that is a pretty good deal! I just double checked, if we get 20 ppl it is $100 each!
here's the link:
http://arsenal.gomedia.us/black-friday-deals-on-the-arsenal.html (http://arsenal.gomedia.us/black-friday-deals-on-the-arsenal.html)
it does not have a lot of different types of art, but there is still plenty of useful content.
I am in!
we need 18 more!
pierre
-
OK... I'll be #3. The deal isn't active 'till Monday... hopefully someone will post a reminder.
-
The way I read the ad, it's like Groupon, or Got Daily Deals, or so many of today's "group"
offers. The twenty don't need to be together, just at least twenty, from all sources to make it worth Go Media's time. (As well as incentive for you guys to sell for them)
So, assuming that they Tweet and post on Facebook and another half dozen forums, you guys shouldn't have a problem.
-
Seems like a nice score for $100, count me in as #4. A reminder would be good.
-
The sad thing about deals like this is many folks will not bother until they know they can get it....I will not put my CC# out there unless I know the sale will go through.......
-
I'm in...screw it! :)
-
anybody else?
-
I'm in, I really like the proofs, I would love to convert those into monochrome bitmaps for corel. We'll see how that goes.
-
im on the fence about it. . .I would rather have the shirt mock up, but 234.00 is kinda steep. 100.00 is a steal for any quality vector graphics though, hell I'm in. . .just looked again, man I want those damn shirt templates. beats the crap out of the ones I'm using from advanced.
-
the ones from advanced are pretty sweet, I am just missing a few good ones like polos. I hope it has pocket tees.
-
I am in as well.
-
Count me in... I just wrote myself a sticky note and set an alarm on my phone to remind myself!
-
Count me in.
-
OK, we have 11 in so far! Few more to go . . .
on a side note, there is only a small number of shirt templates included.
here's the link to included garment templates:
http://arsenal.gomedia.us/index.php?target=products&product_id=30045 (http://arsenal.gomedia.us/index.php?target=products&product_id=30045)
I am guessing that many here were thinking that all the garment templates are included (myself included) and that is not the case. I'll drop the author a line to see if he would include them for another $10 or $15. . .
Even without the templates, there is a lot of art there!
pierre
-
I'm thinking about it :)
-
P I was assuming the shirt template were not included, seeing it is called vector art, but that's great that some are! I would pay upwards of another 50.00 for those templates, but not 235.00 - that is just way too crazy, I can make my own but I don't have the time.
DK is in, so that makes 12
peer pressure is a mother. . .

If we stop at 19, you ARE! Even if I have to pay for it . . .
Also, I emailed the artist and asked about the templates, we'll see what he says.

:-* sure are buddy..

my artist traces stuff wicked fast. like he can crash corel he goes so fast. I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything fresh and to dump the built up junk over the years. Now it's fine, but sheesh, that boy can move.
-
:-*
-
monday morning reminder.
-
Pierre, any news from the artist?
Also, do we need to have 20 from this forum, or that is for any 20 people on the net? I have not see anywhere that it says that it needs to be 20 people from one place.
-
Pretty sure it means 20 whoever people with valid CC #'s.
What's the count? 12?
-
The deal is on, over 125 people have joined!

go here, it's live and running!
-
if you can, sit tight! I am still waiting for the answer and am hopeful that we might have the templates added for a few bucks more!
Let's give it a deadline of 1pm Eastern time to see if they get back to us.
pierre
-
Standing by with CC in hand....
-
1 PM it is then :)
-
good going P, never hurts to ask. 1pm it is. 150 people x 100.00ea = one hell of a monday sale huh? nice.
-
huh!!!
turns out the guys are from CLEVELAND!!!! I"ll give them a call.
pierre
-
I'm in, plus I'll wait for 1 PM to see if they do throw in the templates. What special thing might we have to do to get those as well?
Steve
Hey Pierre, send me a bill for the films when you get a chance...
-
huh!!!
turns out the guys are from CLEVELAND!!!! I"ll give them a call.
pierre
That won't scare too many away. One can't always help where they're from! lol!
Hell, remember at least two other industry players who couldn't be more opposite, but who also have roots in Cleveland. Me, and the inspiration for this board!

