General Guidelines:
1. Designs should incorporate both "AIChE" and "UCLA" into them. How this is done is up to the creative mind(s) of the designer(s) with the following guidelines in mind.
2. The design should only include solid colors as designs with color gradients will be more expensive and will not come out as intended anyways.
3. The design should not have too many colors as more colors drives up the cost.
4. The design should not be too complex otherwise the site's online designer won't pick up all the details.
5. The design should only be for the front of the shirt as the back of the shirt will be used to recognize the sponsors of the year (if our sponsorship for the year includes recognition).
6. If ordering tank tops, do not order women's tank tops. They were difficult to sell and the men's version was preferred anyways.
7. Ensure the final artwork the sites email back for approval is what you want and that there are no errors with the design.
