    • ]]>     http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2009/10/29/links-for-29-october-2009/feed/ 1     Created in Birmingham design competition http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2009/02/14/created-in-birmingham-design-competition/ http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2009/02/14/created-in-birmingham-design-competition/#comments Sat, 14 Feb 2009 23:57:40 +0000 http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/?p=3030 [Read more...]]]> A few weeks ago I set out an idea for a CiB charity project involving a design competition resulting in the production of a limited edition CiB t-shirt which will raise money for a Birmingham based charity. Now, two weeks on, I have done a bit of research, taken on-board all of your suggestions and found lots of helpful people who would like to get involved.

    We have decided to money raised will go to a popular choice for a Birmingham based charity: Acorns Children’s  Hospice.

    This is the first call for submissions and here is how it will work:

    • Anyone can submit a design entry to the competition, as long as you follow the specifications needed for printing.
    • From the entries 20 final designs will be chosen and made into 50 limited edition pin badge sets.
    • One final design will be chosen and will be made into 50 limited edition t-shirts and 50 limited edition canvas bags.
    • All items will be lovingly screenprinted by hand and sold online by Cut – Out, a fantasic DIY print company based in the West Midlands. All items will be printed with eco friendly inks and on top quality Earth Positive apparel.

    The brief:

    We want to make a t-shirt that people will really want to wear, so the brief is very loose. The emphasis here is celebrating creative talent in Birmingham and raising some money in the process. You could design something which reflects the creativity of the city, or just your own style, it’s up to you!

    Submission guidelines:

    • The design should work using one colour, if the image is a photograph it needs to be converted to half tone.
    • The design you submit needs to be 300 dpi (usual print quality).
    • The design should be no bigger than A3 in size.

    Deadline: Friday 6th March 5pm. Send your design as a PDF or JPG file to Createdinbirmingham[at]gmail.com, and hang on to your originals.

    Not quite sure what the deal is with this one. They’ve got a DIY print studio and are looking for people to submit designs for them to use on T-shirts and so on. A physical shop is apparently coming in summer 09, in the meantime they’re up online with a website (coming soon) and this blog
