Time to Design Shirts for GDSA!

The screen printing field trip is on! We’re planning on having two trips, each a group of 15 people on Friday, October 19th, and Friday, October 26th. Both trips will be at 2pm at Giraphic Prints. YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF GDSA TO PARTICIPATE! I’m going to organize a carpool with three drivers as the dates approach.

This will be an opportunity to tour a local screen printing shop, learn about the screen printing process, and hand pull your own shirt with this year’s design! All you have to do is bring your own shirt! As people sign up, I’ll post more details.

That being said, it’s time to choose a design for GDSA 2012-13! Designs should be vector.ai format and be only two color (pantones). You can think about what color shirt the design will work best on for a third color, but remember everyone might bring different colored shirts on the trip! (DO NOT INCLUDE “LSU” IN YOUR DESIGN, THERE’S A STRICT APPROVAL PROCESS WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH)

We’ll be voting and choosing a design for this year’s shirt at the October 3rd meeting. Bring your designs printed out.
