Master Blaster Tee at SheepStop
Sachin, who scored his 59th Test fifty on the second day of 3rd Test against New Zealand unfortunately missed his 50th test hundred. But the Master Blaster has a number of records to his credit and we are sure in no time he will set this record too!
With so many remarkable accomplishments in his career and countless fans of the same, Sachin’s design on SheepStop tee was long due. Thanks to all his fans for making this awesome tee win at SheepStop casino and thanks to the designer, Saksham and the printing team who has put in a lot of efforts to get this up.
When asked about how the design evolved in Saksham’s mind he says ” It had been quite some time I was looking for a topic for typography. An Indian theme, with God or was hovering in my mind quite often, but which God? India-New Zealand series was on and the news channel kept on running the news of the 50th test century of Sachin Tendulkar, it was then it occurred to me that why not make a caricature of Sachin with all his accolades. Already there are more Sachin lovers than people who love cricket, and that’s why Sachin is mostly referred to as God himself. I started out with Sachin’s most famous pose, and for typography I chose all his one-day career records. Typography is a tough subject and every designer knows about that and that’s why it needs special attention. I started out with his face. After my first attempt was successful, I got confident and what you see is further hours of tireless labor. I hope all of you like my attempt at recreating the magic of Sachin.”
This one is a sure treat for all sachin fans!

“A smile on a kids face is priceless” and SheepStop was glad to be able to bring out just that during the T-Shirt Gifting function held today at the premises of NGO Deep Griha in Pune.
Kids at Deep Griha are all smiles on receiving the Tees!
As a culmination of the T-Shirt donation drive organized by SheepStop and Deep Griha Society during the Joy of Giving week, a small function was arranged at the Deep Griha Family Welfare Centre located on Tadiwala Road near Pune Station. The function was attended by Dr. Neela Onawale, founder and head of the Deep Griha Society, volunteers from the participating companies, and more than a hundred underprivileged women and children who are part of the Deep Griha family.

SheepStop organized a drawing competition for the kids on this occasion and the winners were rewarded with brand new SheepStop Tees. The kids also presented a street play to raise awareness about the symptoms and cure for “Swine Flu”. This was followed by the T-Shirt Gifting ceremony at the hands of Dr. Onawale and the kids walked out clutching packs of tees and wide smiles on their faces. It was a perfect way to spread cheer and start off the Diwali festivities.

To ensure no scripts run at SheepStop’s ‘Join Now’ page and create fake accounts SheepStop uses ReCaptcha to identify a human.
Captcha services ask a user to type the words seen in a slightly distorted image. Now why create these distorted images when there are so many old books with naturally damaged pages resulting in such difficult to read words?
This idea is utilized by ReCaptcha. By entering the words in the box, the user helps in digitizing texts that were written before the computer age. The words that you see are taken directly from old texts that are being scanned and stored in digital format in order to preserve them and make them more accessible to the world. Since some of the words in these texts are difficult for computers to process, users contribute to help decipher them.
SheepStop loves this noble cause and embraces ReCaptcha!

Tapping talent in India is both easy and difficult, easy because it is available in plenty and difficult because it is so spread out that it is hard to tap into it all at once. In the quest to reach out to talented graphic designers we are visiting Design Schools and institutes in Pune / Mumbai. We will later expand this scope to pan-India and hopefully will visit all the top Design Schools in India soon. In the meantime, you designers can actually help us by referring SheepStop to all your colleagues and friends who might be interested in participating in all the fun. Here is the promotional poster that we are putting up in colleges, so if you see one in you school, you will know that SheepStop’s been there!

At SheepStop, we believe that the designers are at the core of everything that we do. We are just a platform to bring forward the best of the talent from nooks and corners of the world and make it into an awesome tee that everyone can appreciate and wear.
So as the first step we are reaching out to designers all across to be a part of the SheepStop community and to participate in the online design competitions. So our version of the famous quote “Manners maketh Man” would be “Designers maketh SheepStop”. So designers, go out there and have a ball!
