Every year we have a T-shirt design contest, where CSSS Students create designs (relevant to the summer school) and during the end of the second week we vote on the one we will print and distribute to the cohort. Please post your T-shirt design below. The design will be printed on a single colored T-shirt (keep in mind which color T-shirt you would like to print on while planning your design). The print that will go on the T-shirt is limited to a two color back and a one color front.

Designs will be voted on June 11th at 2:45p.m.

Have fun and be creative!

Do note that T-shirts need to be limited to two solid colors, so things like color scaling will not work well because of the screen printing process. If you would like a high-resolution .PSD file, please see JP

I made a wordcloud of our respective fields of study using Sanders statistics. I think the wordcloud could be combined with another design e.g. Vanessas I <3 complexity. Also the wordcloud font & style can be changed.- Susanne

Never forget the yodelling pickle. Never.

--Manish

It`s great, good laugh! - Susanne

Updated the text on the header to include mention of CSSS. --Manish

Question: Should "Yo Delay" be moved to the back of the shirt? --Manish

I thought it would be interesting to use something we learned in class for the T-shirt. I'm trying to use a genetic algorithm to evolve the SFI logo. On the back are population samples from various time steps.

(This is a work in progress, and I'll keep improving the GA/shirt up until the voting on tuesday. - Todd)

The landscape are the mountains behind St.Johns, and the mandelbrot fractals are the clouds. I can make the landscape less detailed and more simple, uploads will follow - Susanne

What do you think about this? -- Andrea

Two things:

- the color could (should) be different than simple white...maybe light gray

- the network on the back has to be carefully drawn since the idea is to have a node for each of us and place it where we come from/study. The edges can then be more or less randomly assigned to have a connected net ;-)

• Andrea, if you will revise the back drawing, kindly include Philippines =). This is a good design.=) Ren

• Andrea, it looks good! Could you kindly include Madrid (center of Spain)? Thanks! Regina
• Andrea, I like your design! Could you please include lebanon (east of the mediterenean)? thnx :) amara

Sure, thanks for the feedback. I will include the nodes where missing in the case it goes through the selection process, the current version is only a prototype ;-)

Here's a prototype, combining Vanessa's front, with my Game of Life back. The real one will either say SFI CSSS 2013, or I'll use the entire logo (with nice font).-- Nix

Not sure of a design, but something with Phase Space Camp?

---

• I have created a cross words from all our names, so maybe we can print this on one sides of the T-shirt. you can find your name, let me know if i skipped any name :)-- Amara

My suggestion is actually inspired by Susanne's design with the Mandelbrot clouds. If lots of folks like it, perhaps this could be made into a bumper sticker? A plain Mandelbrot would also do; I just grabbed this one because the <3 is more obvious. -- Vanessa

Ha! this is great— I <3 the Edge of Chaos would be cool too. John D,

This one really clicked with me immediately. I was expecting more "complex" designs, but I really love how simple and to the point it is. I wonder if we could maybe collaborate? I'd like to maybe design the back like I described earlier. Basically something like "SFI CSSS 2013" and the SFI logo, with Conway's Game of Life growing from the letters and logo... Nix

SFI solar system t-shirt. The color or symbols can be changed. If any of you have ideas for other symbols to put as planets, please let me know. I can also remove the pi symbols if this would look nicer. peace! :-) - Susanne

Chaotic warning t-shirt. -- Hua
Ideally I would like to have only the circular SFI logo on the shirt (instead of a sqaure). But I don't know how to get rid of the white background of the logo.

• This reminds me of the series of warning t-shirts that Despair, Inc. made a few years ago. I like the idea of a warning, but maybe we could make it more visually appealing? I'm not good with graphics, but the idea would be to have a clear warning symbol on the front of the shirt (a yellow triangle with symbol inside, like the example below) adapted to reflect chaotic systems (maybe the Lorenz butterfly?). I think the text could still say WARNING across the top, show the symbol, and perhaps CHAOTIC SYSTEM INSIDE across the bottom. The additional text, "Be careful with inputs," could be a second line on the bottom, or perhaps on the back. With this design, I recommend putting the SFI logo and CSSS 2013 on the back. -- Vanessa
