RagamuffinSoul.com T-Shirt Design Contest!!!
Colors.
Represent.
Wear your colors.
Here’s the deal.
The community we have here is growing every day.
I think it is time to show off our love for each other with a PHAT design.
Can you hear the conversation…
“Hey. Cool shirt. What is Ragamuffin Soul?”
“It’s a blog”
crickets
I love T-Shirts.
My 2 favorites are my LA INK Obey Shirt and my Hollywood on I am wearing in the Polaroid image up top.
I want YOU to design the shirt.
I am partnering with my boy Dustin at Blirts.com to be the very first blog community doing this.
It is very similar to a Threadless style t-shirt design contest.
The winner of the contest gets a free shirt, exposure, and mad love from this community.
After the contest is over, Blirts.com will print them and sell them.
For every shirt sold, a child will get clean water for a year in Africa.
Blirts makes a profit.
All the profit RagamuffinSoul makes (5 dollars) will be donated to Compassion Internationals Global Food Crisis Fund.
I won’t see a penny.
So. That is it.
I will accept face melting, non suck designs for the next 2 weeks.
Send your desings to thebryson@blirts.com
So there you have it.
I think this shirt is going to be rock star.
You guys are rock star.
Design away.

ADDITION!!!

RAIN IT DOWN
I’m going to design one but I’m not sure of the theme if there is one. It is a Ragamuffin Soul shirt isn’t it? So it needs to say that on it as well as the URL, correct? Any direction with style? Haha. This is me basically asking for a creative brief.
ooooooh, you know its on.
I’m so not a designer … but I can’t wait to see what it looks like!
What image formats are needed?
Are there any rules???
Can I submit more than one?
Will we be voting?
Can we see all the designs??
crickets
Should we use your RagSoul typeface you use?
Are there rules??????????

Hmmm….(designer in deep thought, raised eyebrow)
I’m down.
Is the shirt 1 colour, 2 colour, full colour?
I can’t wait to see the designs… You better post them…
this is so cool. props to you and dustin for hatching a great idea!
not a designer…but “prescious” is spelled “precious” and “noteriety” is “notoriety”. It’s like telling a friend when they have food stuck in their teeth. Kinda awkward but because you care you gotta say something.
I would do this but
1: i have not got the time
2: i designed two creative chaos banners that seem to have fallen into some kind of blog abyss
3: i’ll be honest with this one and say that due to some folks treating me and any creativity i have like some kind of gimp i have not got the heart to open photoshop this week or i might cry but perhaps God will kick my ass next week and il get over myself!
Ok ok i should state that i am not taking a pop at you with that comment Los, im just super frustrated, let me explian quickly
Iv had about 4 years of doing ‘free’ designs for something that was ’supposed’ to lead to a little bit of cash & more importantly some bigger & better design work. It hasn’t, im fed up and last month when i was too busy to do one ‘free’ thing someone else got paid to do it and i flipped out cuz i felt like a gimp! Sad story eh!!
apologies if i come across like angry
And it´s “arrangements” not “arangements”; sorry…
Cool idea though.
Comparing this with Threadless? Wow, you’re feeling really ambitious! No, really, just say you’re looking to improve your Technorati score with free advertising.
All kidding aside, I can’t wait to see what some folks come up with!
Man. I am not a designer, but I have a really cool awesome, PHAT idea… well.. kinda. Crap, I hate I have the spiritual gift of, “kinda good at a lot of stuff, but not REALLY good at anything.”
ha.
HOTNESS! Great idea, Los!
what’s with all the spelling nazi’s? did I spell that right?
Morgan, it actually should be Nazis.
Muahahahahahah.
Los.

Wow, I’d never heard of Blirts. I may have to utilize them in the future for a project!
Looking forward to seeing the designs. I definitely don’t have any design skills (just layout) so I will be sitting back and watching the creativity unfold (and probably buying a shirt!)
wow, what a GREAT idea! I love that the extra $5 goes to compassion. that rocks! i’ll be sure to buy a couple. one suggestion: which ever t-shirt wins, have the company make them in different colors. they’ll sell better that way. i’d like to order one in black, tan/khaki, and blue please! =0)
Haha. The spelling nazi is only trying to help a dude out. I was distracted by the mistakes. If the mistakes can be changed so as not to distract other fellow spelling nazis (or anyone else for that matter) than I would be happy.
I think it’s great what’s going on here and will totally buy a shirt once it’s out!
