Jonathan Coulton T-Shirt (Closed)
Wanted: 1-2 images
For: Online and Print
Ends: 8 March 2008
The Details
I've been selling the same three shirts for some time, and I have two problems: 1) I'm bored with them and 2) I'm tired of carrying around three different kinds of shirts in a bajillion sizes. I'm lazy, and fickle.
So I'm looking for a new design (or two). Currently the designs I have are each based on a particular song, which is certainly an option, but it might be nice to have something more general as well. You know, a concert shirt, like you might buy at a rock show. I'm open to all sorts of styles and themes - really the important thing is that I have that one "must-buy" item, such that people must buy it.
Just to be clear, the winning design may end up getting printed on shirts that I then sell and then give you zero dollars. But there are fabulous prizes. And of course I will be very grateful.
NOTE: These pics (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/jocophotos) are off limits for T-shirts so please don't use them.
The Reward: $200
1-2 winners will get prizes worth $200.
The winning designer (based on the voting here at pixish) will receive an 8G iPod Nano, color of your choice, signed by me (if you want to ruin the beautiful finish). It will be loaded with all my music.
The top 5 designers will each get a signed and personalized Thing a Week Box, plus free downloads of my entire catalog in mp3 or FLAC format.
I reserve the right to print or not print the winning design or designs, depending on whether or not I agree with the community's assessment of which is the most awesome.
