If anyone needs help or assistance .....shoot me a p.m. without fear of me stealing your ideas ...and for some humor associated.... Hi! My name is Scott. I fly Revs and I'm a Whumper.. I didn't always Whump...Very little Whump involved in the beginning. But once I tried Whump..I knew right then and there, I couldn't Whump enough. In high wind I Whump a little less...In low wind I Whump a whole lot more. As a matter of fact, I will be Whumping not too long from now..Probably a mild Whump. So my Whumping question to you is........... Got Whump? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Preferred file format is AI or SVG, but if you don't know what that means, a good napkin sketch could also win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 My only added requests... No Rev logo. No verbiage, other than the hook line for the shirt (re "whumping") and my URL (johnbarresi.com). Don't think of Rev or KL as companies in the design, focus should be on flying (the experience). I've also attached a copy of my logo if you'd like to try and incorporate it... Rough is fine, we can clean up later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Scott, any chance you could add a couple of bold links to "whump" discussions as reference in your lead post? I think the key here is not just the humor, but the actual "whump" ideology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginCajun Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Would this be considered whumpped? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystainedskin Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Without motion, It's hard to tell..but from the hand position...hmmmm. Sure got the right idea on shape for a "Whumping " to base your design off of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkieRob Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Can I use a hash tag (#gotwhump) or just the Whump?Kind of sounds like a question my kids would ask... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thinking out loud... Just fodder to used or discarded: Sporty, modern, tribal, silhouette, live action... This is really cool, can't wait to see some concepts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystainedskin Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 No idea....is a bad idea, As John stated , it can be "cleaned up" in the later stages. This is all about ideas and being creative. So throw your thoughts out there. Everything in life starts from 1 simple thought. I work on turkey day...I will whip up something and submit it to get the juices flowing.....just to prove ANYONE and ANY IDEA is good. Maybe even submit your concept as a rough sketch to secure your idea? It can be improved upon and a final entry can be submitted before the end date. This is about everyone here...so any feedback will be taken into consideration to improve upon possible "future" concept drawing challenges Now where is that smiley holding a http://www.johnbarresi.com sign?

bbailey49 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 First Shot. Would definitely need a bit of tuning, but the idea is there. The kite is an actual outline of a whumped Rev from one of JB's videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystainedskin Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Guess I will throw an idea hint out there for someone...... One of my original thoughts for a 2 sided shirt is actually posted in the first post and could be copy and pasted directly for the design with no modifications other than maybe color. In my thoughts it would be the front of the shirt , with the back consisting of more details from the same post. I have not mentioned this one to even John. SO we will see if someone gets it....

dragonfish Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hahaha, I thought of that too for the front. No idea what I'd put on the back yet though. I think some graphics would be nice, but what? Hmmmmmm......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