I'm glad that "the inspiration" is not in CLE area any more :)

I am in.

I've purchased some of their items in the past, both the templates and vector artwork. They are very nicely created and very helpful with some of our artwork. I got their email about a week ago about this sale so I intend on purchasing as well.
-
OK,
just got off the phone . . . they are unable to add the templates to this deal, but are willing to do another one for us some time down the road. They said in a week or two and it would be at least 50% off, but could not tell how much. We would need 20 ppl to make that happen.
I did have to offer them some free advertising to get them to bite. So we are looking out for our members!!!
If you guys don't mind, when purchasing, put "from theshirtboard.com" in the comment so they know we are serious.
thanx RMONKS for finding the deal and bringing it up!!!
pierre
-
OK, it looks like they have a referral system in place.
use this link to purchase:
http://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/173349/entries/new?referral_entry_id=37525209 (http://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/173349/entries/new?referral_entry_id=37525209)
this way they will know it is coming from us . . .
pierre
-
I'm impatient, I'm buying it now. Thanks for doing the legwork P. I'll look forward to that other offer, sounds like a deal on that too.
-
just bought mine....
-
Done!
-
...been watching this thread from my phone (no comp over the weekend), and wanting to let you guys know I was in too. I pulled the trigger as well....thanks a ton gang, this is awesome!!
-
205 so far. That's $20,500. Nice way to start the week.
-
I'll be purchasing as soon as I get my home/office computer.
I do not want to download files at work :)
-
its not locked yet so youll have time.
-
Just paid for mine, used the link, plugged the forum, expressed interest in template group buy later.
-
You can mark me down as paid.
-
I have made my purchase, using the referall link.

205 so far. That's $20,500. Nice way to start the week.
236 now. Nice chunk of change for a Monday morning.

that was my initial thought then I checked out their web page and found out they have a handful of ppl and a large office. My guess is the money is a drop in a bucket for them . . .

I would say so after seeing that lobby.
-
I've purchased through the supplied group link, but I have not received a download link yet. Am I the only one or am I missing something?

no link here yet either, the payment process did say it was gonna come later. I did talk to them on the phone and they are a legit company. 'not concerned with it. My guess is that they will also stagger the downloads as at 80+MB each the amount could kill their servers.

I am in.

Jeff came back to me on the templates. They put together a deal where they are 50% off. It is good deal, but not as good as the vectors.
here's the link to the description:
http://arsenal.gomedia.us/ultimate-mockup-template-collection-2-1.html (http://arsenal.gomedia.us/ultimate-mockup-template-collection-2-1.html)
and the link to the deal:
http://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/175619 (http://promoshq.wildfireapp.com/website/6/contests/175619)
I'd like to get some feedback and if needed go back to them with a request. My thinking is I would prefer less stuff for less money. So instead all the templates, maybe we include just the shirts and the hoodies, but still at the 50% discount.
Any suggestions?
pierre
-
Vector lab has some nice t-shirt mock-ups.... the shirt colors are infinite. I don't think that is the case with arsenals Gomedia.
http://thevectorlab.com/product.php?productid=16328&cat=259&page=1 (http://thevectorlab.com/product.php?productid=16328&cat=259&page=1)
Plus... Vector lab has heather overlays. Here's their demo video (bottom of page).
http://thevectorlab.com/pages.php?pageid=14 (http://thevectorlab.com/pages.php?pageid=14)
-
Do you guys know that you can get all the stuff from Sanmar web site? Why you do not pick up the shirts image in the correct color from Sanmar and then do a mock-up on it?
Just wondering
-
I find what I really wish for is templates for things like sleeves side view, and sweat pants side view.
-
I bought in, waiting for the link to download. I read and re-read the order acknowledgment and couldn't find a link to download, so now I know to be patient. I won't be in on the templates, because we've already drawn a zillion of them, maybe not as sexy as theirs, but not crappy either.
Steve
-
I made a purchase.
Templates are nice, but $100 is still a bit too much :)
-
no link here either..
I like the way they have the templates set up, they just look a ton than the standard ones from Sanmar and Advanced. I agree with P, I would be pleased with a few views of a hoodie, polo, t-shirt and a long sleeve. No need for every shirt, just the basics -50.00 worth. I already have templates, and like you said most are free if you look in the right places, so dropping 235.00 is a real kick in the teeth. even 100.00 for templates is a little steep. I used Fashion Factory templates daily, but they just get a little old.

