Vector art will let you scale your design to whatever size you desire, which is a wonderful thing. (Our shirt was done mostly by copying the elements from our side panels, rearranging them a bit, and calling it a day.)
Also, I'll warn you that black is probably the most common team shirt color. It will most likely blend in in the absence of some other distinctive apparel. The inverse--black on a green shirt--is less so, though that may dilute the effect you're going for. Design, as a professor once told me, is the creative management of constraints. |
Echoing Billfred,
Inkscape is a free, open source alternative to Illustrator. Vector art is preferred by most places that print shirts. It is also required if you were to do it yourself on a vinyl cutter.
The black shirts are very VERY common at FRC events and you will have difficulties finding your students. I would recommend that you look at either another color, or another way of easily picking out your students.
Other than that all I can say is clean up the lines so it will pop on a shirt. Figure out the size on the shirt you want it. OH and run it by your sponsors and school. They should have some input because it should be on your cards, your robot, your site, and your shirts. Its pretty visible.
Oh, it looks cool.
