We have some great ideas but none of us can draw. We need your help with designs and art for any or all of these projects:
1. “Gone Fishing” T-shirt
A person is standing in a boat, fishing. The lake is full, not of fish but of little numbers: “.14″, “.31″, “.08″, etc etc. And also a few shiny glittery numbers like “.04″, “.01″, “.03″. The fisherman is reeling in a glittering “.05″. Then, next to him on the boat is a bucket with a few shiny “.04″‘s and “.03″‘s.
Possible titles:
- Teach the Controversy (as in here).
– This is Science?
– Psychological Science
– Or we could play it straight and give it the title, We Can Do Better Than This.
In any case, all this would be on the back, and then the front would just have a tasteful Stan logo over the pocket. Or something like that.
2. “Garden of Forking Paths” T-shirt
Something similar with a “forking paths” design. I’m not quite sure how to do it.
3. “Tabloid Science” T-shirt
Some sort of collage of all the “power = .06″ studies we talk about here: himmicanes and hurricanes, beauty and sex ratio, ovulation and just about anything, MRI’s, etc etc, we must have dozens of examples so we could just cram them in to a single overstuffed image.
Or maybe do it as a mock-up of a tabloid newspaper, with the title “Psychological Science” (in that newspaper-title font like they have for the New York Times) and then various tabloid-style headlines laid out, newspaper style).
Then on the front: “Stan. We can do better.”
Or something like that. Use your creativity!
4. Handy Statistical Lexicon
I think this could work in the form of an illustrated book. This is for someone who really likes to draw!
5. “Second Chance U” and “The New Dirty Dozen” movie posters
I think these could be awesome. See here for the descriptions of the movies, to get a sense of what you’d be working with.
What I really want to see are the movies themselves, but that would take a lot of work. Maybe I can throw together a script or two sometime. Or at least a Gong Show act.
I’m serious!
I’m serious! Anyone who wants to draw any of the above, please let me know. There’s a free T-shirt in it for you. Also glory.
P.S. The submissions (from Ed Witt) are here.
