Stay true to who you are & represent the honesty in life with a Stay True tee. Also get some sweet prints!

I live by these words “Stay True” – in what I believe in, in what I do, and most importantly, who I am. I want to represent and share the honesty in life with these words. That’s why I need your help.

Who I am

I’m Brent Galloway, a freelance graphic designer in Ohio who loves to wear cool t-shirts. My goal with this Kickstarter project is to help bring my work from the digital world and into yours. With your help, I can fund the project while minimizing financial risk.

You can learn more about me and what I do here: brentgalloway.me/about

Details on the Stay True t-shirt

The Stay True shirt is a representation on how you choose to live life. No matter your beliefs, no matter your lifestyle, you stay true to yourself and you should be proud of it. That’s what this shirt is about and that’s what I want us all to show when we wear it.

The shirts, prints and stickers are going to be printed by Jakprints right here in Ohio. I've been working with my rep for over a month planning the products, and I know they're going to do an amazing job.

The design is going to be printed on a soft unisex heather black poly-cotton American Apparel shirt. Future runs of this shirt and all future products (shirts, prints, digital goods) will be sold in my online shop.

If and I’m hoping when this project is a success, I’ll be developing the official online shop for these and all future products. All future runs of these products will most likely be sold at a higher price, so be sure to jump in on it while the price is down!

What the money is going to

I’ve already put in a lot of my time and money into planning this first run of products. So to actually put them into production, I need some help. That’s where you and your friends/family come in! With your help, I can produce these products and ship them out to you.

Majority of the money is going to the production of the Stay True t-shirt – the rest is going towards the production of the two prints, stickers, buttons, shipping materials, and service fees.

Rewards

Here's a breakdown of what you'll get for backing my project:

Stay True Wallpaper – With every reward you'll get a download to a Stay True wallpaper set. (Various desktop resolutions, iPad & iPhone)

Your Own T-Shirt Design (Limited 1) – I will personally work with you to design your very own t-shirt. It can be a gift for some friends, an organization event, or just something you want to hand out. You will get 10 of your very own t-shirts printed of a single color design (any size combo). You'll also receive a Stay True t-shirt, both (or two of the same) prints, a sticker, and a button.

*I will not create any vulgar or offensive designs*

Thank you for your support!

Special thanks to my close family and friends who've always supported me, as well as every one of you who either backed me or just stopped by to check out my project.

I also want to give special thanks to Jeff Finley for his book, Thread's Not Dead. It played a key role in the entire process of this project. Without it's amazing resources, I wouldn't have known where to start. (Check out my video review of his book here: http://youtu.be/WFOK6iq7Ftc)

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Being a freelance graphic designer and solo business-man, everything is a risk. I'm taking a huge step forward in my career by presenting physical products to you, and learning the challenges of production and shipping is a whole challenge in itself for sure – but I assure you that I will communicate any and all complications along the way. Like said, I live by the words "stay true", so that's exactly what I plan to do.

With the help of all of you, my friends and family – I know I can push through any issues that arise, and I'm grateful to have such an amazing support system.
