Any suggestions for those of us who haven't the foggiest clue how to make a vector image or whatnot?

If you don't have Adobe Illustrator for the vector images, I would suggest using Photoshop or Gimp to do the raster image type instead. Just keep the settings as required (300dpi) and go for it.

If you do have Illustrator, that will give them the AI or EPS files they require. Other programs with line/poly/circle tools can save out as EPS too (Quark, InDesign, hell Autocad probably does EPS too)

This is an AWESOME promotion. I'm all over it. Now if only I were creative... :?

ETA: Are we just to use the files posted for the Tattoos or are there some more AAC logo files somewhere?

Quick, somebody kidnap Andy/AAC and force him to make some cool design. You'll have to let him go when you win though, unless AAC run some other creative design contest.

In Photoshop I think it's located in "Image--> Image Size...--> Resolution Menu".

So I'm willing to bet that a shirt that says "Need a quieter wife? Get her a silencer" maybe with a picture of a hag with a AAC Cyclops stuck in her mouth? :P I assume it might not win with Cara judging?

Would be real nice with some AAC design looking like those Tapout/Affliction T-shirts etc.. On those it's a alot going on, cool and baam ass s--t i'll say *LOL*

I wish i was good on designing stuff like that, no shortage of ideas but my brain doesnt work wonders when using a pen on paper.
Hmm, my mom is a wicked artist, should drive over there and ask here to draw something from my ideas on a A1 sheet of paper :)

Halfway through taking the AAC stickman with silencer logo and making a dress for it when I went looking for more ideas and saw that's already been done. I wish I had something invaluable to kick.

ETA: Whatever, this is what I did before bed after scrapping the other one. Ignore the shirt background, as it's just for scale, and so I guess all it is is a symbol there. Yep. Gimme an Element.

Here's one.

I think the general idea is apparent. Feel free to add colors/change fonts/whatever. I wish I had better software. I'm limited to what I can do with MS Paint. :?

Ok here is my entry. It's rough and would need Andy to do it properly but it conveys the idea. Of course the theme could be reversed for a noisy husband or some thing like that.
