AnimeNEXT T-shirt Design Contest Rules and Regulations:
Mascot Design Shirt: Artist can choose to base their design off our
current mascot and/or alien, However DO NOT add additional characters.
Mascot can be in a different outfit then what is pictured. (think fan
art) Keep the hair and eye color the same. See artwork here. (for now
I have posted the images on my picasa site. The website will soon have
all the downloadables you will need). Logo, Location, Dates and
Webpage will be added later by Art Director. You have the option to
add them if you wish. which can download the logo from the above link
and font we use, you can download from here for free here.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT change the shape of the logo in any form. Please no
stretching it to make it longer or taller. You can change the color,
ad textures, put borders, but do not manipulate the actually shape of
the logo.
Logo Designed Shirt (no mascots needed!!!): Graphic Designers.... this
one is for you! Designers/Artist can choose to do a design with just
the logo (download it from the above link). Please include location of
convention, dates and webpage somewhere in this design. If you choose
to do a Logo based design shirt. the Main Logo can not be changed in
shape. You can change the color to fit the design but do not change
the shape. You can manipulate the logo to fit the design as long as
the main logo is with the date and location is easily seen and stands
out.

Suggestions:
Colors: Please keep in mind that screen printing is not standard
printing. T-shirts that are over colored might not come out the way
you intended on a shirt. Though, this is a full color t-shirt, it does
not mean to use every color in the rainbow, or to over shade objects.
In the t-shirt world, try to keep the color simple.
Be creative, we want to see what you can do!
