Hello everyone...... I was out for a long tym... now I that am back..you can expect regular updates..
This time i am gonna talk about the first t shirt I designed for "age of empires"..the game.
Being frank, It all started when we turned bankrupt and became the "wing paupers" of our hostel.. my friend "ORKUT" ( thats his nick in IITM) had this burning desire to get his hands on an apparently mind-blowing Arsenal jersey. Being a die-hard arsenal fan, his desire increased proportionally with tym. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!. we needed it.... Then it hit us.... we were learning photoshop then... so we could use our skills to design a t shirt for "AOE" and " FIFA'08".
IITM had t shirts for counter strike and quake... but no one bothered to design one for aoe.. so was the state of fifa.. we stepped in.... And then started our journey, into the world of tshirt designing... Come along n join us....
Firstly.. colour of the shirt... BLACK was omnipresent... n v wanted to be diff... so we tried diff colors....and diff shades in each color. But it was getting diff to get clarity in the design with other colors.... WE REALISED THEN WHY PPL CHOOSE BLACK FOR DESIGNING....but never-the-less orkut planned for a white one though.
Now that we have chosen the color... we moved on...then comes paper work... a concept is the life of a t shirt, advertisement or a play. So we sat back and had brainstorming sessions... many sessions went fruitless.... but yeah... since then we started observing others' t shirts more keenly... the work done on them, the color combinations used, the inherent conceptz ...etc etc...
and with each day our observation skills honed...
Then after many dayz of raking our grey-matter... we finally came up with an idea each....and ha...this is just the beginning of things.. Yes, idea is a wonderful thing to get, but it doesn't get us any near to a t shirt innit?.. So, We started searching for picz in the net... you may say "big deal..google is a god of all searches!!" ... but we beg to differ... google may look like an ocean to the 'frogs in the well' ...but the picz from google are of very low quality.. n T shirt designing needs a lot more than that...
We couldn't get any proper picz for many days... there were instances where we got frustrated, agitated and rebellious. We felt like banging the comp. Even dumping the idea was a valid choice in those times. But we stood up for each other n encouraged one another....thanx to orkut. Finally, one day.. our efforts finally gave in n we found two sexy picz...
We started editing the picz according to our needz n requirements.....and mean the while.. we needed a caption...
Brains together again..fruitless discussions again.. we were searching for a caption which has "a recklessness" and also a "punch" in it... until... I was eating one day with these thoughts in ma mind... and suddenly "the matrix " (movie) came to ma mind.. Neo says "bullshit !" in it...n it had a tinge of recklessness.. so i picked up the word.. And i designed the caption around it ..
wanna know what it is ?..
it goes something like this....

They say,
THE GREATEST BATTLES ARE FOUGHT WITHIN
We say,
" BULLSHIT!"
AOE @ IITM
"
Hows it??...
i know it is great... :P
done with this i had to make choices regarding where to put the caption and the fonts for it.. search search search.... and i finally finished the design...
Now we are at this stage.... more precisely "post designing " stage...
we are finding the rates required to get it printed.. wil update u guys soon..
