Allah desired I dont win this time so I lost.Hope i get better results next time insha-allah!Any thanks for all you votes!
 
Ah too late. The design is awesome though. Save it and get some T-Shirts printed and stick them on E-Bay! I would buy one :)

Alternatively, give me rights to use the design. See how honest I am :P That way you can sit back and reap the rewards (in royalties) while I do all the hard work. PM me if you're interested.

I am a graphic designer, thats a nice design and the sandlas are also a nice touch, why not make some shorts also, the design is very nice, for the summer why not try a same style pic of palm tree and fresh blue water or coconut.

:sl: ok inshaAllah. Before you do anything else, get copyright protection for your work, or someone else will use it before you do. http://www.protectmywork.com/ Please let me know if you want help regarding the copyright. I don't know if you are a student or what your financial position is. But if you need help for the copyright fees. I am willing to help for the sake of Allah to see a fellow muslim succeed in something inshaAllah. You are under no obligation to do business with me in return. But you can send me a t-shirt later. :)

Well, must dash now. Will pop in soon inshaAllah. But don't waste a second in protecting your work inshaAllah.

Okay scented blood but if i get it copyrighted can I still enter it into t-shirt contests?Yes sure I will send you a free tee whenever it gets printed!I do know where to contact you from.
 
:sl: Thanks for the compliment chuck. Once you have your work copyrighted, you are free to do with it as you please - without the risk of someone stealing it. What is the next step you'd like to take? Do you have any printers in mind? Of course you can find more and compare prices. But in the meantime take a look at this company (uk). In business the more you buy the lower the cost per item. See price list here: http://www.idressmyself.co.uk/services/screen-printing/t-shirts

See here for how to submit your design: http://www.idressmyself.co.uk/resources/how-to-send-us-your-t-shirt-design

If you're in the UK, please take the time to read about copyright laws @protectmywork.com, or if outside of UK then just Google for copyright laws for the country you're in.

scentes of jannah as i said before im not happy with going solo,i am not in the right frame to buy printers because then it will be a bussiness responsibility,insha Allah later i will try that but for now i think id either get it printed by sumbody or get it sumbitted into sumother contests,and getting it printed by sumone cost quit a bit so if i do i have to sell at a fairly good prize and i donno how thats going to sell.Afraid of strating that cos any money involed would have to be my fathers.So what would you advice since you are so hepful and willing to help.jazakallah!
 
:sl:

Firstly, by going solo I meant that I will only advise you, but buying and selling will be solely your responsibility, and I will not be entitled to any profits you make. And who told you that you have to buy printers? There are companies who do everything for you. All you do is deliver the items to buyers. Postage and packaging won't cost you anything as you charge that to the buyer.


As for the process of getting the t-shirts printed; here is an example using real quotes from the website I gave earlier.


Initial Screen Preparation of your design up to A4 size is £25

50 T-shirts with a four colour design £3.90 each = £195.00 + £25 = £220.00


Add to this VAT at the rate of 17.5% = £38.50



Total amount spent so far is: £258.50

Divide this by 50 for garment quantity = £5.17


The cost of delivery hasn't been added yet. This shouldn't be too much.


So with the initial printing set up, printed t-shirts inc. VAT each T-Shirt has cost approx £5.17



Now I think between £15-£20 is a good retail price. How does that sound? If retailed at £15.00, you make £9.83 Not bad eh? Hmm.. please correct me if I've miscalculated anything.



See.. it won't cost you an arm or a leg to do this by yourself. But if it still doesn't appeal to you. Then you have to state clearly in writing that you are giving me permission to use the design in return for a percentage of the profits I make from utilizing it. We can go into the finer details later.


However, I hope you feel confident enough to take it on by yourself. I would recommend this for two reasons. Firstly, because there is nothing to it. I will advise you along the way inshaAllah. I've got tons of ideas for your design already. I'm sure that if you show your father the comments you got for the design, and show him the cost of getting the t-shirts printed, ending it with the profit to be made, your father would not mind helping you financially. The second reason is that I am really busy in the process of building my own website, and I'm not good with computers. So it is taking an age. I am also designing and creating my own products, and have many left to do before my website can go live. For these reasons, I am encouraging you to try and do this without my involvement. My involvement could mean delays for you, and I wouldn't want that. If you go alone, I am willing to sell your t-shirts on my website.


I'm sure you agree it's not that hard a task to do on your own. You can also sell your t-shirts from a free blog. The possiblities are endless. But if you want me to take it on, then please say. I'm willing to help, but be prepared for delays in the beginning.


I hope I have not left anything out. Can you tell me what you have decided about protecting your work. Do you want to do it, or do you want me to take responsibility? Either way, I advise you not to waste time in this. If you want me to copyright it under my name, the design will still be yours and I will not use it without your consent. For me it will only mean that I have taken the initiative to protect your design for you.


Think about it carefully Abeer. May Allah guide you to making the right decision. Perform istikhara if you can't decide. : )


Whao! it's way past my bedtime... wa alaykum assalam.

Whao! it's way past my bedtime... wa alaykum assalam.

Okay scent of jannah I know to you it isint a hard task but because i never done bussiness nor do i own any money,its basically everythings gonna be for the fisrt time,so for me to take the fisrt step takes me thinking deep again.It seems like you have alot of expirience in this field,so if you dont mind can i hand it over to you and as you said you can get a share of the profit.About the copyright cant you copyright it on my name?
You said you design and create your own product,if you dont mind me asking what do you design and create.salaam alaiykum.See you sooon!
 
:sl: OK, np inshaAllah.

Before you even asked Abeer, I emailed protectmywork.com and asked them if copyright protection can be transfered to another person's name later. I asked them this as I felt you may delay it and lose your work, therefore I had thought about taking the initiative and then of course transfering the copyright to your name.


Their reply (just checked email) is:

"I am afraid we only accept works from an author. However, in uk law , you can certainly transfer copyright to your friend should u wish."


It seems only the account holder can submit the work, but can later transfer the copyright to another person. (Please feel free to email protectmywork.com with the same query if you wish to.)


You have two options:

1. Send me your details (name/address) and let me register the design in your name (your account).

2. Allow me to register the design in my account and then transfer it to you.


It would help me if you choose the second option for the following reasons:


1. If I open the account in my name, I can protect your, and my own work in the same account, and ofcourse transfer it to your name as soon as poss.(I have some designs and poetry I want to copyright.)

2. It would cost me twice as much and affect my budget if I have to open a separate account to protect my own work.


It's up to you however.


Here is cost of registration from protectmywork.com
Copyright Registration Cost?

Protect My Work keep costs simple and very good value for money. Our copyright registration charges are simply:

A fixed fee of £ 25 per year, for account setup and maintenance (this fee does not increase with the number of files you register with us)

A £1 token is required for each piece of work registered. You can register up to 5 individual files with one token. This is a one-off cost NOT an annual charge.

Register today and receive 5 free tokens, that's up to 25 files protected for FREE!


Hope to hear from you soon inshaAllah.

P.S. I keep forgetting to ask, are you a sis/bro? Your profile says sis, but I thought Abeer is a boys name. And, which country are you in?
