As the new tour will come soon:

I have found a good store site now which will operate nearly worldwide (USA, Europe, Japan) for our T-shirt.


Now we need a good design, and your creativity again. We had some very good designs last year, but there are always some limitations I did not knew before.

Here is a ´example´ store, what is possible (there are even much more things to buy, I will add some later)

http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=232802&
;op=articles


The limitations are:
If you use a picture (jpg) it can ONLY BE PRINTED ON WHITE backgrounds. But they have some very nice designs with colored arms a.s.o

You see the maximum size of the pictures in the shop - do not make them bigger, it won´t work.


To print on a colored background you need some knowledge about graphic software. You need to convert the picture into a vector graphic. Only 3 different colors are possible with these graphics!
That would work very good on Wim´s design (black and white) - there are some examples in the shop now (Paul Simon as Mr. Spock)
But it is a lot of work to make a vector graphic.


Please: If possible try to take pictures you have taken, or pictures some other fans can give you (they have taken). We don´t want any copyright problems... anyway, if the picture is Old enough, then who cares... Just do not take a picture from a CD cover or something like that. (best would be your own picture, or from some fan here - or make a screenshot from a video ;-) )

Resolution of the picture should be around 1500*1500 pixels.


If someone knows how to make vector graphics and can make one from Wim´s desgin - that would be great.

oh - and about the Text

You can place 1 picture (jpg or vector) and a few lines of text onto every side. (these lines can be rotatet into every direction, you can also mirror them ...)

They have about 20 different font styles, - the usual ones from Word (Arial, Comic, ... and some with more edges)

yes eps

And there is 1 rule - none of the elements must be smaller than 1.5 millimeters (or they can not print it)

(and they can have up to 3 colors)

Nice pictures Bodo, I like the one with shoulders the best, that one would look great on a T shirt. Together with Wim´s front text which is very original.

I´ll now test if they leave these other pictures, or if they delete them too.

(I think it was just the "PAUL SIMON" line in the picture, what made them wonder....)

Hi Bodo! What´s this T-shirt thing all about? Is it something you have to order, or is it something that will be sent to all fans listed here?

The design is very nice, I can´t make a better one...;-)

Maybe it´s an idea to put it in the online shop as the T Shirt for the Neck of my guitar members and we can use it at the concerts, hope this possible tour will not be the last one to wear it...;-)

I saw on the spreadshirt site more woman T shirt designs, is it possible to choose from these designs?
I like the trigema girlie contrast and the anvil ladies baseball Tee.
