Boston's Independent Media Center is contemplating conquering the fashion world with our very own line of upper-torso wear.
Being an open source media center, we felt that the best thing to do is give everyone a chance to come up with the winning design(s). After all, we are you, you are us and so on... The winner(s) will receive a year long subscription to the bi-weekly Boston Independent newspaper (that will debut in the next month or so) and two free T-shirts with their own winning design printed on them! Not to mention the satisfaction of promoting the future of Boston's very own independent media source, working hard to bring you the truth and give you the tools to tell it.
Guidelines are few and far in between, but we would like the shirt to say "Boston Independent Media Center" or "Boston Indymedia" and maybe include our website address bostonimc org in small print or something. We also like the idea of having colorful T's not just the same old black and white, so maybe including ink and shirt color schemes would boost your chances.
However, if you decide on a multi-color design remember that we have next to no budget down here and will probably lean towards a one ink color design. The only way around that is to make a multi color design so def that it inspires us to raise more ca$h for printing.

You'd think consumers' tastes in car colors would have become more adventurous in these modern times. Strangely, it seems the opposite is true.
In the 1950s, automakers offered cars in two-tone or even three-tone paint schemes, with a choice of up to six different interior colors.
Today, multitone paint jobs are virtually extinct - with the exception of some limited edition models - and the dominant colors on the road are white, silver and black.
For designers like Tom Tremont, vice president of advanced design for DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group, the public's timorous attitude about colors can be frustrating.
"I hear people say they want more dramatic colors," Tremont said. "But when they go into the showroom, they seem to pick the same old choices.
Tremont thinks the spirit of the times may have made car buyers more daring half a century ago.
"In the '50s people were very optimistic," he said. "It was an innocent time. Today, cars are so much more complicated and serious."
That complexity makes automakers want to simplify the manufacturing process as much as possible, which leads to offering fewer exterior and interior color options to streamline plant operations.
Still, Tremont and his colleagues are probing the possibilities for livening up the color palette on future models.
There may be some room for novel colors on performance

The use of flexible packaging to transport, distribute and market products such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and foods has expanded rapidly over the past decade and this trend is set to continue to rise, according to the organisers of a conference on the issue scheduled for 13 October.
The Solidex 2004 meeting – to be held in Hinckley in Leicestershire, UK – will examine the role of flexible packaging in the transport of materials as a substitute for, or complement to, bulk transportation and storage, providing fast availability of the right product at any given time - with minimum stock holding.
The key to successful industrial bag filling and handling lies in effective system integration. Optimising speed without compromising accuracy and reliability is a multi-functional task, relying on critical sectors of the overall line to work in harmony.
Incompatibility in equipment will inevitably lead to product spillage, costly unexpected material and packaging losses, premature breakdowns, bottlenecks and expected savings not being achieved-all resulting in frustration and loss of production.
Although modern electronics and computer technology are playing an increasingly important role in today's bagging systems, sound mechanical engineering innovation is fundamental to ensuring precision, speed and above all relia
