I won the Stanford ETL T-shirt Contest!
The Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders coordinators let me know on Wednesday that I am the winner of the T-Shirt contest I entered earlier this week!
They will be printing my shirt design and giving shirts away FOR FREE to all ETL students! (It looks like they have the whole Nike trademark issue sorted out. After all, Stanford has one of the largest Nike sponsorships in the world!) Here are the final images for the shirt.
Front of shirt:
Stanford Entrepreneurs. Just Start Up.
Back of shirt:
Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders - Back of the T-Shirt
They wanted Adobe Illustrator files of the design, so I had to learn to use Adobe Illustrator, which I’ve never used before. After about an hour, I was fluent with many of Illustrator’s powerful drawing tools. The most difficult part was drawing the Nike logo. I had to use an example Nike logo which I decreased the opacity on and then traced. Illustrator’s drawing/tracing tools are tricky at first, but very intuitive once you get the hang of them.
What do you guys think of the designs? I’m curious for some feedback since I’ve never designed a t-shirt before. Leave me a comment and let me know!
