T-shirt Design: Call to Designers

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that we’re planning to make a massive splash in Spring/Summer 09′ and launch the store, the website and  the Scooter & Jinx brand onto the scene!

We’re looking to mark this momentous occasion by commissioning a series of 5  hand-numbered, limited edition, designer t-shirts and this is where you guys come in. Collaborative projects are very much a part of our ethos and the way we intend to move forward with many of the plans we have for the coming year. That said, in the spirit of collaboration,  we want you to make us look good and let us make a big deal of the amazing work you do! We’re thinking of it as a way share our excitement and make some great friends and partners in crime along the way!

The remit is basic, the design has to be Scooter & Jinx branded, though not necessarily with our logo (which we will make available upon request)- just our name. The creative vision is yours to run with in terms of type face and graphics,  but we want you to do what you do best and slap your individual flavor all over it and leave the rest to us. The only influence we want to have over your design is to emphasize  who we are, what we do, and what inspires us. Let these few things be your guide:

Who are we and what do we do?

Well… Scooter & Jinx is a retailer and gallery that specializes in vinyl and custom art toys, graphic / urban art, apparel and all manner of eclectic artist-designed collectibles. We’re going to be selling and exhibiting the most unique  and desirable goodies that we can get our mitts on.

What inspires us?

In a word, Fun! We’re a lil’ bit gangsta, a lil’ bit geek. We  love robots. We also dig ninjas, grafitti, spaceships, video games, crazy/miniature golf, pinball, most things about the 80′s and we think that 12″ records and casio beats are pretty awesome.  We’ll never say no to a good cup of tea and we think that puppies RULE.

So that’s it! We realise you’re bound to have questions, but this was to give you an idea of what we’re looking for and more importantly to start a conversation. The interest in this has been overwhelming so far and that’s even before it was a full blown idea, so we’re psyched to see what you kids come up with!

We’ve got some seriously cool plans for the packaging and finishing details, these are going to be tight, so get scribbling and get in touch with any questions or ideas you might have, we can’t wait to hear from you!
