Alright, calling ALL creative juices here.
My dorm is called "1835 Hinman" because it's address is "1835 Hinman Avenue." We call ourselves Hinmates. We are south campus.
We need a t-shirt design, and I'm pseudo on staff to help come up with ideas/get this thing going. So I have tried coming up with clever stuff, but this isn't exactly rowing boats here, if you all know what I'm saying.
that's irrelevant, though
So anyway, CJ, Joanna, Iain, Grant ... I know all of you were into graphic design at some time, can you possibly put some creative juices going on this one and maybe come up with some clever ideas? Utilize Hinman, obviously, utilize 1835 if you can, but you don't have to ... be artsy, be creative ... you dont' even have to make anything, just shout ideas at me, like "imagine this"
I know that's lame, but nobody, and I mean nobody, in my dorm seems to be creative enough to come up with anything ... this is what we've got:
1) hINMATES (like inmates ...)
a) black and white stripes (pretty much voted down)
b) orange (like jumpsuits, pretty much voted down)
c) just putting prisoner number 1835 on the back (kinda lame)
2) Hinman: South of the Border (taco bell logo ripped off)
3) Hinamn: Southern Comfort (supposedly tried last year, but can't use the logo, so the suggestion is to do the same shirt just without the logo)
4) Hinman: Dirty south
5) Hinman: ridiculously good looking (zoolander rip off)
6) Hinamn go woo! (and then something about bubb rubb)
Oh, and this one is legit, it's not me banking off my dorm or anything (although, that seems far less unethical here than it was at manual, thank god, cause people make their own t-shirts incessantly here).
so yeah, anyone, Diya, Eli, Danielle, JLew, i don't care ... just think of something ... and respond here ...
you can even rip off your college dorm shirt ideas, just cause as long as we don't rip off northwestern ideas I think it's fair game (although we joked about a t-shirt that had a particular dorms name, slogan, picture and then we'd just cross of their name and write hinman above it, to be funny)
Alright, peace
John.
I would say black shirt, white printing. square image. 80s punk band style.
as much as I hate the 80s, those are just cool.
you could use a prisoner behind bars type picture or something along those lines, and it would probably be real easy to get the 1835 in there, too.
-G-
yeah right. I am an engineering major, like I can be creative...what were you thinking?
hehe ... i don't know, I don't care who helps
Ditto on the Dr. Evil look.
that one, cept make it say "The Hinmates"
thatd be funky fresh.
i can hook you up with some freshy fonts if youd like...
Bah! Our dorm decided to make shirts w/bottles of cap'n morgan that say cap'n smith instead, because we're smith hall...doesn't get much lamer than that. wait..there's an abolute emory shirt with the vodka bottle. yeah... our only other idea was to put this picture we took of the 27 40's we drank one night when we did edward 40-hands, and just have it say "Smith Hall...yeah we did!" Yeah. All alcohol related. Bah. We're not creative here. Leave us be.

haha, edward 40-hands is such a great game ... diya, please tell me you played and you finished
Absolutely not. sorry to disappoint. This is the girl who throws up and passes out after 6 fucking shots. True story, by the way. Meh.
