week 39 - monday

Today I have researched on what a design guide could consist when it's about an illustration contest for a t-shirt contest considering our limited printing technique which is screen printing.
Normally when preparing a design for screen  printing the designer should be aware that they should minimize the use of colors in the design to make it easier to be printed.
Here is what I've written so far related to the design guide :

• Your attachments should be 2 images which are : The .png illustration file + the design placement on the t-shirt. ( You can use our t-shirt sample as for the placement).

• Your final illustration can be both vector and pixel.. But remember to keep the original file if you design technique is digital.

• As far as our printing technique is screen printing, use maximum 3 colours or less and don't combine the colours with each others.

• If your illustration tool is photoshop or other pixel based softwares, separate the colours you are using in different layers.

• Your design shouldn't blow over the border we have determined on the t-shirt. ( check the attachment)

• The resolution of your artwork image that you are submitting should be 640 * 480 pixels. 

• You are free to chose the t-shirt's background colour, ValoTv would take it as your suggestion but remark we might change the colour.
