I designed a Kamala t-shirt

I tried all the suggestions here. Jodi, if I send it to you via FB Messenger, would you post it here for me? Or would anyone else like to volunteer? PD, I could send it to you also, if you know how to post it here.

OK. I went ahead and posted it to FB. Now I will try posting it here using the link.

Ugh. How do you get rid of that type on the sides? I'm not loving this format. grrrr.

I'm not seeing any type (text?), so not sure what you're referring to. Did you redo the embed, or did you just delete what ever text that you were talking about?
Oh, and nice graphic design!

@wtg that's because I figured out how to get rid of it.
I offered this design to the campaign the day after the convention, and after looking at their swag offerings on the official website, and seeing how unexciting they were.
I waited about a week, but never heard back. Some friends have said they want the t-shirt. Which would be in all black. But I don't have any idea if it would be okay to do this on my own. Furthermore, by the time I get it done, it would probably be too late to have much impact (if it were to have any impact at all).
I used to do this professionally, but it's been a long time ago. Like before people used computers to design with. Just learning how to create this on my laptop was what took the most time!

Am guessing people just have them made and sell them.

Similar graphic, uninspired text.

Just do it, even if only for your own fun. You don't expect to get rich from this, you may even opt to donate all profits to the campaign, and you can always stop if/when you get a cease-and-desist letter from the campaign. Furthermore, you can also open-source it -- put it in the public domain (or some very liberal licensing terms) and let others reproduce it.

I could start an Etsy account, I guess. I would change the type face just a bit, if I can figure out how to make it a bit fatter. I still like mine better than any of the ones linked to.

A friend said she wanted a t-shirt and said the image made her cry. So this morning I ordered one for each of us. I was surprised to see how easy and fast it is. Cost per t-shirt depends on the quantity purchased. To buy two, they were about $21 each. If I put in an order for 140, they would cost me nearly $2,000, or about $14 each. I don't think I'd do that without prepaid orders. The reason they are so much is because it is a four-color design. They offer one-color in quantity for around $3 each.
I will see how good the quality is for the price. If really nice maybe I will offer them for sale, and donate proceeds to the campaign. In the meantime, I plan to wear mine to do voter canvassing next month.

I changed the typography just very slightly. Can you tell?

oy. tried to use the photo function and still can't figure it out
-
I don't know if anyone has previously tried using MS OneDrive as a host. We had some third party hosts at groupee that didn't work either.
@Axtremus could probably explain why it might not be working, and perhaps offer a fix.
But....
While you're not getting an embedded image, if anyone clicks on the link, they can see the photo.
