T-shirt advice
Hey Gang,
I'm busy. Crazy busy. We're talking they-fired- the- basketball -coach -of -my -team-and-I -didn't-even -know-it busy.
So I'll make this brief.
For those of you doing the t-shirt contest, I think it would be a good idea to spend some time on cafepress.com and other places to see what looks good and duplicates well. (Doing a search for Twilight, for example, gives a great understanding of the types of things that the judges will be looking for.)
Hope that helps,
Ally

Hey Ally,
Thanks 4 the advice!

Thanks for the idea! It will help a lot.
Hey Ally! I would just like to tell you that i ordered The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and got it tuesday and its been hard to put down since! Its not like any book i've ever read before and it is very interesting in a good way. its also very funny like you said, and you have no idea how happy i was when i ready the word "grodie" because i always say that and my friends laugh at me haha. but now i know im not the only one!
thanks for the recommendation!

I read The Disreoutable Heart of Frankie Landau- Banks the day after it came out. All in one sitting it was amazing!!!!
And thanks for the tip, it should come in handy!
The symbol that appears when you type in allycarter.com- can we use it in our design?
ally you are an amazing writer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
ONE THOUSAND TIMES PLEASE write anohter gallager book with zach,cammie and josh. i love your books i wante to know what happens next. i begging you write another book.
thanks for the tip. still debating if i should do the contest but if i do i will definitely take your advice.
now, about "the disreputable history of frankie landau-banks" (wow, long title!). i read it earlier this week but surprisingly i didn't enjoy it as much as i thought i would. i really liked it, it's just that i didn't like the ending.

I got The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, but I have to say, it was kind of hard for me to pay attention to it. The beginning was kind of confusing.
The contest sounds great! I can't wait to get started!
Great tip, thanks!
(& I love the I am Switzerland T's!)
hey ally!
thanks for letting us know that!
Ally, I'm still debating the contest. Any tips for computer-ly-challenged people?
Great advice from a Great author who writes Great books for Great readers!
so now we're up to GG3! And a T-shirt contest, which is super cool and im so excited to see the results (but since im computer challenged - and art challenged - im not entering myself - i'd have to rely too much on help from friends and stuff that it wouldn't be fair...)... this is awesome, seriously. when i first read GG1, i was so psyched and couldn't wait for GG2, and then it took me FOREVER to notice that little "visit the author's website at allycarter.com" (yeah, i failed in surveilence skills in spy-school)...
still, GREAT books! (and i hope the workload eases up a little - too much pressure is never a good thing.)

Okay, fellow GGs, I talked to a computer graphics artist and the two recommended software programs for the t-shirts are . . . drumroll. . .
Adobe Illustrator
and. . .
the slightly less expensive Corel Draw. Good luck, I'm totally looking forward to this!

They fired- the- basketball -coach -of -your -team-and-you -didn't-even -know-it? That stinks.
Well, thanks for the advice, and I hope you don't get too stressed. :)
I am sooooo excited for the t-shirt contest. Thanks for the advice.
I just read your post from March 31and it said there will be a new character. Is it a boy or girl? I have to know!!!!!
Hey ally, maybe it's my computer i don't know, but the side thingy that is usually on the diary with the 2 books and where you can click on to see diary entries from other months isn't there?..? I dont know where it went. It's a mystery/
ally,
i really liked...The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks...it was soo good. the only thing i didnt like about it was the ending! btw, thanks for the contest adviceee.
ALLY DID SAY THAT YOU WERE GONNA JUDGE THE CONTEST
OMG! I can not wait until the shirts are avaible to buy! I can't wait for them. I think it was a good idea to have this contest because alot of fans made the twilight teez and everyone loves those!!!
