Welcome to Chadbourn Cool's Design Blog. I am the website builder and graphic designer of the Chadbourn Cool team. If you've been following our Facebook page, you'll know I am experimenting with creating t-shirts and gifts with a Chadbourn and local vicinity connection. I am working through Zazzle which allows me to create things in cyberspace and sell them without having to invest in stock or a storefront.
I draw my designs by hand with a mouse, using PowerPoint and then convert them to .png files. If that is gibberish to you, just pretend you didn't see that. If it isn't gibberish, you will wonder why in the heck do I draw my stuff in PowerPoint instead of something made for artists such as PaintShop or some such. Well, I have always made do with what I had. I've been a computer geek for a long time, and I have found that you can make computer programs do all sorts of things they weren't intended to do. You just need a little imagination, and I have a lot of that.
Above is my Carolina Jasmine t-shirt. I always think of yellow jasmine when I think of the Chadbourn area of North Carolina--even though it is the South Carolina state flower. The design is sharp in real life, but it is hard to photograph.
