this american shirt
while on the topic of contests, I am belatedly challenging the precinct to the this american life tshirt contest. I may be submitting something very similar to my corelle plate concept. ha! or might try using this as inspiration for an impulsive photoshoot tomorrow while on a run on old route 10.
Here are the guidelines. You have one week!
Deadline: Midnight - Monday, July 28, 2008
Design Guidelines
- Your design can be inspired by This American Life in general, or maybe an iconic story or episode.
- Your design should include the words “This American Life.” Best not to have other words, though that’s not a hard and fast rule.
- The design could just be typographical in nature. So you type designers, go nuts.
- The shirt should be something that someone would want to wear even if they don’t know the show. In short, universally esthetically pleasing. Easy, right?
- It should be inspired by the TAL radio show, not the TV show.
- Do not include existing TAL logos. If you want to include a logo of your own design, great.
- We don’t normally use Ira’s image to promote the radio show. It’s not inconceivable that we would like a design with Ira in it, but honestly, it’s pretty unlikely.
- Your design can only be on the front of the shirt.
- You may submit up to three designs, but they must be submitted as separate entries.
- Your design must be wholly original. By submitting a design you are guaranteeing that you hold rights to everything in it, and that it does not contain any copyright material. This is really important. It will keep you from being sued.