I'd go for either the full package or a reduced one, whatever. To me those templates are really slick and $100 is cheap for all of that. I would make use of most of them so either way I'd be down.
-
Has our group met the required 20 orders yet? That maybe why there is no link. My read that they will email me to inform me that group deal is on.
Thanks for committing to purchase the following group deal from Go Media: $100 for $570 worth of Vectors from Go Media's Arsenal. You will not be charged unless the deal is on. Don't worry, we will send you a note at the conclusion of the campaign to let you know if the deal is on or off. If you haven't done so already, promote this deal to your friends to help increase the chances that the deal will be unlocked!
-
With any of the other many group buy sites happening right now, like Groupon, the product is not made available until the deal is done.
-
I just purchased through your link and it said "you got the deal" I don't know if that is what it said for everyone else or not.
-
Mine just said "We'll let you know" or something like that. I was number 125.
-
281 bought, that is right now. Over 12 hours left
-
300 now, I know pierre thinks that not a big money day, but that is big, even to them. top that with the other deals they have going on, and they should have a merry christmas.
-
30K minus the commission for referrals (affiliates), is nice chunk of change for basically replying on a few emails.
All the work was already done.
-
The problem is in my opinion, it devalues their work. I have never purchased anything from them before and I probably won't again, unless their is another killer deal like this. Also, how would you like to have dropped $570 on the deal, only to find out that you could have paid $100 for it?
Of course I am not complaining, this is something companies must be aware of with these type deals. My wife and I eat out on coupons only. Yeah, we like some of the places, but frankly, it's not worth it without a BOGO or something like that.

FYI, not sure about anybody else, but there is no kickback to us for buying through the provided link.
Also, our deal on the templates is not as good as they did not want to have another deal too soon. Jeff said one a year is more than enough and it sounded like they were not going to do another one until next cyber Monday (I might have read him wrong, but that was the impression I got).
I think I am out on the templates deal. For the most part, I have created similar stuff in Photoshop before so it is not hard to do and more than anything else, I use illustrator for templates and having to export to Photoshop would be an extra step and extra work I don't really need right now (not enough hours in a day as it is, no need to make things more time consuming!).
pierre
-
i agree about the templates. I have most of what I need. I use them almost daily, but it would be nice to have a few more in my "arsenal" ;D
-

I'm not talking about yours, everybody got the link like that in initial email from them.
They have affiliate accounts, and they pay percentage to those who have them on their sites.
That is why I have a FatCow's on my site.
-
Anyone get a link to download yet? (patiently waiting...)
Steve
-
Nope
-
No, we probably won't know anything until midnight.
-
Relax. I do three or four "group buys" a month, and I usually can not download or redeem my certificate, or voucher or whatever until the deal is done, or the next day.
-
I know that I should not be concerned about this, but I'm wondering did you all get the "Voucher" email with no instructions on where and how to download?
-
yep!
-
i was wondering the same thing. I think they might have missed that. Chances are somebody else emailed them and I really don't want to be one of the hundreds of extra emails wondering where my link is. I'll wait until the end of the day.
-
just got my instructions and code in my email.....
-
just got my instructions and code in my email.....
same here, and already downloaded everything!
pierre
-
I will say this.... That was $100 well spent. Like I told my wife those are some great elements to throw into designs that will pay for themselves in no time.
-
Ok cool, so who want to share with me LOL?

