I'm allocating 30% of the payout of this post to be spent for printing these shirts and give them for free!

I am designing these shirts to be used for the Promo-Steem campaign that we are planning to launch and share the opportunity that Steem offers to our community. This is very special to me because I am planning to promote Steemit to students in high schools and universities!

The good news for this campaign is that I have collaborated with my good friend @julstamban to give these shirts for free not only in our community here but also for his community there. I live in the central part of the Philippines (Visayas) and @julstamban lives in the northern part (Luzon) so we think that this is a better opportunity to synchronize our goals.

• I chose this design because I'd like to keep things simple. I want to make Steem and Steem become more focused when they see the shirt. Simplistic designs are commonly used to directly target the audience what you are promoting and it's Steemit/Steem for this design.

I'll give you a closer look at each of the designs and I'll explain why I and @julstamban have decided to have this pushed.

📌 I chose Steem to be placed in the middle of the shirt, covering the biggest portion to give emphasis that this is all about the cryptocurrency STEEM. The rewards we receive are in the form of cryptocurrency. This will also grab the attention of other people (especially the investors) that Steem as a currency is changing people's lives.

📌 Post | Engage | Earn - is a tagline that catches the attention of someone who reads the shirt. Imagine you can earn by posting content and engagement? That sounds fun! We want students who joined Steemit to post, engage, and earn rewards that they can use to fund their education.

📌 Steemit + Steemit Logo at the back - the back portion design is very common to most shirts that exist today. I followed the same pattern because it looks so neat. When we mention Steem, we can't mention Steemit. Steemit platform has been changing our lives for the better.

📌SK Logo - Since @stephenkendal launched 100 Steem Campaign under #onehundredsteem tag to support promoters around the globe to help fun the printing of Shirts and Steemit materials. I am joining the contest and hope to get the funding because these shirts will provide two communities in the Philippines. @jassennessaj in the Visayas (central) and @julstamban in Luzon (northern). Who knows, someone will reach out to me and have his campaign in Mindanao (southern).

Promoting Steem is very special to me and has been the thing that I was doing. It gives me pleasure to share the opportunity with them and guide them to become active members of the platform. Not only that, the platform gave us a bond that's worth remembering especially the basketball meetups!

I'm excited to launch this campaign again and transform lives for our students! The pandemic has brought a huge hindrance to their education especially the financial aspect. Many jobs have been lost, our dear students have to suffer. With the help of Steem, their post rewards might solve their financial problems.

The Plan

Please note that I am giving these shirts to them FOR FREE and never a single penny that they would spend for it. I am giving this shirt physically and so I have to meet them! Of course, I'll adhere to the rules of social distancing and protocols implemented by the government.

I'm hoping I can speed up the process and start giving these shirts by around the 22nd of April via physical meetup! This one is very much special because @julstamban is also launching Steemit facemask and we can give those facemasks also aside from the shirts for free! You can check the post here.
