Design a WHITE-Colored Tshirt with an interesting design and print color in a mix of BLACK and RED only for the FOSSASIA community or event (e.g. for Singapore from March 13-15).
Use Open Source graphics applications and provide your source files in Open Source formats like XCF of SVG. Consider using different Asian languages or cultural influences on your design.
There some inspiring tutorials online for example for Gimp and Inkscape, but also many other.
For Gimp have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToHF7OhkjTM&list=PLwDz0u1wwdEkHebipATcbGsv27uWJlJP7

Details
- Please create all elements of the design within the Open Source application you use and show them as layers in the source file (e.g. Inkscape, Gimp, Krita)
- Why not try a tag cloud similar to the photo below with some words in your language?
- Please avoid including random images from the Internet
- Please use the FOSSASIA font Spaceman.TTF or our vector graphics for your design [Folder here]
- Show the designs on a Tshirt outline

Expectations and Limits
- Simply adding the FOSSASIA logo and some other logos or images to a T-shirt outline is not sufficient
Files and Resolution

- Export the file as a png for previews
- Please ensure a good resolution for print e.g. above 300dpi
