T-shirts ahoy

April 14th, 2007 by Horrorwood

I visited Graph Design last week and we now have the sample T-shirts in hand. Even though I do say so myself the results were very pleasing.

2 designs were done using silk screens (Robots & Fiends) and 1 using digital printing (Skullboy). Both yielded very nice results but a slightly different feel. Fiends seem to work best as a screen print due to the simplicity of the design, and Skullboy really benefited from the vibrant colours that the digital printing can offer - apparently a slightly more expensive technique was used and this paid off with a nice mat finish as apposed to the usual horrible shininess.

先週Graph Designに行って、出来立てほやほやのTシャツのサンプルを見て来ました。自分で言うのもなん� けど、出来が凄く良かった。

全部で3三つのデザインがTシャツ化した。2枚がシルクスクリーン(ロボットとFiends)で、1枚は転写プリント(Skullboy)で作った。どちらともいい感じに仕上がったが、雰囲気がそれぞれ微妙に違う。Fiendsのデザインがかなりシンプルなので、シルクスクリーンに一番向いていると思う。写真では見にくいかも知れないけど、Skullboyは転写プリントのお陰で凄く鮮やかな色になった。Skullboyのデザインには普段よりちょっと高いテクニックを利用したらしい。そのため、よくあるダサいピカピカ感がなく、良い感じのマット仕上げになった。

Anyway I will stop rambling and let you have a look for yourself:

撮り合えず写真をアップします:

Each shirt will be available in various different colourways and sizes (including kids) and the Robots will be available as a tank top for the ladies (see above).

We are currently working on the packaging. Each shirt will come in a presentation box that also includes a few extra goodies as mentioned before.

Shirts should be available for purchase next month. Watch this space.

各デザインは様々な色合いとサイズで(キッズを含めて)展開する予定。それから、Robotのやつは(上記の)レディーズのタンクトップにもなる。

今、パッケージデザインは推敲中。各Tシャツはステキな箱に入れて、楽しいおまけも付いてる。

来月中に発売する予定。詳しい事は又ブログにアップします。

    I think the price on the street will be about 4500 yen but there may be “mates’ rates” for the right kind of mates.
