Anyone here ok at drawing/designing? Well...

[paul h]

More entries been added all the time! I think now would be a good time to ask for some bc help! If anyone would like to see the prize go to a fellow basschatter a few "likes" might help sway the judges

Here's Roland's entry: [url="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151568091016625&set=a"]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151568091016625&set=a[/url]

And mine: [url="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151566717376625&set=a"]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151566717376625&set=a[/url]

If anyone else is having a go post the link in here. I genuinely don't expect to win but it would be nice to see it go to a basschatter

[Roland Rock]

Cheers Paul, very sporting :-)
I agree, it should end up with a Basschatter. It's only fair ;-)

Done, having looked at all the entries, despite my aversion to FaecesBook...

Submitted my efforts tonight, so probably won't be available to "like" until some time tomorrow at the earliest. Not sure how it will look printed on a t-shirt as there might be a bit too much text. We'll see... [attachment=142592:Final Rotosound GOLD.pdf] [attachment=142593:Final Rotosound RED.pdf]

Mine are up on the FB page.

Some great stuff there, I like it simple and clean. I think I must be at odds with the general Rotosound Facebook demographic, as a lot of my favourite designs have bugger all likes, yet some ofnthe most popular ones are IMO really clichéd. Ah well.

i think these competitions need to be approached with practicality in mind - plenty of the designs on there are fine on paper but many people have overlooked obvious design issues (not least the dimensions stated on the brief)
the fact they have stated 300mm square design area correpsonds directly to a budget they will be working to for the production of the t-shirts (hence my comment earlier on this thread about designs for two years olds being a direct reference to the dimensions of some of the designs)
and colour too will affect the final choice - have kept it to one colour (blak on white or white on black) and the corporate rotosound orange - i would pretty much guarantee they will not go for anything multi-coloured because of production costs - screen printed or heat transfer printed can also have a bearing on the design choice- heat transfer print will not lend itself particularly well to to intricate fiddly designs
thats just the basic production practicalities - then theres the design issues such as producing a full body wrap design which looks great on paper while not taking into account that you wouldnt be viewing the design as such because it will ultimately be wrapped around a semi-cylindrical body

the only design dilema i had was whether to write Schwiiiing! or Schwing or Swingbass but chose Schwing eventually - the orange and the logo ties it in and swingbass is such a well known product that most bassists should make the connection (not sure about drummers though)
