In a venerable ARML tradition, we’ll be designing a distinctive team t-shirt. You are invited to submit design ideas, and we will put them to a vote in early May. Here are the rules:
T-shirt designs must be submitted by April 30th.
All designs MUST be submitted in a vector-graphics format such as .svg or .ai. (Inkscape is free software that can create such files and is decently easy to use.)
Designs consist of a front and a back (make a separate file for each).
To keep printing costs low, you may use at most four colors of ink TOTAL between the front and the back: either 4 colors on one side and the other side blank, 3 colors on one side and 1 on the other, or 2 colors on each side. You are not required to use four colors; some past designs have just been simple white line art on each side.
The design will most likely be printed on shirts of several different fabric colors. It is best if you design something that works against a variety of background colors. In our experience, white line art usually does well across a wide range of colors.
Do not use anything offensive or anyone else’s copyrighted material.
New for 2025: Do not use any AI-generated designs or design elements.
Send your designs to info@sfbanorcalarml.org by April 30th. If you would like help with your design, send it in at least a week early, and we will do our best to help improve it.
