Macbook

Hello all. This is HANNIBAL and I'm a full time employee, part time student, and full time creative force. I just love to create, and I have finally found a calling. I'm taking video editing classes right now that is part of a bigger Video Production certificate - which brings me to GoFundMe.      

I would love to have an edge as I continue this program, and having a Macbook Pro with the Adobe Creative Suite (the software I'll be using for nearly ALL of the classes) will give me that edge. It will allow me to work on things at home and not have to wait the one day a week I can use the software at my schools lab. 

In addition to the classes I'm taking, I am working on an idea for T-Shirts. If you go to a T-shirt shop or online site, you will see dozens of T-shirts for Classic Rockers (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Zeppelin), Rappers (Biggie, 2Pac), and other artists... but there is a lack of shirts representing the DIVAS O'D'Day (#MariahCarey voice). I feel like the LGBT community would love shirts that show off their love for acts like Madonna, Donna Summer, Liza, Beyonce et. al. and that's what I hope to do with a VARIETY of different ideas. The software will allow me to mock up my different ideas and get to selling. 

So this is my first attempt at Crowd Funding and I know an incentive to donate is necessary. What can I offer? 

Well, since I'm going to be using the software for T-shirts (and I hope to launch a full website Summer 2015, in the mean time testing out the merchandise at Street Fairs) - so here are three tiers of incentives... 

$500 donation - 3 T-shirts of your choice
$250 - 2 T-shirts of your choice
$100 - 1 T-shirt of your choice

And for smaller donations, you'll get a really cool Thank You card featuring some of the Art I create using the software.
