Boxes!

April 21st, 2007 by Horrorwood

先週Graph Designに行って、Tシャツのパッケージについて打ち合わせした。注文した箱が届いたので、僕がデザインしたシールを貼って、サンプルを作って見た。先週決めた通り、完成品は箱に入れて、ちょっとしたおまけも付ける(インフォカードと各デザインに合わせた可愛いマグネットステッカー)。
以下の写真で完成品の雰囲気が分かると思う。

タグとラベルの話もして、Tシャツに僕達のオリジナルタグを付ける事も考えてる。
完成品が来週位に届くはず。ブログにまたアップするので、引続き要チェック!

Last week I had another meeting at Graph Design, this time to discuss packaging design for our T-shirts. The boxes that we had ordered had come in and we set about making up some samples. Each final product will be presented in a box along with a few extras as mentioned earlier - some info cards as well as a random magnet sticker based on each design.� Below are some pictures to give you an idea of what the finished products will look like.

We also discussed tags and labels and are considering hand stitching our own tags onto the shirts. The full batch should be in hand next week, so stay tuned.

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。

Step 1 to World Domination

April 5th, 2007 by Horrorwood

During my first Japanese exhibition that was held at the beginning of last month in Takamatsu, I had the good fortune to meet a Japanese couple who run their own� design office. For some reason they took a liking to my� art and before I knew it we had made an agreement to turn some of my designs into T-shirts.

この間、初めて高松で展示会を開催した時に、幸運なことにあるデザイナー夫婦と出会った。
なぜかその二人が僕のアートを凄く気に入ってくれて、気付いたらデザインをTシャツにするという約束をしてた。

No complaints from my end.

もちろん、こっちには文句がない。

Anyway, a� few weeks later and some prototypes are currently under production. We ran with 3 designs in various colourways. I have yet to see the results but they should be ready by next week.

とにかく、現在の時点では、いくつかの試作品が製� 中。三つのデザインを色んな色合いにする予定。
その試作品をま� 見てないけど、来週までにできると思う。

The plan is to create some high quality products in short runs. If all goes according to plan the T-shirts will be presented in boxes, hopefully along with some little extras in the form of a set. We are aiming for the beginning of summer for maximum effect.

これから、いくつかの質の高い商品を限られた数で作る予定。今回のTシャツは、おまけと一緒に楽しいボックスセットにしたいと思ってる。夏の初め� �までに発売する予定。

Keep you eyes peeled and in the meantime here are some pictures of us in the Graph Design office with the Matsuokas coming up with a few ideas.

発売までこのブログを要チェック!
取りあえずGRAPH DESIGN事務所にて、松岡夫妻との打合せ風景をUPします。

I will be posting some of the designs on the main site shortly.�

Tシャツのデザイン詳細を今週中にHORRORWOODホー� ページにUPする予定。
