Need graphic help
 

is if for all of NPC or just your sorority?

If it's just for you... well i don't want to state the obvious solution but I will see if it gets the ball rolling with other people.

Have a picture of a cartoon like girl in your letters and then have other girls (assume they are also her sisters) behind her... but visible... and maybe only like 3 of them.

Or don't use a graphic. Use type only. Make sure it's not some goofy looking curly cue font either. VERY hard to read on shirts (I speak from experience.)

So put the first half of the saying on the front... and the second half on the back. Make the shirt color bright and voila... a recruitment shirt!

Go to http://greek101.com/screenprinting/designs.php and click on "Browse our T Shirt Design Gallery" in the red box on the right. There are 57 pages of designs maybe it will give you some ideas.

Just an idea I had, to kind of tie everything together.

For Bid Day, or depending on your chapter's rules about pledges/new members wearing letters - when they initiate, you could get t-shirts that on the front have your letters, and on the back say "My sisters are behind me"

Just an idea I thought might be powerful for the girls in your chapter

What would be really beautiful is if you have a group shot of DPhiEs, Phi Mus and Phi Sigs all together and smiling, you could grayscale (don't know how else to say it) and put it in a box on the back. Above the box, write:

When your letters are in front of you

And, under the box, write:

Your sisters are behind you.

On the front of the shirt, you could simply put "Bid Day 2004" then list the sororities. To get past the problem of who to put first in the list, I would put the sorority that has the oldest local founding date, then the second and then the third.

I'm going to play a bit with my graphics programs... I'll PM you if I come up with anything good.

Let me know if you like this. I think the image is too big to post here so I'm just posting the URL to it. It's just a quick draft and needs some polishing though.

That is so cute! I'll have to send that to my panhel council and see what they think. It's really creative too :).

That looks really good. I would be interested in seeing what it would look like if the slogan was center alligned.

It's really easy to alter it. I also realized one of the DPE's head's is cut off at the top. Tried to make the "girls" in some of each sorority's colors and then made them more transparent so that you could see the letters better. I also had an idea of a paper doll effect.. all the little paper doll girls holding hands in the foreground, each with a different chapter's letters and then a whole bunch of paper dolls in the background in the various colors.

I like to goof around with graphics.

Dee, you're fantastic! I just thought you should know that, lol. :)

You just say that cuz you're my sister and you HAVE to love me...LOL

Dee

NOT TRUE! I'd love you even if you weren't my sister, but I'm glad you are! ;)

See, I just love girls that experiment . . ;)

:eek:

There will never be any doubt that you are male, James.

On my campus we just go in alphabetical order. No one gets angry who was first and who's last. Solves a lot of problems.

This is off topic, but I was thinking today...if we're using the Greek alphabet, why do we put things in English alphabetical order? :p

They can be in Greek alphabetical order too!

OHHHHHHHH K!!

If the letters are spelled out in English, English alphabetical order is often used, because that's how computer data bases do it. I don't know if there are any real rules, though. TinyDancer might know. She's got a Phd in library science, so she should know how to organize information. I just know how to disorganize it.

You are correct, sir! Now back in the olden days of the card catalog, we hand-filed letter by letter. With the data bases of today, it sometimes is whatever, but generally that is still the rule. Even if you alphabetized by Greek letters, it would still come out in the same order: Delta Phi Epsilon, Phi Mu, Phi Sigma Sigma. Right?

Hope this helps - your design looks good!

Here is an idea that I came up with after reading your posts. uhmm I couldnt find a good pic of a precious moment, so bear with me. This should explain what Im going for though.

On the front, I wanted the girls to look like they were holding on the bottoms of the each sorority's set of letters.

http://img14.photobucket.com/albums/...lt649/Back.jpg

On the back, all these girls are supposed to be having their back towards the "Camera" but i couldnt find any back shots of precious moments. The girls are supposed to be on the shoulders of their "sisters." and the backwards letters gives it the appearance that you're looking right through shirt. I was going to add a fence to the front, that would hide the girls on the back, but I didnt know if it would look right.

If any of this makes sense, let me know what you think. :-D Or if you need me to clarifiy something.

James, you are a sick, sick person but I looooove yoooooou tooooo (of course, this is meant in that platonic way that everyone loves dwarves!) :p
