This from Cafe Press regarding artwork to be used in shirt design (http://www.logosoftwear.com/help_system ... ?answer=50):

.... It is preferable to receive vector images such as Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Corel Draw (.cdr), and Illustrator (.eps) files. We will accept other formats like BMP, JPG, GIF, EMF, and WMF. Graphic artwork can come into one of two formats: vector or raster (bit map).

...

Image Size & Resolution
Be aware that images cannot be printed larger than they come to us. Best results are obtained from images that are high-resolution (150 dpi or greater) and larger than the area you request them to be printed into. Images taken from web sites are not high-resolution (generally 72 dpi) and cannot be reproduced well on a T-shirt.

And again (for the 8th time in two years), we say good-bye to Jerry Heath. And Jodie as well. Hope you find a good place to dock your oars.

Do I sense some frustration in your voice...er...text

That's just for the week... I'm streaking the challenge. I'll only get a couple of k in today since I ran this morning... Did you like "Paceboat Pete"?

Well, we can't figure out why some people keep joining and leaving. I think this team provides a positive and supportive environment, and it can be crazy-making when a few folks treat the team boat like a revolving door (how's THAT for mixing metaphors!). It's frustrating for Izz and me because we try to provide all the "virtual" (as in bit-based) encouragement we can. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, because I'm not really, but it's hard to find encouraging things to say every day about folks' rows when they don't participate on the forums so you don't know anything about them, their challenges, their goals, etc. And when they bounce in and out, it's hard not to take it personally, even though I know it isn't about me. Sorry if that frustration bled through in the post... I really do wish all our ex-rowers well, and they're welcome back anytime. I just wish they'd stay!

Here is what she has as a draft for review.

I think this looks great! I like how the squiggly dot over the i shows up -- didn't get that in the "coffin" paint. Big thumbs up from me!

First one with a T-Shirt in hand ---> WINS!!!

Anyone can use jpg, gif, or bmp. Also, cafe press recommends at least a 1000 x1000 pic size. And that color BLUE looks good to me.

And kudos to our wife, Thanks,

My wife always tells me "delayed gratification is good for your character"...

Why can't she be like all other wives and just say she has a headache?
Seriously, though, it's great to see you pushing yourself, but without going too far. You may find that your weight hasn't changed much even though those pants are loose, because rowing puts muscle in all kinds of places.
And I want a couple of those tee shirts if & when they're ready (let's go XXL).

Put up another 22K or so, going off the grid for a couple days...

OK, I believe in team closeness and sharing and all, but let's not go overboard!!!!!

Oops! Freudian slip! --- There was suppose to be a "y" in front of the "o-u-r" == ha ha

So, did you already upload the image that I posted below? That wasn't the final version and may not come out right - it was really just meant as a draft for you to comment on. We can get a better quality image posted unless it's too late.

No, I was just teasing. But the shirt sure looks good!

Did you like "Paceboat Pete"?

No! Hahaha, I don't like anything about PaceBoat! Pete rows like some sort of machine. There's no stopping him!
Actually, I think PaceBoat needed a name. I wonder if the PM5 monitor will note your change.

Well, we can't figure out why some people keep joining and leaving.

I wonder if they even make it past the logbook to the forums. We should have you hooked once you get on here with us.

Okay, so I'm still not sure how we should get you the file(s) that you need? How will this work exactly with CafePress?

I would post the image at a photo sharing site like imageshack, flickr, etc. Most all of them can accept jpg, png, gif, bmp, or tiff. Then just post the image here on this thread with a link to the download page. Thats my plan if I ever get my file. I'll be posting in JPG. --- Cafepress accepts lots of formats JPG,TIF,TIFF,PNG,GIF,BMP, and PSD. All that you have to do at cafepress is go to tshirt, then custom, then "For you & your friends"( press "get started"), then choose your shirt, and follow the simple instructions for upload and design. Its very easy. Its made for the typical Dufus Americanus. I fall in that catagory, and it worked for me.

Thanks,
TMike
