TBCS Art Contest IV - Clothing Design

[TheGreatSatan]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to design clothing for TBCS. You can make a shirt, sweater, scarf, parachute pants, I don't care. Just make it look cool.


http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/444/tbcsei7.jpg
Pictures of the design are absolutely necessary! It's an Art Contest. Also, if you design a shirt for instance, I want to see the shirt with the design, not just the design! Remember it's TBCS clothing, so it has to have something for the site: Web address, logo, etc.

This is mandatory!

Well, now here’s what you have to do to make sure it’s an acceptable entry.

The Rules:
1. Registered TBCS members only with at least 20 posts at the time of submittal. Staff allowed to enter.
2. Entries to be submitted by Sept 21, 2008 at 23:59 Central U.S. Time
3. I don't care about the format just as long as I can open it.
4. Use any software you like, 2D/3D etc. You can enter your own pencil drawings if you wish.
5. Any resolution acceptable.
6. No limit to how much you edit or modify your images.
7. Judging will be done by you, the TBCS community!
8. You may submit 1 design only.
9. Scoring/Voting: Will be done by the TBCS community!

Prize:
1. Builder's Copy of Microsoft Office 2007 (Not Ultimate, but sooo close)
2. Internal ATA LG GSA-H55N (http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/gsa-h55n_1_6.jhtml) DVD writer
3. Medal on the Award System
4. +Rep from me, and possibly many other members

Only one of anything. One entry per person. Your entry can be any type of clothing. You can make a hat, or pants, or a shirt, I don't care. How many ways can I say that you can only have one entry?

[DonT-FeaR]

[TheGreatSatan]

Alright then, better than usual prizes, so who's in?

[TheGreatSatan]

It's almost the Ultimate Edition with everything it has minus Accounting Express. Ultimate retails for $399 on Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116162)

[Ichbin]

Hrm...I'm thinking "HTTP 404 Server Not Found" with the caption "Welcome to TBCS"

[d_stilgar]

So, question . . .Is this something that is supposed to be plausible, or just theoretical clothing? I guess the real question is, is the winning design going to go into production? Does the cost of making the winning design in real life affect who will win? That makes a big difference in how I design. Chain mail, wifi finders and LEDs vs. something practical.

[mittelmeier]

I'm in if I have time. Hope I do, this should be fun.

[DonT-FeaR]

i can make chain mail :) ill make em for like 6000 a piece

Nope

No

No

[d_stilgar]

Thanks! It actually doesn't change my design much, but would a little bit.

[DonT-FeaR]

oh dam there goes my whole design...

to much on atm otherwise i would do this ill submit what i have later

[TheGreatSatan]

Alright, how's it going? Is this the death of Art Contests at TBCS or what?

[d_stilgar]

I'm in. I've got to work on mine today, which will include a trip to the store. I'm thinking my medium is going to be real clothing! However, if not enough people finish (including me), will there perhaps be an extension?

[TheGreatSatan]

Maybe. Depends on the number of participants which looks bleak thus far.

[d_stilgar]

I'm going to have to say I'm out too. I want a real competition, and I haven't really worked too much on this. I also haven't worked too hard because I want real competition. I guess we put this one on hold until we get enough people involved? Is anyone else interested in this?

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm wondering the same thing. We need at least 3 participants, otherwise I'm canceling.

[Cheron]

i have an Idea ill see if i can Finnish it in the coming week if so... I am IN.

Edit: Ummm..... make that tomorrow.

[TheGreatSatan]

Alright, still need at least two more participants.

[mittelmeier]

I'll have one in to you either tonight or early tomorrow afternoon. I'm working on it now just not sure if I'll be happy with it before I crash or not.

[Cymae]

ooo! I thought i was too late. Whipping it up now!!

[Cymae]

Ok, I *know* this is a ladies' top, but I'm sick of not getting ladies tops from where i want >.<

and this one goes hamada hamada hamada VROOOOM :D

I was tempted to make a second one and get rid of one fan, move the other one down and center :D MATERNITYWEAR!!!


And can you amend the prize from the copy of vista to one of the winning tee? ;) If I win I'll even post a pic of me in it :P

I DID in fact get the ok from Jon on using this saying...I'm not mean and heartless...

[d_stilgar]

When is the new deadline? I need like a week from this moment to do this right.

[Cymae]

i think it's just until there's 3 entries

[TheGreatSatan]

Until the the deadline I set forth, no matter how many enter.

[Cymae]

Send your entries to tgs@thebestcasescenario.com before Sept 21, 2008 at 23:59 Central Time.

So when is the deadline?

["Rusty" Dan]

Hello,
I hope I'm not too late for the contest :).
This is my first post here but i read through forums for around two years, but when i saw this thread i knew i got to register and try to do what i like the most, meaning designing graphics.

So here it is :)
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/7294/tshirtsd8.th.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tshirtsd8.jpg)http://img90.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)

I'd love some constructive criticism :)

Yours

"Rusty" Dan

[Cymae]

Ooo...i likey. that'd be nice in a ladies' version too (yes i have a ONE TRACK MIND)

[Zephik]

I'd love some constructive criticism :)

The "TBCS logo" looks a bit like it was just slapped on, you know? Maybe just have the letters "TBCS" in white or something? It could be just me but I think it looks a bit out of place.

