So... Here's the very first offer about the CD liner as it had been discussed in the mailinglist... This one was created by Joshua Rasiel and I simply grabbed it from his homepage And as we are going to have a competiotion for the liners, I suppose this one is just the first so far, but I am sure there there are going to be more soon...
Ok...Here's my "ytse" design, as applied to the Ytsejam CD. Keep checking because I will put a back cover up soon. This is 110 or 120 dpi, about 81k. Notice how cool the binoculars look compared to how they would look on a shirt. That's because on a shirt, it's a lot more expensive once you start going above a few colors. But for liner notes, all I have to do is tweak the file for CMYK and it'll look about the same as you see below, only cleaner. Just a little cleaner...some of that grunginess is there on purpose.
Now then:
And here's the design as applied to the shirt that I have deluded myself into thinking I will still have made.
Keep in mind that this is an approximation of the color I will be using, I can't really duplicate the screenprinting ink I'll use, mainly because I haven't picked it yet. This should give you an idea of what a three-color print on black will look like, pretty much. I will have the front scanned in in a couple more days.
I haven't yet decided how much these will cost. But I'm hoping I can get some kind of discount, seeing as how I work at the shop where these will be made. At any rate, I have no credit card, so there's no way I can order 217 shirts ahead of time. I'm going to have to do this like Prism Records, I'm afraid. Once everything's set, I'll start taking pre-orders, and after a certain point, I'll start making the shirts. The way screenprinting works, the hardest part is setting everything up so it's all registered. It will be a major hassle to go back and do everything again just for one shirt. Therefore: after the first run, I will wait until at least 5-6 people are interested before I do it again. So ya'll want to be in on that first run. The good news is that each time I set it up, I can use different colors w/no added difficulty. So if in a later run, people agree that they want such and such color, we can do that. No prob. That's the easiest part of putting an image on a shirt. It's the other 50,000 steps that make it hard.(Huh huh...hard...)
