I'm pretty sure the first time I saw the ASA print, the link came from our HQ, so you never know. I think it was made by an ASA, though, so it might make a difference there, but it might not.

I've never used Photoshop but it wouldn't surprise me if it was easier to use than Publisher. Finding good, free clip art is a big problem I've run into so far. I recognize some of the graphics WD is using, but she's found a lot more than I have so far! I really got stuck with AGD, but I found a great graphic for either KD or Alpha Phi (or both?). We'll see if I have more time tomorrow. It's now midnight so I think it's bedtime for me!

In photoshop, you can download free "brushes" and "custom shapes" -- a lot of the clip art I'm using are really just the brushes and custom shapes...they are like stamps...really easy to use, resize, etc. So I do think it makes it faster because I'm not searching for clip art specifically in most cases. I have an ETSY shop where I do graphic design (wedding monograms, birth announcements, invitations, etc.) so my photoshop set up is pretty kitted out because of that.

I'm going to send an email to FHQ, so we'll see what they say about the Alpha Xi prints.

WhiteDaisy, if you're getting bored  feel free to try your hand at an Alpha Phi design (ivy, forget-me-nots, lilies-of-the-valley, Ursa Major...lots of possibilities!).
I love your designs, BTW. I wish I had 1/100th of your creativity!

I think you'd probably have problems getting rights to the crests, but using the symbols and letters could be okay - more okay if you are not using them to make a profit.

That's not bad for a first attempt!
I also wonder if the percentage that Spoonflower allocates for the designer could be sent to the respective Fraternity/Sorority? I imagine it would depend on how they display what amount came from which fabric, if that's how they do things…but then if the designer sent that on to the respective organization's philanthropy, surely the organization could get behind that?
Perhaps if it became enough in demand, Spoonflower would set up a section specifically for Greek fabrics?
