If you’re a big music fan then you’ll be happy to hear about our new set of fan portals (coming soon)!  We’re thrilled that our partner, Live Nation, is inviting the creative CafePress community to create fan-designed merchandise for some of the most talented musical artists (see below).  You can start now!

Be sure to read the Design Guidelines as there are very specific rules that designers must adhere to in order for their content to be featured in and sold through the artist’s fan portal.  Click on the artist’s name below to view the design guidelines specific to that artist.  Please note that the guidelines may be more restrictive than the CafePress Content Usage Policy, however we need to respect the creative decisions of the artists.
