T-Shirt Design Requirements
- T-Shirt Design can be front only or front and back design, pick one!
- T-Shirt design will be something that members of the team can wear and that we can give to the community members as well.
- We want to show something around how fun the arena is and how much we love it. Here are some ideas:
-- Play with the rating formulas in this page
-- My rating is bigger than yours.
-- I'd rather be winning in the arena.
-- Hold my beer. Coding phase is starting!
-- I was winning at the arena before it was cool.
-- Thousands of coders enter, one coder leaves.
-- I don't always humiliate people, but when I do, it is in the arena!
- Use tshirt_template.ai as base of your design submission
- T-Shirt color is open to designer. You can use any t-shirt color that best fits the topcoder arena. Please limit your colors to 2 or 3.
- Do not use gradients in your T-Shirt design.
- Be creative with your use of this space! Please avoid the bottom edges of the shirt and the sleeves as that adds extra costs to the shirt.
- We are open to any suggestion about the content of slogan/phrase, feel free to explore a slogan/phrase that match with the new topcoder area application.
- Your design must have the topcoder arena logo inside it, the design should be clear and you must retain the correct aspect ratio of the logo.
- Feel free to add new graphics you create yourself to support your t-shirt design. Bring us your creativity when creating the design for this.
T-Shirt Design Considerations
- T-Shirt design need Pop!! Think and design creatively, explore the possibility how the topcoder arena will fit in the T-Shirt. However, don't over design it!
- Remember you are designing for print media - this means no gradients and try to stay away from designs that are too intricate, as they would be hard to reproduce on fabric.
