Subject: Who wants "to keep the shirt away..."? Not IED
Re: KT-shirts Sounds great, John. IED's all in favor of using what sounds like your vast network of T-shirt-making experts. We have to see the design, however, unless we can describe it very precisely in Love-Hounds. About Doug's reminder that it was going to be a "Dreaming" t-shirt, o.k., but you're just talking about the picture part of the design, and maybe the quotation on the back, right, Doug? The front of the shirt should still say "Love-Hounds" on it. Also, there are several great lines that could be used as the quotation, not just the "Houdini" line. Still, that IS a great line; IED approves. So, we've got "Love-Hounds" in HoL script (or the closest thing to it that's available) on the front at the top, with the lines: "An international / Kate Bush / computer forum" printed below that, in smaller blocks, upper- and lower-case. There should still be room for the picture below that. If we use a photo, remember that for a good silkscreen the original can't be too dark, should have a lot of contrast and very clear contour lines. The Dreaming cover is a pretty good candidate in this regard; even better on these counts is the Ninth Wave outer cover photo, at least the section of the photo with Kate's face. Then, on the back, the quotation, two or three lines long, in HoL script, and below that either "Kate Bush" or better yet the KT logo. After all, it's pretty obvious from the front that the quotation on the back is by Kate, right? We don't want this shirt to seem too obvious.Or we could just have the title on the front, and put the picture on the back. The only thing is, IED thought it cost a certain amount of money per letter for these things, isn't that right? Does the estimate John made include any length of quotation? Also, how sharp and small can the letters be?
