Calling all graphic designers.

Can you design the 7 Wonders In 7 Days Official T-Shirt?

Here’s the deal.  I’m offering one lucky graphic designer the opportunity to design the official t-shirt for the 7 Wonders in 7 Days project.  It will be sold on CafePress, the online market place for user-customised merchandise.

It’s the t-shirt I’ll be wearing at each of the new 7 Wonders of the world when I set off in September.

I will also be touring the UK to raise funds for the campaign through a number of crowd sourced concerts on Twitter and I’ll be selling as many as I can at each event.

This is no ordinary T-shirt design contest.

Prize for the winning design:

£50 and a business opportunity.

In these tight economic times, I’m aware that 7 Wonders in 7 Days is essentially asking everyday people to fund a charity round-the-world trip.  For that reason, I want to use it as a platform to help as many freelancers and small creative businesses as I can.

In addition to a cash prize of £50, 50% of profits from the sale of each T-Shirt will be split with the winning designer.

The other half goes to the Trip Fund for 7 Wonders in 7 Days.  Based on figures provided by travel agents Thomas Cook a few weeks ago, the trip budget has been set at £7000 and I need to raise that amount to even start.

Note that only a limited number of t-shirts will be made in the first instance.

Design Assets:

The design assets for this competition is the 7 Wonders in 7 Days logo, written in the Curlz font.

Design Requirements:
These are based on the requirements for the fantastic WooTees contest.

Wants

• The 7 Wonders in 7 Days logo (written in Curlz font) must be incorporated into the template provided in the t-shirt design pack.
• You will need to include the following strapline on the t-shirt design:
• “Are you following 7 Wonders in 7 Days? I am.”
• The design must have a maximum of 7 colours – we find that 3-5 colour designs look best.
• The design must be produced in photoshop, illustrator, freehand or coreldraw format.
• You can only design on the FRONT of the t-shirt and your design must not touch the hems, collars or sleeves.
• The design must be of a maximum size of 38 X 50 cm – the standard screenprinting size.
• If the design is created in Photoshop a resolution of 300dpi must be used.
