thanks for the shout, thats my first submission so i really learn bout it
thanks y all

interesting placement and icons:)

@ WooowieMrMan we prefer constructive design critiques round here:)

NO.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Are those carrier pigeons delivering the balls? jeez, u can teach them anything. Just playin, its da peace ;)
The birds are critical in the theme of your design, but if you had left out the birds and elephant and somehow integrated the country more thoroughly u could have had a truly lovely design.

I like your colour.

Like the movement.

thanks for the shoutBacks! i can’t see my second shirt. brown tshirt with pinball machine design??????

ET phone FIFA!
I’m with Amy on this one, the characters are a tad marred by the background.

Clever that u playing on the scene from E.T., but u could have taken it much further tho.

Dig it! It’s time we had a girly tee at Springleap :)

Very cute VickyLee!

I would have liked if the characters were a bit more visible

@DuncanBoxie amen to that!

nice idea

A friggin Koala!LOL. Stop lookin through your Oz goggles :)
Nice and simple design, dig the telkom undertones. Let hope our national team can deliver better than our national provider.

colour blind people beware.

can anyone else see the koala bear?

nice idea!

@dotnot yea was gonna leave the text off altogether, but then decided to have it in there… thanks for the advice, will def keep that in mind for the next time :)

great idea!

telkom

I like the colours. Very fresh. I would’ve played a bit longer with the font-idea.

pretty interesting stuff!
Thanks for clearing it up

Hey Guys and Gals

@Chucky - no transparencies don’t work - you ahve to use halftones - one needs to consider that this is paint. So each color is screenprinted

Start by watching this video on screenprinting and your question on colour use will become a little easier to resolve.

Now consider that we use plastisol for most of our printing. What’s plastisol - it’s a plastic based print - pretty much the industry standard and the future of all screenprinting.

There is no real scope for transparencies here - perhpas with waterbase inks, but not with plastisol printing. Ultimately it’s like putting an acrylic paint down, letting it dry and then putting on another.

Your solution is rather to use HALF TONES.

SO WHAT ARE HALFTONES?

The above video deals with the concept to printing and how to convert a opacity or transparency to a printable halftone. The idea with halftones is that one thins the colour out into pixels spaced further apart to simulate a _thinning out effect _ of the colour.

Let’s look at @IntegralApparel’s _Ornamental, My Dear Watson”:http://www.springleap.com/designs/view/ornamental-my-dear-watson which ultimately looks like this:

See how the thinning out of the colour into pixels overlayed with other pixels of a colour below forms a new colour? Awesomeness! This is a totally new level of design.

I hope this helps to demonstrate how (on the t-shirt medium) to visually simulate opacity or transparency and resolves your question about colour use.

sure thing :D

Thanks Stashme!

I think what they mean in that guide is that you can alter your opacity as long is its over a white layer. So yeah, you can get more colour options out of that one colour,but not over another colour…

It is printable though (if you have extra colours to spare), but then you might as well use the colour that the two layers create together

Hi guys sorry about the delay in response to this.
will get back to you ASAP!

i was wondering the same question.if according to the design tips.pdf provided, it is clearly stated,rule no 8,
“A good way to cut down on colours is to use a percentage of another colour”.but still,im not sure if its printable.
hope someone could clear this. =)

crazy! i just spent 20 mins bombing my facebook friends.
good fun

whoa SiCk
