Hi
Im'e quite sure it wouldn't be anything if I did, Im'e not good at this 2D graphic thing I would proberly destroy the ballance in the picture ust the wrong type setting and realy, I am a bit overwhelmed and rather see how things catch on.
While I been living in this new flat, right across the woodenfense in to Christiania --- well realy I can say that we are the closest naibour to the free-state , I been arguing myself and any othere about the Grafiti that with each one or two month are made new and distribuated across this round 200 meter long wooden fence.
Various groups, from final projects from the nearby architect and arts schools to the various origininal Grafiti community and Anakist movement , been the creators of various graphics and messeages ------- last month is became to much ; I like most of the graphics even I maby only understand a fraction of the hidden messeages, but when some group from outher norrebro miles from this place , plastered a section with bad amature like cartoon figures and added texts as "kill the police" -- "kill the rich" " the master is a goat"
------ and as this is just opposite my window just at the opposite side of the street, then after 3 different ugly amature cartoon figures one uglyer than the other, then as the young people are lazy and don't finish their work, I and my youngest son took over a section of the display ------ as we just had two colors what we wrote in huge letters was " Saddam ; 2 mill killed. Iraqies Iranies Kurts and political enimies . Well nothing like "down with " or "Praise Hell" but just a simple messeage in just letters.
Anyway I had a good talk with some of the Grafiti painters , and after bullying them and confronting them with trivial issues such as beauty and a meaning with it all, we came to the conclution that most local people acceptet the paintings and fact is that the whole fence are renewer often enough ----- but I have a plan.
You see I have what none of those amatures have, I own a masterpiece of an Epidiaskop, a projector that work like an overhead just much better, and from my flat, I can directly dislay what is drawn on a piece of paper or a slide, and I can then go and paint directly from the projected lines ------ now just wait , maby in some month or some months you will se , and thousands of turists visiting Christiania will see Grafiti carry a brand new messeage ......
whaaaat???
lol.. apart from the t-shirt, someone has to record a new album, Amboy Dukes-style: "Journey to the Center of Per's Mind"... and must include a song named "3dH Christiania"
Paul or Per,
Can we use Per's name on the shirt? I don't want to use Per's likeness, just his name.
per,
i can't wait to see your grafiti graphics. let me know when you are done so i can plan to come visit you in denmark and see for myself the results of your plan for Christiania.
skål for per!
This sucks...
I just haven't had the time to put together an entry... I'm sooo sad! Why does my life have to be so busy right now!?!
me too.. changing the dates guys? more fun.. hehe..
sorry, when you say that all text must be outlined, do you mean that we should tell you what the font is? or do you mean that the text can't be a filled shape but only the outline of the text?
1. due to many requests, we have extended the deadline one week.
2. "fonts outlined" means that the fonts need to be converted to shapes rather than kept as fonts that need to be loaded to view correctly. (in adobe illustrator there is an "outline fonts" tool)
I realize that the theme is "Hi all you fancy graphics lovers", but does this text actually need to appear on the shirt? If not, what should the text be?
sorry, some clarification needed here, when you say that the theme is "hi all you...." that means that it has to be actually present on the t-shirt in form of letters or that the design (graphics, drawings...) should be in connection with the discussion thread?
the words "hi all you fancy graphics lovers" should be present, but doesn't need to be on the shirt if the design does a good enough job capturing the "theme" of the discussion thread. if a shirt has nothing to do with the thread it won't be a finalist, regardless of how good the design is. *remember - the discussion is a little weird and humorous and the winning design should be the same.
Hi! all the fabulous designers!!!!
I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!
do I design with only words or can I add some
graphics, too?