On the front, "such word doesn't exist in my dictionary" might sound better if it said something more like "never a bad thing" or something a bit shorter like that. It just seems like too long of a message to me for some reason. /.02

enjoy :)

lol

["Rusty" Dan]

@DonT-FeaR: Great design, but I would make the tbcs logo more visible :) black loves to "swallow" colours :)


@ Zephik: Big thanx for your help :) How does it look now?:)

[TheGreatSatan]

So when is the deadline?


Because of the sheer lack of entries the contest is extended to Oct 8th

[Zephik]

I'm not going to lie, I would probably buy that T-Shirt if I saw it. :) +rep!

@DonT-FeaR: Just a suggestion that in the end doesn't really matter, but I think if you were to put the URL under "DONT-FEAR" and make the logo a bit more visible OR raise the logo and the URL up higher, it would look better in my opinion. It does look pretty good as is though, so good job and +rep ^_^

[DonT-FeaR]

woo rep lol

i made it faded cuz i though it would look bad all shinny.... im not reallt a colour person...

ill change it now..

[DonT-FeaR]

medium...


its a 3style shirt :)

[d_stilgar]

I'm in and am working on an entry. I'm not good at photoshop at all, and budget constraints are keeping me from making an actual item of clothing like I had originally planned, but I will submit my entry soon.

[THRASHER2]

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/2192/modshirtyh6.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

Hey Thrasher2!

[THRASHER2]

Hey Thrasher2!
Back at you ;):up:

[Zephik]

LED Backlit T-Shirts? YES! :D

[d_stilgar]

For my entry, I wanted something that would reflect the site. I quickly was inspired to do a military theme, which led to the idea that the awards we earn on the site could be represented similarly to military awards on real clothing. I'm no good with photoshop, so I decided to keep the entry real stylized. I'm happy with the results.
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tbcs-art-contest.jpg

I wanted things to be functional as well, and also be nerdy, so the braided cords, or aiguilette is made of real CAT5 tied in a slip knot so it can be unwound and used if needed. The pin part of the badges could be a USB flash drive. Here's a concept of what I was kinda thinking. This is real rough, but you get the idea . . .
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pict1440.jpg
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pict1441.jpg

My inspiration for the badges I have in my "Inspiration" folder on my hard drive. I keep images of neat things in that folder; projects, art, sculpture, computer stuff; anything that inspires other ideas in me. I don't always know how it will inspire me, or if it will ever come to any benefit, but it's a good thing to have and helped me here.
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/supermandolini.jpg
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pin05_l_01.jpg

Here are two other items from the same folder that didn't make it in the final design. It could be done, but things were getting too busy. I'm already regretting that stupid wifi detector.
A "greenaid." A reusable bag that folds into itself, but for my design would be a mini tool bag.
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/08-greenaid-1-300.jpg

Here's a fire extinguisher for those overclocking disasters.
http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pinqy_fire_extinguisher.jpg

Here's a cooler bit of function that I didn't include in the design that I'm thinking I might have done. The idea of the design for tech clothing should be that it does more than just cover your nudity. It should have multiple functions and be cool like James Bond, or maybe Max Smart? Embroidered iPod controls would've been cool too, but whatever. Another day.

No more TVs.

I hope you like my entry and that it inspires you. This being an art contest, I feel that a rough design like this is poor and shouldn't even count, but this is the best I can give right now. Sadly I'm a better concept designer than artist, especially on the computer.

["Rusty" Dan]

@d_stilgar:<jawdrop> that's great design +rep

[Zephik]

:eek:

Damn. That is kind of impressive, if only for how thorough you were. lol

+rep!

[DonT-FeaR]

.... you win... lol very nice..

[TheGreatSatan]

Don't like it, but love the sheer amount of work you went through to put it all together.

Especially, the extinguisher grenade!!

http://modsandends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pinqy_fire_extinguisher.jpg

Awesome!

[TheGreatSatan]

Are we not doing the voting this way? I'm fine with that considering the limited interest and response, just wondering.

[TheGreatSatan]

Oh yeah, duh. I'll hopefully have them all posted up to be VOTED on tomorrow. :D

[killergamer]

Its past tomorrow will it be tomorrow? GL ALL MAY THE BEST WIN!
8)<---ME Before Voting--->Me After Voting---->:no:

[Zephik]

C'mon Satan! Stop being such a devil and add a poll to this thread or something. :)

[DonT-FeaR]

lol too right...

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm sorry. I've been busy throwing together a Super Disk for work that has every type of program needed in dignosing and speeding up a PC. That's done, so after work tonight (9p.m. Central) I'll throw it together in Chatterbox??

[Cymae]

Perhaps you should just convert this thread so it's all neat?

[Zephik]

Either or works I think. It would gain more attention in the chatterbox most likely though, especially if its setup as a simple thread poll since all you would have to do then is point and click, something even lazy members can do! :D
