Title: [IC] Keycon 2015 Posters
Post by: Lastpilot on Mon, 23 February 2015, 23:26:36
Sorry guys, looks like I spoke too soon on this one.

4/21/15 Announcement: So I've been in many talks with the shirt people today and the current design looks like it would cost $25+ per shirt (CONUS) with an MOQ of 200 units. I'm experimenting with center-aligned mockups to make costs/MOQ more appealing, but its not looking pretty.

TLDR; I'm not getting my hopes up on this one, and I will be focusing on developing the posters for now.

-------------------------

(http://i.imgur.com/wP4Y9No.jpg)


Please specify how many shirts and posters you would be interested in :]

- Official lineart has been provided by Duck0113
- Tek80 version in the works
- Waterbased + Discharge Ink Printing = No "raised" feeling and no peeling [LINK (http://www.realthread.com/services/water-based-and-discharge-screen-printing)]
- Please post interest for black color version (likely to be black/charcoal triblend)
- T-shirt will undergo design improvements this week. In it's current state the design seems to be lacking structure elements.

- Poster material TBA
- Poster will not include "Lastpilot + Geekhack" on it. It's just on the mockup
- Multiple colorways and versions of the poster will be available - mockups coming tonight
- CMY + dark gray shown above, both kingsaver and tek80 posters = 8 design variations
- Poster sizing _should_ be flexible will update as soon as I know more information


- Pricing TBA
- Update: All poster files will be available for free public download once GB starts. We will see about making GB printing costs competitive, but shipping costs may be too much for some. This gives all users the option of printing locally.



This is only the first draft, I hope to make improvements as we move forward on this (possible keycon + gh logos) . Final product may vary. I think the posters will also be a fun idea, especially getting them signed by users at Keycon. <3 What do you all think?

FAQ:

- Do I need to attend keycon to buy this? No. This is open to everyone.

Ok, I am throwing my wallet at the screen, how come I don't have a shirt yet??

If possible can we also get that as a high res image for PC background image purposes?

In for two larges. Maybe instead of a kingsaver we should use Bro's 420 Dank Green Edition.

Edit: Either way, having a board on the shirt is sick!

The only other thing I might request is a black option for the tshirt.  I realize that options add cost and complexity at a non linear rate, but please anything but red and green.

Yeah, I'm pretty back and forth on this myself. Since posters don't have a high MOQ, I may simultaneously offer different versions and colorways.  :thumb:

This should be possible since I am using the American Apparel TR401, so we would just add the TR401TL variation. (similar to how CPTBadAss did his GB last year)

I am very picky as far as shirts and AA just don't fit me, but I do like the design.  What does the fine print under the keycon say?

Maybe an authentic tall tee version, is there any way to get a custom one?

On a serious note, cool colors are the way to go. I vote for purple, blue, or black.

Depending on size, it may read more as a design element than something to really be read. I think it's cool either way though :)

I'm game for a shirt and a poster, if they're available to those not going haha

I'd be in for at least one shirt + one poster.  Possibly two of each.

Throwing my vote in for a black shirt option.

Awww yeeee. American Apparel shirts  <3.



I'm a little conflicted about the artwork. I think the placement is throwing me off. Seems a little haphazard. Is it possible to see the art moved up towards the chest a little? Currently I'm *way* more into the poster than the shirt. I do like the colorway though.

I agree with you, I also have been feeling that way about the shirt. I hope to have an updated version by the weekend.

I would love a poster but will they be okay to be shipped to the UK and what size will the poster be? A standard Maxi poster size 61×91.5cm to allow them to be framed?

Just fyi, there may be as many as 10 different poster variations. Cyan, magenta and yellow versions will be made in addition to the dark gray.

And then there will be the size variations tba...

Black (or dark grey w/e) shirt would be nice, as long as they go up to like 4-5x

If LastPilot is in fact going with American Apparel 2001 (http://store.americanapparel.net/fine-jersey-short-sleeve-t-shirt_2001) or a similar AA shirt, I believe they only go up to 3X. When I ran my buy last year (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59117.0), I only had sizes up to 3X.

Edit:

This should be possible since I am using the American Apparel TR401, so we would just add the TR401TL variation. (similar to how CPTBadAss did his GB last year)

Looks like LastPilot is going with this shirt which only goes up to 2XL (http://store.americanapparel.net/tri-blend-short-sleeve-track-shirt_tr401). Tall only goes up to XL (http://store.americanapparel.net/tri-blend-short-sleeve-tall-tee_tr401tl).

A tall should be able to do that. LastPilot can correct me or someone who bought one of the 2001TL shirts from my buy can offer an opinion.

For the AA t-shirt I'd personally prefer their 50/50 cotton/poly blend instead of 50/25/25 cotton/poly/rayon, but I'll take either over the awful 100% cotton ones.

Anyways, in for a t-shirt as long as it's a blend.

Sorry guys, looks like I spoke too soon on this one.

Announcement: So I've been in many talks with the shirt people today and the current design looks like it would cost $25+ per shirt (CONUS) with an MOQ of 200 units. I'm experimenting with center-aligned mockups to make costs more appealing, but its not looking pretty.

TLDR; I'm not getting my hopes up on this one, and I will be focusing on developing the posters for now.

If shirts do get made, I'd be in for one or two.
