CEF T-Shirt Design Contest

Jacob,

here is my application for the design contest..I sent you the same to the email address you specified.



As written, the background of the engine is not intended to be of different color than the tee shirt material, but I could not edit it better.

...or a bit more elaborate option, as I understand max. 3 different design submittals are allowed: Baloghdesign2:

...or my last, i.e. 3rd design, to combine COX Tee Dee 010 with the Tee Shirt and 10th anniversary of CEF:





I will send the scalable/editable objects (text, photo, logo) in a powerpoint file to Jacob, if this design happens to be selected by CEF members.

A nice addition to Andras' entry might be to add "Home of The World's Smallest Traveling Engine"

Those are some good ideas akjgardner. One issue is you'd have to ask Matt and Bernie if you can use their images (the Dacron and handle). Also, take a look at the 1974 Cox Catalog hosted here on the forum for good engine illustrations.

András, Is the .010 picture one you took?

Also, there can be no background on images, even if you try to find a shirt that is the same color as the background, it will still show up.

If you cannot extract the background, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Send your final designs here: tshirt_contest@coxengineforum.com

I would really like to have the design itself, not just it fitted to a t-shirt.


This is who I have received designs from so far:

• 1/2A Nut
• Levent Suberk
• nico010
• balogh


If you sent something and I didn't list your name, please resend it.

Thanks, Dave, for the comment. I am wondering how long the full text including your suggestion should be so that it can be readable at a short glance by onlookers?

Thanks, Jacob,

yes, that is my photo on one of my 010 babies. Unfortunately I do not have any photo editor on my corporate laptop and cannot install anything here without our corporate admin support. Therefore I cannot extract the background myself.

The text box used for the text, and the COX logo I made both have no background.. Only the 010 photo has its grey background. In fact, when making the photo, I put the engine on a CEF T-shirt I bought from Bernie a while ago just to show how the beautiful colors of the COX engine combine with the grey color of the shirt I like.

So I send you the actual design in a separate email as a word file with all 3 objects (photo, text and COX logo I made) editable and blown up to the desired print size. I will appreciate your help in extracting the background in the photo.

András.

I just hope Jacob doesn't end up with too much editing work to do. I appreciate that not everyone has the knowhow or equipment to edit their pictures how they need to be, but Jacob's already giving a lot (the prize engine). He doesn't need to spend a heap of time as well.
Thanks for everyone's efforts in helping to promote the group.

I do not expect Jacob to do anything with my photo before the CEF community selects the winning design and that will happen to be mine ...there should be some balance made between the simplicity and visual merits of the design because we want to wear the T-shirt.  And Jacob was kind enough to offer his help, anyway. I am sorry not to have the skills and tools to edit the photo..I was trying to cut the engine from its background but except on my phone, I do not have any tool on my corporate computer.

Using my smartphone I managed to cut out most of the grey background from behind the engine, and this is the best I can do...I hope this will help and also relieve Jacob from extra work on editing my design:



Jacob, I sent you also the modified design with the background extracted.

Jacob, sorry to bother, is this competition on hold? Originally a 2 weeks voting after January 11th was foreseen. Of course we understand you are busy, so please take your time

Curious what you went with too.

Sorry, Ive been very busy over the past few weeks.

I've been organizing everything together to get ready for the poll. Also finishing touching up some designs.

Stay tuned.


Everyone will have 2 weeks to vote on designs.

Thank you and we all appreciate your efforts you put into this..

Hope the new Tee Dee shirt encompasses all of the Cox models, Land ,Sea & Air...Can't Wait to see what you Guys came up with!!!!
