“You MUST submit print-ready artwork when you enter the Derby.”
does any1 else remember when you used to be able to upload your print ready from the web page, instead of having to email it? you couldn’t submit unless something was selected by all three browse buttons (detail, comp, print ready files). i wonder why that went away.
So, what constitutes submitting print-ready art? And how do I go about doing that? I’ve only ever seen the Design Detail and Shirt Comp options, and I haven’t really seen any guidelines for print-ready. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
At first I read the second rule as “You MUST use characters that you didn’t create” and I was a bit surprised.
Here are my guesses for the winning designs:
1: Catchy slogan relating to caffeine and how we all need it so much
2: Cute animal suffering from the effects of caffeine (with big white lifeless eyes)
3: Nerdy chemistry themed caffeine shirt involving atoms and/or the periodic table
I think that you should do your own half toning. I have seen too often of late unprintable half-toning on the shirt comp. Allowing woot to convert your gradients to halftones still doesn’t solve the fact that the comp will NOT look like the finished product. If you can’t do it good enough for printing, then don’t do it. IMHO
I saw these guidelines, but I’m still unclear on how/where to submit the Print-Ready Artwork… the Design Detail and the Shirt Comp submissions need to be pngs or jpgs, so where do Photoshop and/or Illustrator files go?
