Wisconsin We Drink Beer, Not Tea

[Eumenides]

The other day I posted a t-shirt and I received a great suggestion for a design I followed up on listed in the subject line.

I had a lot of fun designing them and I think they turned out pretty good. I based them both on Wisconsin based beers whose labels I found on eBay.

The first design was based on an old Weber Waukesha beer label. I believe it has a couple more hours to go on eBay before it is gone if you want to compare the label to my design. Anyways, I put the main slogan in the center of the shirt and then to replicate the writing, I looked up additional slogans used in the Madison protests. These run alongside the ad. The first reads: Bucky Beaver Doesn't Break Up Unions and the second reads: Friends Don't Let Friends Give up The Fight. It also includes the state motto: Forward.

The second one is based on Northern Pale Ale out of Superior Wisconsin. I created two versions of it, one with a diagonal reading of Wisconsin and the other without it. This one was technically more difficult to make because I couldn't find any decent, high resolution maps of Wisconsin so I made my own in GIS software and exported it. The working version of the shirt was 44"by 33" which I reduced to fit on the shirt.

I also created two oval stickers of the slogan

If anyone has any other ideas for shirts, let me know. Also, if you are interested in one but don't want to go through CafePress, I am setting up a shop at Printfection and their shirt's graphics should be larger than the ones on Cafe Press.

Thanks for looking,
Terry


ps Thanks to MurialM99 for the Suggestion

2. Yea the Bucky Beaver one sounds bad but the others are neat!

And I do think you can sell them. There is no reason for anyone to be negative around here. Keep it up.
