So Pasty, the guy who runs the GamingW T-Shirt Shoppé (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=3968.0), is holding a contest!! Basically you just have to make a T-Shirt design with the words "If you can't slam with the best, jam with the rest." famous words echoed by Charles Barkley in the acclaimed Spike TV Videogame Awards 2008 winner for "Best RPG starring a basketball star no one cares about": Tale's of Games Presents: Charles Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley Saga.
Here is what Pasty needs according to his topic:
"Anyway, there's a popular catchphrase from Charles Barkley. He talks to a kid who asks him for money. If you don't give him any, he says this:
(http://www.modestarcade.com/images/bakley.png)
I'd like T-Shirt designs that use this phrase. You can do whatever you want, but the only concept guideline I have is that you must use the phrase "If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest." You may NOT, however, use other people's IP in the conceptualization of this design (for instance, Charles Barkley's likeness, screenshots from Acclaim's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam!, etc. If you have a question, ask!)
There are two ways your design can be processed as a t-shirt, either in raster or vector format. Raster format is based upon pixels and vector format is based upon mathematical curves. This means the vector format is a whole lot cleaner, but it's a lot harder to satisfy the t-shirt maker (Spreadshirt)'s criteria when it comes to vectors.
T-Shirt Requirements:
• All components of your design are at least 0.059 inches (1.5 mm).
• The space between elements should be no less than 0.04 inches (1 mm).
• The entire design cannot exceed 11.7 x 11.7 inches (297.18 mm). We actually recommend a size of 8.86 x 8.86 inches (225 mm) so that your design can be successfully printed on most of our products.
Keep this in mind if you're going to do a vector design. Also, vector designs are limited to three colors only (pixel designs aren't, though try to keep the color count down.) If we can get a design through, it will look really nice plot-printed (they're not plot-printed right now; they're digitally screened.)
Candidate Selection: Designs will be selected by popular vote. We will whittle it down if we get too many by holding a preliminary vote or two.
Prizes: The person whose design we use gets a T-Shirt with their design on it, free of charge. Also, if it was a vector design and they were able to get it through Spreadshirt's approval process, they will get an additional T-Shirt of their choice from the shop.
Here are some rules. By submitting a design, you agree to the following:
- This is a not-for-profit outfit. You will not receive any kind of monetary compensation from Gaming World for your design, whether by commission or otherwise.
- If your submitted design is used on a Gaming World T-Shirt, the shirt may not be sold anywhere, online or offline, except in the Gaming World T-Shirt Shoppé.
- All designs that use any intellectual property (IP) the creator does not own will be disqualified immediately.
- Do not plagiarize! I shouldn't have to tell anyone this, but it happens.
The contest begins August 9, 2008 (start now now now) and ends August 27th, 2008."
So get crackin', Pasty and all of GamingW could use your help, and hey, free T-Shirts!

Hmmmmmm....
I will think about this. Which is the best software for vector graphics?
-
Corel draw

Sweet. I'll definitely look into this.