You can go to Jaxprints and DL all of theirs, they have them up for DL so why not?
http://www.jakprints.com/file-prep/apparel.php (http://www.jakprints.com/file-prep/apparel.php)
A lot of my customers use AA models for their life like mock ups.
-
these things freeze up my computer and won't import to X3 -anyone else having issues or do I need to kick my computer in the balls?
-
buy a new computer...or x4. x4 rocks over x3, x5 is awful.
-
The ones I have from them work fine in X4. I use the EPS versions.
-
I have issues downloading, anybody else?
I was able to download only 4 sets
-
i will be downloading tonight, how many sets are there?
-
I got all 20 sets, the first few I opened are fine, don't really have time to check them all.
Steve
-
There is 20 sets all together. I was able to talk to Kim and she was able to send the rest of them to me via YouSendIt
-
I have issues downloading, anybody else?
I was able to download only 4 sets
everything downloaded fine and is opening fine in Illustrator. Art is as described. I've already made a new shirt template from one of the pieces included in the bundle (for Vector art).
Anybody having trouble downloading, let me know. If we figure out a way to verify the purchase, I can email it or make it available for download.
pierre
-
did anybody get that it says you have an additional discount of $100 making it free? Though I paid with my credit card, usually they don't charge until they actually "ship" (download), but my receipt says "Unit Price $570.00, Discount $570.00, Order total $0.00." Huh? Not that I mind; I guess I'll check the credit card tomorrow when I have some time. We're unbelievably busy for this time of year.

Steve, you are good. No need to enter credit card info again.
They seem really nice people, they had to send me files via YouSendIt. It is all good now
-
Ok I've down loaded the files and I have to say I'm kind of pissed off.....for one, the files will not open in X4 at all so i have to use freaking AI and second i have looked through all of them and have only seen a hand full of things the interest me, the hotrod monsters is probably the best thing in there. I'm still trying to find the cost value of a $100 much less $570...i would have asked for a refund if i paid 570, maybe im being cheap but most of it looks like high res photos of sh!t, converted to black and white and auto traced, just my opinion......next time i would much rather get these guys to do something for cyber monday http://www.tshirt-factory.com/ (http://www.tshirt-factory.com/)

yes, there is not a large number of "front and center" type of art, there's much more background and effects type of stuff. Did you not check it out before purchasing?

i gues i dont check it out, im not that pissed i just wish it worked in corel thats all, even the eps file say error. this means i will have to open with AI and export to corel.
-
download the "copy to ai clipboard" from the oberon site, it's a TON easier.
-
I have to do the same, mine error out too. I am upgrading to x4 now-I just needed a reason to do it, so I guess it's time. I'm happy with what I have seen, I checked them out in Illy, I have a job coming up that will pay for it so that's fine by me. great find.
Brad -check your pm.
-
if you run both illy and corel, I highly recommend the "copy to AI clipboard" from oberon. I have shortcut buttons in my workspace that really speed things up.

most of the files I went through were very clean and with lots of detail. They do look pretty bad in the preview, but are super crisp once opened up. If you are having an issue with something, let me know. I can try to convert here (Illustrator and Corel) and see if I can help.
pierre
-
I will warn anyone right now that is thinking of upgrading Corel absolutely do not get X5. It has to be the worse POS I ever got from them since the beginning.
-
I agree 100%. I like the direction they are going with color management, I just feel like it's too confusing. X6 should be back on track.
-
Color management is way beyond my comprehension and a pain to nail down. But thats not my issue with it. It seems to be the most unstable version ever for one, my custom settings always change and I mean always. I find my self having to reset things every single day. Things like the mesh tool are still a joke. Forget this I am stopping before i get carried away.
-
I haven't used it since about a month after I bought it. X4 is still the best version. Even the artist I hired said he loathes X5...so it's a common theme.
-
when does the next version X6? come out?
-
Files are OK for a $100, but not worth $570 in my opinion.
-
I agree 100%, $570 is way too much for that stuff.
Homer, I think it will be out first quarter of next year...that is total guess though, they have no release date.
-
Files are OK for a $100, but not worth $570 in my opinion.
just think -they billed out over 20k for that stuff. . .in one day. . .a great artist with time and a ton of facebook connections can make a nice living on t art. . .
thanks B
-
try over 30K
