While spring is coming (now hopefully to stay) we´re coming up with a weekly selection in GREY.
Not sure if this is funny, but we have to deal with it! :) Please let me hear a big applause for our this weeks finalists!
Rockers!

Rama lama ding dong, here we are with the results of our nerdy special contest.
To be honest, we´ve had other designs in mind while thinking about a nerd contest. A bit more fashioned stuff for nerds rather than making fun of them. We´ve seen that our designers struggled hard, not to submit floppy disks or USB plugs with eyes and arms. ;) Some designs were really interesting and definitely a favourite of ours, but the scores … yep, the scores… phew!
The “Digital Geekfection” had been very close to our idea of what a trendy Nerd T-Shirt should look like. In the end the cuteness of “I am an AI” did conquer the hearts of the laFraise girls and the decision was done. Rewarding the good voting result of “Computer Bug” has been a must too, so we ended up with the ranking below.
Congrats to our winners! The next contest will be easier! Promise!
Rockers!

Hello Fraisiens!
Death seems to be an everlasting topic at our contest and that´s one of the reasons why we´ve decided to chose “Spaghetti Western” for a print. It´s a classic “fraisien” shirt story and a nice idea. Same for “Mummy Moon“. We´ve thought this would be a simple and unique eye catcher. Though “Skin Problem” by Scro/Lufograf has reentered our contest and had a minimalistic better score and we loved it, but it hasn’t conviced us with the skin problems as the mummy did. Congratulations, too for Oktopussapiens’ for his fantasy design, which opens up a great view below the sea level.

Solidays is the pinnacle of the annual Solidarité Sida festival in France. It is an association designed to spread awareness
for Aids amongst young people. Every year the festival attracts some 160,000 spectators at the racecourse of Longchamp.
A host of events including animations, exhibitions, bungee jumping etc. as well as actions for Aids prevention will be held
on 5 stages for a total of 3 days. More than 200 artists, some 100 societies and associations as well as over 1,000 voluntary workers all take part in creating a truly memorable event.
This is all centred around a simple humanitarian idea – collect money to help anti-Aids campaigns all over the world. In doing so, Solidays managed to collect a total of €1.5 million. This is made possible by e.g. selling t-shirts and other goodies that have been created and produced by Solidarité Sida. To create the designs for the collection, quite a number of graphic designers are involved each year.
The Solidays are a trademark for music, prevention on youth. And of course solidarity, fun… and more. For a lot of young people and their friends, Solidays is the first of many events that they do not want to miss as it conveys quite a unique holiday-feeling. The motto ‘In Love We Trust’ will also ring true this year.
And Love is always written in capitals – whether it is Love for a single person (regardless of sexual orientation) or Love for people in general (expressed by solidarity, openness, tolerance). After all, Solidarité Sida is devoted to fight a dangerous disease. It is about bringing people together, to make people show solidarity, and to fight clishées and break with taboos.
The Solidays are ideally suited to make young people and those who are still young at heart exchange ideas on those many beautiful as well as dangerous sides of Love. At the forefront you will always find joy and togetherness, Love and music.
Here you can discover the esprit that is Solidays: http://www.solidays.org
The Contest
- create your own design for this year’s motto ‘In Love We Trust’, but you shouldn’t use necessarily the motto itself. It should not be specific to a particular sexual orientation and have a somewhat general nature, so that it can also be used for future events.
- the design should mainly be usable for textile print (on t-shirts, bags, bibs). Further use will not be excluded (i.e. for goodies).
T-shirts containing a message have been well received in recent years.
- timeless
- without reference to any event or year
- a graphic design and/or a graphic illustration of a message for the Solidays t-shirt ‘In Love We Trust’.
- 12 colours max.
- you may use Solidarité Sida’s logo
- tags: festival, activating, love, colour, music, tolarance, pizzazz, oomph, fight, rock’n’roll, trendy, fun, togetherness, solidarity, support, party, differences, dancing, concert, cheeky, wicked, humour, encounter, high

The contest begins on 8 April at 3:30 pm and you can submit until 22 April at 3:30 pm. Voting ends a week later on 29 April at 3:30 pm.

You want music, fun and Love? Then come join us at the racecourse in Longchamps from 28-30 June 2013!
Whilst we are singing “Dancing On The Ceiling“ we´re very excited for this week’s winner release in our shop. We´ve been hoping for a typographic t-shirt since months ;) By the way, there´ll be a Typography Special Contest in spring, but more details later!
Scitchman’s design was really funny but unfortunately he couldn´t gain enough scores or preorders for a print, so we decided to give him a free t-shirt.
We hope you´ll like our selection and we wish you a relaxed easter weekend. We´re off for some days! Yay!
yours,
laFraise
Rockers!

Don´t ask me why but I´m always remembering the song “Cry me a river” when reading the title “Draw me a rover“. If this was supposed to be like that?
In opposite to the song, we´re really in love with this design and happy that you did express this in votes! Malo has still some designs left, waiting for release but we can say that they all be published within the next weeks.
By making the choice for “Club Mustache” we´ve been d´accord with the votings and decided to give L.P. as a mostly unknown artist, support with this print. And we´re sure that this shirt wil definately find it´s lovers, too.
“Knock, Knock, Knock” has had a very big score, but the whole team could not imagine this one as a shirt design on laFraise. Instead it is a very beautiful illustration for a child´s book. That´s why it is placed on stage no. 2.
We really did like “Leaving It’s Mark” but the scores we´re not hat strong so the 3rd place is a nice gift from our side to FromDan.
Thanks for taking part again at our weekly contest and have a nice week!

Leaving It’s Mark by FromDan
Geeks and nerds have always held a special place in society as outsiders. They’re sometimes seen as oddballs and freaks left alone to their passions, but they’re not as alone as you would think. At least not anymore.
Now that geeky and nerdy has made its mark on the fashion scene, you can get away with showing up to a party in thick glasses and suspenders. Pocket protectors? Totally trendy! What does it mean to be a nerd these days – can you even pick an authentic one out of the crowd?
So that’s just about what we are looking for. What would the ultimate nerd shirt look like? Find the nerdiest geekster idea and submit it to our contest!
We’re looking to define the line that makes up a modern nerd and the winner that convinces best will be rewarded with a €1,500 prize.
Here you can read the briefing!
The contest begins on 18 March at 3:30 pm and you can submit until 1 April at 3:30 pm. Voting ends a week later on 8 April at 3:30 pm.
We’re looking forward to your ideas!
Let your nerd out,
Your laFraise Team
