T-Shirt Contest

I won the T-Shirt contest! So not only will my design be on every new t-shirt but I also get drive on access to the school. Here at Universal there are the theme parks and the backlot. The back lot is where all everything behind the scenes goes on (ride repair, stages for recording movies, advertising etc. The school is located in the backlot which you need clearance to get into. Normal clearance covers just walking into the back lot. You need special permission to drive onto the backlot and I get that privilege for a while now!
I had a meeting today with the founder of the school who chose was judging the design. He asked if I could make a larger resolution image (bigger). Now I think this is common knowledge but I will explain anyways. A rasterized image (normal picture) has a certain resolution. Once you go beyond 100% the image becomes blurry/pixelated. A vector image on the other hand can be scaled up infinitely with no distortion or blurring. This is because vector images are driven by mathematical shapes. I never really took the time to teach myself about vectors to much because I never really needed them but, because Jeff (the founder of the school) wanted a larger resolution image/vector I though "What a great time to learn!" In about 2 hours I had converted my image into a vector. Now it can be scaled as big as the school wants!  Oh and he did as that I change the color around "DAVE" to be white just to make it pop a little so that was the only other change that I made to the design.
