The Great EduGeek T-Shirt competition of 2006 (Prizes kindly

The Great EduGeek T-Shirt competition of 2006 (Prizes kindly donated

by NETGEAR)

 

From the Dawn of Time, the human race has searched to create an

identity for itself. Wars have been fought, marriages have broken

down, tears have been shed ...

 

And then came the Age of Enlightenment.

 

A rare breed (ggeks) stood above the others and said, "No more! I am

better than this, I can create my own identity", and promptly copied

what everyone else was doing.

 

To stave off the impending sheepdom of geeks out there a generation

of T-shirt were born ... distributing clue to users ... there is no

place like 127.0.0.1 ... the list goes on.

 

And now, it is your turn to put a marker in time.

 

Edugeek wants you!

 

The Staff of EduGeek hereby announce the Great EduGeek T-Shirt

Competition of 2006.

 

We have very kindly had a donation of Prizes from NETGEAR, more

details of which are below.

 

And now for the rules.

 

The t-shirt design must be original and must not infringe on any

copyrighted materials.

The t-shirt designs will be publish on the website and comments can

be made, but Dos_Box's decision is final.

The rights to the design go to EduGeek, but purely so that any monies

raised can be used so that we can run future events that cannot be

covered by our work with groups like SSAT.

T-shirst and cups will be made and sold via a Cafe Press site.

EduGeek Staff, their relatives, their pets and their futureselves may

not enter.

You can enter as many times as you wish.

Entries must be posted in jpeg or png format and during the initail

judging be no more than 400x400. You will be asked for a higher

quality image at a later date.

All entries should be made through the "competition" thread, and

EduGeek staff will the stick them into the gallery when appropriate.

Any queries about the competition, or the validity of some of the

entries should be PMed to RussDev, GrumbleDook or dos_box.

 

And finally ... DB'S WORD IS FINAL!!!!!!

 

Just thought I'd mention it ...

 

The first prize that NETGEAR have donated is a NETGEAR SC101. More

Not sure about the copy right thing though , My realistic one I am still thinking about

One question, can the t shirt have something on either side ie the back and front ?

 

Also I found this quote which I would put on my t shirt if I made one but in L33t so it isnt obvious to staff members what it said, at least for the most part.

 

"Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."

Another one ( not sure if this is copy right ) since it was in an above post so I am not trying to steal here but

 

on one side of a shirt have :

 

Network managers do it with the firewall on !

 

The back side of the shirt have :

 

IT Technicians do it with the firewall off !

 

Or visa versa depending on how you look at it

I am aware of gimp but does anyone or can anyone suggest any good graphic apps I could get for free just for typing or doing some neat textual effects like for the word bright or even light have them shining as though light is coming off of them or something like that ?

Paint.net ? Not sure how good the text effects are but tis a good package.

Here it is, hopefully someone can alter the dimensions of it.

If you could give me the URL's of the app or apps you suggest just so I get something decent, if not I will just do a basic one for now with regards to my above posts if you want and if it does get chosen I can obviously work out a better one later on.

dont worry to much about dimensions etc as we can sort that later etc

Just had to add something on to sysmans above post

Here is a very simple , basic design of the previous shirt with the comment ( obviuosly will be made better then this if it gets selected or w/e ).

Not enough mention of EduGeek though!

 

I Had

on the front EduGeek, Helping Teachers

 

on the back Look Stupid!

Closing date will be 14th February ... unless we get asked to extend it ...

 

Feel free to include the name of the site, the logo (or a version of it that you have done) and something that signifies how wonderful we all are.

 

Just remember ... copyrights must be recognised ... which put paid to my wish of a picture of Darth Vader with the caption "Hi ... I'm Chris Byers ... and I used to be a SysAdmin before I turned away from the dark side".

 

Not that I am trying to paint a picture here ... or say that all SysAdmins are megalomaniacs ...

 

erm ...

 

I'll get my coat.

How about this (I know it's a bit wordy but sadly it was the first thing to come into my head)

 

On the front: EduGeek to rule them all, EduGeek to find them, EduGeek to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

 

On the back: (same as front but in elvish or something!)

erm ... do you want it written in elvish or translated into elvish ... or orcish ... or one of the dark languages ...

 

I am sure I can find someone to do that ... with ease in fact ...

 

Not that I ever used to speak elvish ...

 

I used to speak Quenyan. There is a difference.

 

erm ... IGMC

Whats the idea behind this? Are we going to get some printed and sell for members.?

 

If so are we going to go for a cheap transfer printed t-shirt or something more professional like a embroided Polo shirt?

 

LOL......just before i get my Photoshop head on.

We are going to get a class of kids in home ec detention to make the shirts and embroider them. Any that look a mess will be re-made until they look right :twisted:
