. Graphic T-shirts usually run about $8 or so (I think) someone corrsct me if I'm wrong. Depending on the cost of the t-shirt and how much you want them to sell for we can probably make some cash for Korijo. Since I can't make huge contributions maybe this can really help.I would pay about $20 for the shirt and even if they cost $10 to make, people will buy the shirts (hopefully)

Here's the pic of the proof, Remember NOTHING IS FINAL suggestions would be great or if it looks like crap tell meand i'll scrap the idea
I used my car

I love the design, but I think it would make a better poster than a Tee. Will you be making these or have the work done elsewhere?

Posted by: Lawrence914-6 May 17 2003, 06:35 AM

Very nice work.. but I agree with Dave.

I'm usually on the lookout for 914-wear, but that image would look much better on a poster. I'm afraid that the impression would be lost on a wavy cloth surface.

I have seen T-shirts with this design on different cars. What kind of design are you looking for on the T-shirt give some ideas and I'll make it. On the front of this T-shirt will be 914World.com in Porsche Lettering in Black. As far as the poster idea, I have no clue where to get those done.

I like the design. I would go for both: a T-shirt and a poster.

Great design.

Posted by: Qarl May 17 2003, 09:26 AM

That design would look cood with just the 914world.com logo on the front pocket and the full design on the back.

If you are considering having posters made, I can hook you up with some printers here in Orlando.

Regards,

Karl

LOOKS GREAT!!!

Posters, Shirts, Frig magnets, hats, coffee mugs, whatever . . .

$ign me up for one of each.

I like it, You could fill in the 914 with color to make it stand out better (yellow of course) logo on front pocket and pic on back

Hey here's another rendition of it, in 2 different colors
Also added a drop shadow on the text

Posted by: Aaron Cox May 17 2003, 03:48 PM

add some solid color.....yellow is good. the whole translucent reflection thing is cool, but a car w/ 5 lugs would be cooler too

Posted by: rick 918-S May 17 2003, 04:09 PM

Can you make one of the cars a flared car? The car in the back ground maybe. Or a kind of transforming image from stock to flared car.

Posted by: 72Signal914 May 17 2003, 04:20 PM

I used my car, and it's bone stock, I don't think we should put 5-lugs on it or flared fender because it supposed to be a 914, I'll try to find a nice looking 916 since that has both for the background car, but it's hard to find a good 916 picture. If you have one or can find one send it to me, I'll see what I can do.

Nice design....

My first job out of highschool was at a silkscreen company. To get the same clarity on a screen print you would have to have a 4 colour seperation done to the original. (read as expensive). The original is photographed and then the colour layers are seperated out (Black, red, blue and yellow) and from each of these a PMT is created. (don't know if it can be done digitaly first)

Posted by: 72Signal914 May 17 2003, 11:45 PM

I well this is actually in RGB (3 layers)since thats what the internet can do, CMYK is crisp as hell and it would be expensive as you say to do it with the 4 layers. I'll have to get a price quote on it and let you all know. If it's feesible then I'll make one print and post it on here. Also, if the design is cool with everyone I can make it for different colored shirts.

Not to rain on anybodys parade, but you might want to lose the porsche logo in the background so they don't come after you for infringement. I like the orange, BTW. Is that rust on the hood? It IS a 914, after all.

Posted by: 72Signal914 May 18 2003, 01:31 AM

I'm using the car and that could be infringement also, so.....I don't know? It actualy looks better w/o it.

Posted by: dagdal1967 May 18 2003, 06:30 AM

I'd be up for a poster and a shirt!

I like the Orange 914 lettering (mostly because it would match my car!)

Love the design!

Jack Excellent job, It looks great. Being in the biz of silk screening at one time, starting in my high school days. It can be done, a little too much detail overall. And the other thing is you lose some of the actual material when laundering. Something that you find on the fine line drawn t shirts that are silk screened.
Not trying to steal any thunder I am tossing in a design I have had sitting around, I saw one like it and tried to buy a t shirt but they were gone, and I don't have clue who's design this is. I modified it to look more like a street car and a little more generic as to a 914-4 or 6 or whatever.
Just my $9.14 worth of input.

It's not rust but a shadow of trees when it was in my drive way

Posted by: GWN7 May 18 2003, 12:15 PM

You need the 4th colour seperation (Black) to get the 1/2 tones for the fine details in the outline.

I made a couple shirts yesterday with this on it.

That would look really good with the other black/white 914

GWN7,

Brad says thanks for the video! We had it on while working on my car this weekend at SSI. Prolly saw the whole thing at least twice!!

I like what you've done with the car on white, too.

Posted by: GWN7 May 19 2003, 04:51 AM

Glad you enjoyed it, eh!

Did you get any work done, eh!?

Posted by: seanery May 19 2003, 08:31 AM

No way you hoser!

Posted by: 72Signal914 May 21 2003, 05:43 AM

Hey I'm going Friday to get some prices on what the shirts are going to cost. This is going to be on the back. It will probably be a pocket shirt with something on the front (don't know yet)


Any takers. Also, I'm also gonig to make a t-ishirt with the pic in my avatar, kind of vintage (charcoal sketch) with 914world.com in Porsche lettering on the front across the chest. I'm only going to make 1 of each and take pictures and post them.

If anyone is interested in purchasing one E-mail me gatorlca@adelphia.net. Friday or Saturday I should have a price for the shirt.

Also, I'm going to need the address or someway to give the money toward Kojiro's fund after I get everyones money. Let me know.

Thanks

To some request. If you are unsure about what t-shirt I will be using it will be Hanes Beefy T's.
