Design a T-shirt for DanweiPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 12:53 PM
2008.04.13: The competition is now closed. Danwei is going to make an official T-shirt to be produced and sold by Plastered T-shirts. We're accepting design submissions and holding a competition to choose the winner. The winning design will be sold in Plastered T-shirt stores in China and on the Internet and the winner will receive glory, fame and 888 yuan in crisp bank notes. If you have an idea for design, download a T-shirt template from the links below make your design and email it to Tshirt@danwei.org or upload it to the comment section of this post. The design can use an iconic Chinese image, simply consist of text, or be something wholly new, but it must have some connection with Danwei's content, or the meaning of the Chinese word 'danwei'. Submitted designs do not need to be production ready: Plastered T-shirts will work with the winning designer to prepare for production. The competition closes at 8am on Monday April 13. The entries will be judged by:
Jeremy Goldkorn founder of Danwei Shen Qing Managing Director of FT Rui magazine, known in Chinese women's magazine circles as the "godmother of fashion" Dongdong Qiang post 1980s man of letters, student of the classics and blogger Mauro Marescialli: Founder of Standards Group, the design firm that created Danwei's logo and visual identity Adam J. Schokora Danwei contributor and Neocha partner, blogger.
Templates (any of the file formats are suitable): ai, jpeg, psd The competition is being supported by creative networking site Neocha.com where you can find a Chinese version of the information above. 设计比赛信息的中文版在新茶网。 |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

I like how the first shirt appropriates symbols of censorship for ironic chic. Even if it's not accepted, I'd still pay $15 for it. Just splurge on the quality of the fabric.
位位 in red against a white background, with the English Danwei logo on the back of the t-shirt. Or is that too precious?

I'm in the judging panel...but I just couldn't resist...
That's a nice idea for an April Fool's joke; replacing Danwei on April Fools with a fictitious blog by four of the main newsposters on Danwei about their personal lives. The more outrageous and unbelievable, the better.
Shhhh! Next year!
There have been some decent submissions on the Neocha page.
