Alright, so here we go... A few years ago, I used to have a "clothing company" called Gentlemen Clothing. Basically it was me and three friends who made a bunch of different tee shirt designs with the name Gentlemen (or the logo we had) incorporated into it. (Probably had about 6 or 7 different designs, with each shirt having numerous color options). We got the name copyrighted and all. It was semi-legitimate, and extremely profitable. (Every time we got a batch of shirts printed/sold, we would make our money back + enough to print two more batches (so that's what we did.)) We sold well over 500 shirts, and still to this day see people rockin' em everywhere.

But... I was pretty much the only person who made the designs. (I go to school for graphic design, as well has have an established job in the field (and have for the past two years)).

To get to the point, I don't talk to any of those kids anymore really, and I want to start something like this again. Already have a name, and plenty of designs and ideas in the works. (Four20Four Clothing). I'm one creative mother****er...

... But i'm looking for some other creative graphic design people to help me out this time around. The style of the company would be like... Wesc/10 Deep/Supreme/Jordan/LRG(ish). Check out http://www.karmaloop.com/ for an idea of what that looks like if you don't know. Color schemes that match nikes are always a +

Also, i'll probably need a photographer later down the road...

I'll post up some rough ideas that i've made thus far later when i get home.

i'd be very interested. I could do some designs and a logo if you don't have one.

Spocknasty · 08-03-2009, 10:30 PM

Hit me up if you need a photographer.

bump!

okay, so i know it's been awhile since i made this thread... but i'm actually starting this up soon. i have a marketing class and my main project for the semester is to create a company and have a marketing plan for it... so i figured why not just do what i was going to do! for those of you who are legitimately interested, send me a PM with a logo you created to show me what you've got... (for my thing, not just a logo from your "portfolio", because that doesn't help me much)

be creative, i really like simple/bold text style designs... i'll respond to your PM if i like what i see and want to use your assistance! (i don't know if i could exactly PAY you (being that i'm just a 20 y/o community college kid)... but definitely give you shirts/stickers and whatever else when they're printed, obviously along with credit if i decide to use a design of yours.

again, be creative. arched text, BOLD, sideways, script, anything.
