T-shirt contest information

Calling all creative thinkers!

I'm going to be hosting, alongside some of my amazing street team members, an awesome giveaway/contest that will begin July 1. The main idea of it is listed in the graphic above, but in this post, I'm going to try to explain it a bit more in depth and give you guys some examples of shirts I've made and quotes that work, etc. First, here's the loot...

What's up for grabs? We're calling it a pick three prize. The first place winner will get to pick any 3 of my novels to win, signed and in paperback form. In case you have some of my novels already, I figured picking your favorites OR the ones you don't have might make it a bit more enjoyable for everyone. Plus, I'd hate to exclude anyone that already has some of my paperbacks. Not only is winning the signed paperbacks amazing, but your t-shirt will be featured in my store for an entire month and remain in the store for a year! You'll be able to see people actually WEAR what you designed!

If enough entries are submitted, we'll also pick a second and third place to win a signed paperback and swag. Each will be able to chose their paperback. Then the second and third place winners will be in my store also for at least one month. If there's even MORE interest, we'll add some blog prizes and even a t-shirt giveaway so you can rep your own creative work!

The contest will be posted on JULY 1 and will be pinned to the top of my author facebook page. Make sure you follow!!

   Quote example

I picked one of my favorite quotes from A Reliant Love and used teespring to create a cool front for a t-shirt. If you aren't familiar with creating images in an outside site like pixlr or photoshop, teespring is an amazing site (that's free to design and use) where you can use their images and fonts and create really professional looking t-shirts. This one took me about 20 minutes to make. Most of the time I spent playing with fonts I thought would compliment with each other. But the fire and match image in the back fit perfectly! You can also customize the style of shirt or chose a sweatshirt to customize the style ever further.

For these ones, I used my "catch phrase" and designed the back to compliment it. These were both created on teespring. I made sure that the fonts were easy to read, especially the website on the back, but were also pretty to look at! If you're interested in using my logo, underneath this paragraph will be a small PNG file that can be downloaded for whoever wants to use it. This file makes sure the image isn't distorted or blurry. You want whatever images on your shirts to be as clear as possible!

Character example

These two are similar to what I mentioned before! Instead of being a t-shirt, I wanted them to be more flirty and girly so I went with the tank instead. These were inspired by the male leads in the Curse Books series. On the back I wrote a simple. "A Curse Books Trilogy" and underneath I put my website so people would be able to look up what it's from. I changed the design a tiny bit, just altering the image underneath to cater toward each character. 

More examples from the past...

If you'd like to use any of my covers or copyrighted images that I personally own, always feel free to ask! Shoot me an email at taylorlavatiauthor@gmail.com or comment right here on the post. I'm more than happy to contribute my images to your creations. Just make sure to ask first! Plus, I can send you the actual images which prevents blurry downloads. Thanks for taking the time to read up on the contest! I can't wait to see all your entries! <3
