Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

It's February 2007 already, and time is fast approaching for our C=4 Expo. A few deadlines are approaching already. We have our paypal account set up finally, after months (or has it been years?) of discussion. Coming up in March is the deadline for our C=4 Expo t-shirt design contest. Updated information should be up soon for the C4expo.org website for purchasing your advance tickets to C=4 and the t-shirts.

Just what exactly are we expecting for a t-shirt design? If you have subscribed to the c4expo group on yahoo, you already know. Here is a brief rundown:

You can use whatever program you want to design in, but keep in mind, the design will be monochrome silkscreen (I believe that is what Mark indicated by the t-shirt shop he had in mind). We will need to get with the t-shirt shop in what program they want the design. In most cases, it shouldn't be hard to convert to another format needed. I will be converting submissions into a format that can be viewed via the web, probably gif.

Dimensions haven't been determined yet, as to whether the design would be a pocket style logo, full chest logo, or back shoulder logo. It depends on the submissions of our creative talents.

Files can be uploaded to the c4expo yahoo group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/c4expo or emailed to cbmusers@yahoo.com and it will be forwarded to the files section of the yahoo group. As a bonus, submissions will have a preview available online at the opening webpage. As it stands now, there is only one submission, but I'm sure others will show up as it gets closer to the deadline. Submissions will be rotated for display until the deadline for the contest on March 1. Beginning March 2, a poll will be setup for all to vote on which design is the one that should be used for this year's logo. If there is room in the newsletter this month, submissions hopefully will make it to the newsletter pages for all to see. Your design could be the winner if you get it uploaded now.

We will be meeting at the Norwood Retirement Community again on February 18th at 2PM. You can also bring your submissions to this month's meeting for all to see.

Keep on Commodoring!
