If we had RetouchPRO T-shirts, what would they have printed on them?

"Retouchers have unlimited redo capability"?

"Dad saved great-grandma's picture from certain destruction, and all I got was this stupid T-shirt"?

The good

"RETOUCHPRO.COM"
"When your not touched by a touching picture"


The bad

"Retouchpro.com"
"beer"
"my truck"
"my wife"

"IN THAT ORDER"

(The above similar to a t-shirt I own)


The ugly

"I will logoff when you pry my cold dead hand from around the mouse"

"RETOUCHPRO.COM"

"Can't retouch this"

"I can make you perfect"

"You can look, but don't retouch"

"You should see the retouched version"

Don't tempt us! :D

I like that design...looks just like an old label for a medicine bottle. A little RetouchPro snake oil?

That's what I had in mind, but I don't care for my font, and I wanted more curleycues and stuff. I thought it went with the old photo thing.

How about a superhero shirt? ...some of those restoration challenges DO require superhuman ability! :D

Doug - love your design. Very timely looking.

Doug, Greg,

I like both your ideas. Hopefully I'll be adding another t-shirt to my collection pretty soon.

They're both great. I don't know which one I like better.

My design was more for entertainment purposes...if we actually got shirts made, it would probably be more cost effective to stick with one solid color (like Doug's design) and maybe a screen of that color. Anyone work for a screenprinter?

What about an on-line service? Cafe Press is slightly cheaper, but http://www.99dogs.com/ offers a larger variety of sizes and colors (including black)... you can create a free on-line store, set up the prices and anyone interested in grabbing a shirt can order directly from the company (which saves you cost out of pocket!). 99dogs also accepts vector art, which will print beautifully! Just something to consider. (:

I just did this while watching NYPD. It's not really the concept I had in mind but I can't figure out how to do curved text right now.

It's almost funny, but what the hay.

I have been looking at Cafe Press. Thanks for the 99dogs link, I'll check them out.

Now we just need a design and/or a slogan :)

cool idea for making shirts! maybe this could be done as a fundraiser for the server costs etc. of Retouchpro?

That's the general idea. That, and it would be a hoot :)

Thumbs up for Doug's "snake oil" design.

Now for the front.

Doug Nelson

Front is easy :)

For the brave early-adopters out there, try this on for size (http://www.cafepress.com/retouchpro).

One down - 999,999,999 to go!

Next time -- a choice of color other than white for the T-shirt would be good -- ash, neutral, puice...


That website's arrangements for group's e-business looks like a good idea for volunteer groups. Doug, do you have to give them a percentage?

Doug Nelson

They have an ash t-shirt, but whatever the shirt color is makes up the 'white' value. The site has a price they charge for the shirt, and you set the selling price. The difference is the 'profit'.

They charge nothing for setting up your own store, so I encourage looking around. This would be a good thing for possible add-on restoration sales, etc.

99dogs.com looks good, too. Plus they have two different printing styles. I'm sure there are other companies out there, as well.

Thanks for buying one, btw. Let us know how you like it.

BTW, if anyone does try cafepress.com for your own business, list 'retouchpro' (no caps) as the referrer and we'll get a dime everytime you sell a shirt :)

Wow! Cool link Brandee.

I have to have a coffee mug...I would put that to very good use!
