designer's description: "When I think of Potential the first thing that comes to mind is children and that they have all the potential in the world and often times they miss out on all they can be because they don’t know how special they are, they don’t realize all the doors that can open to them if someone will just lead the way. So this carefree little girl is blowing her bubbles with her eyes shut and on the back of the shirt the world is floating in a bubble, I want her to Open Her Eyes and not to let her future float away.
And a double edged sword as it is, our world is fragile and needs the children of today and tomorrow to be taught the things we weren’t - or Potential will be lost for all."
The first place winner will receive:
* $1000USD cash
* 5 t-shirts with the winning design
* A unique forum shirt avatar color
designer's description: "Inspired by the imagination of da Vinci. The three main points would be Humanity, Direction and Time being represented by the womb, compass and film frame. I will leave everything else up to the interpretation of the viewer as it isnt a statement on morality but more the potential possibilities. I hope you enjoy the work."
designer's description: "Chaotic doodling while watching tv turned into filling every square inch of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. After several comments from passers-by it was decided that it had great potential as a work of wearable art. Sometimes, you don’t realize how much an idea with no plan may have in the end…hence, my quote, “Potential is the ability to derive from chaos."
Big congratulations and thanks to all who entered!
We had a record number of entries this year. Thanks to everyone for really making this year's design contest a true EXTRAVAGANZA!
Free T-Shirts Info:
While I'd love to give free t-shirts to all the members of the forum, that's just not economically possible
Free t-shirts with the winning design professionally screen printed on it will go out to all T-ShirtForums.com members who have made at least 250 posts in the forum (as of this post).
All the designers who entered the contest will also receive a free t-shirt with the winning design.
The winning design will also be for sale on the site in very limited quantities for those members who wish to purchase one.
I like to have the contests and giveaways have a bit of a learning "purpose" as well, so the winning t-shirts will be professionally screen printed on top of the line t-shirts and hopefully we'll get to document the process.
My goal is to put out a cool t-shirt that you'd actually want to wear, and hopefully give you some ideas and for your upcoming projects.
As a "bonus" to all the designers who entered:
If you would like to showcase your design as an example of your work and offer your design services, you can make a GRAPHIC DESIGNER FOR HIRE post in our T-Shirt Classifieds section of the forums.
This is completely optional.
Please only post there if you want to offer your graphic design services to forum members.
Be sure to include your design entry and contact information as part of your post. If you'd like to include your rates or a link to other examples of your work, this is OK as well. Any questions, just let me know
