Cell Hell T-Shirt Design Contest

Each year the class produces a t-shirt for the students in Bio 242 based on the general theme of "Cell Hell." The design of the shirt is voted on by the class from a selection of possible designs submitted by students and staff of the course. In general, the designs can incorporate two colors, a main design panel, and often a pocket logo. The winning designer gets their shirt for free plus all the glory! Examples of past t-shirts are shown below to spark your own ideas - click the image to enlarge.

Design Submission Guidelines:

  • DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING DESIGNS: Friday, October 16th in lecture
  • design must be of reasonably good taste - the staff will be the arbiters of acceptable designs
  • maximum of one primary design (back or front) and a pocket logo
  • the design MUST include Bates College and the YEAR (pocket logos are good for this).
  • up to two colors of ink. Please specify the colors you think work best.
  • designs must be as original as possible - don't recycle others ideas (how boring).
  • design drawings must be print ready and at the proper size (some resizing can be done by the printers)
  • if two colors, separate drawings must be made for each color (requires separate screens)

Voting:

Voting for the designs will take place on Monday, October 19th in lecture. Voting will be by secret ballot and the design getting a clear majority of votes will win. If it is close, there will be a runoff vote. We will decide as a class the color of t-shirt to use.

Ordering T-Shirts:

DEADLINE FOR ORDERS: Wednesday November 4th - the order goes in on Nov 5th.

We will start taking orders for shirts immediately AFTER class after deciding the design winner. You can order by sign up sheet OR by email to Greg.

We purchase 100% cotton T's in unisex sizes (S,M,L,XL,2XL, etc). Size XS is NOT available.

All shirts must be paid for BEFORE we send in the order - payment in CASH is preferred. We will determine the final price ASAP once we know the design specs. The price of the shirts typically runs $7-8/ each.
