Hello, friends! Today, we would like to share with you our fascinating case studies - interesting projects made to order for our clients. We'll talk about our cooperation with a poker club, the development of creative chevrons for the military, and the creation of artwork in wooden frames according to the clients' wishes. But that's not all - we'll also share some non-standard orders, including the design of a large banner for a 3 by 6 meter billboard.
Our goal is to show you how we work: from the beginning of the process to the final results. We will briefly talk about communication with customers, intermediate stages and our creative processes.
We hope you will find it interesting!
OMEGA
Last year, we were approached by a military man who served in the Omega unit. He needed help in creating a chevron design, with the possibility of further ordering 130 T-shirts with this logo. He was inspired by our style of T-shirts and initially expressed a desire to get something similar.
We started designing, and soon came to a common agreement on the basic outline of the layout, which was to represent the Omega symbol, while the details and content were still under discussion.
We created about 15 variations, including scopes, crossed sniper rifles, and skulls, which we believed would maximize the design's impact.
However, given the diversity of tastes and preferences, we sought to strike a balance. It was important for us to take into account that not everyone likes the brutal style with skulls, so we were looking for something in between that would suit the majority.
In the end, we settled on a stylized image of a trident.
We decided to make the T-shirts in two colours, khaki and coyote.
This order was our first major special order, and we decided not to charge for the design, doing it on a volunteer basis. The military paid only the cost of materials.
The feedback was very positive, and it was an extremely pleasant and important experience for us.
KINGS
We were approached by the co-founder of the KINGS poker club in Kyiv, who was interested in our brand and offered to cooperate in the form of a collaboration. This proposal seemed very interesting to us, given the similar style and our common passion for cards and everything related to them.
The task was not only to create custom products, but also to ensure that the collaboration between our brands complemented each other. To begin with, we provided several of our T-shirts at a discount so that the client could make sure of their quality, which was an important criterion for him. Everything was in place, and it was time to start.
We started thinking about the concept of collaboration. One of the ideas included an image of poker chips surrounding a skull in a crown in the club's signature purple color. However, in the course of discussions with the client, we found out that they really liked the design of our "PRIDE" T-shirt and would like to style the layout in a way that would combine our brands.
We thought it was a great idea! We implemented this design using fluorescent purple ink that glows under UV light. We also replaced the inscription "PRIDE" on the ribbon with the name of the club "KINGS".
The shirts will be awarded to the winners of the tournaments and sold as club merchandise. It turned out very cool!
The customer was satisfied with the result, and we are glad that we were able to complete this project at the highest level.
P.S. The original PRIDE model can be purchased at the link below😉.
Chevrons
We were approached by a military man who wanted to design a personalized chevron. He was inspired by our social media and decided to contact us, even though he hadn't ordered anything from us before. At that time, we did not consider the possibility of cooperation and fulfilment of orders, but something told us that it was worth a try, and now we realize that it was not in vain.
The military man's call sign is 'Svitanok', and he explained that the dawn should be depicted. We created 7–8 variants, and, to be honest, we weren't sure that this was what we needed, as our style was different from the romantic one (unfortunately, we didn't have any examples of sketches in the development, only the finished version remained).
Having offered our sketches to the client, he chose one of the options, but some improvements were needed: to add sun rays in the style of the Japanese flag and remove some elements, as the client preferred minimalism. After several edits and adjustments, we think it turned out quite interesting.
The client liked it, and after a while he came back with a new order, which we will tell you about below...
After a while, this soldier returned with a request to design a chevron layout for his fellow soldier, whose call sign was "Malina".(Raspberries)
The customer described this man as "He loves girls like a Jew loves chicken" 😅.
The idea was to depict a silhouette of a girl interacting with a raspberry, as well as to add a signature on the chevron: "You're not mine if you don't love Malina"
We started developing the design and offered several concepts. The customer chose the most suitable option. However, an interesting feature was that it was difficult to organically fit the signature into the composition. Therefore, we suggested creating an additional chevron with the text in the same style and colour scheme as the main layout.
The result was impressive, and the customer was satisfied. Such projects bring not only material rewards, but also a special energy, motivating us to further development.
Artistic art
Few people know, but we started our journey not only with T-shirts, but also with a gallery of original artwork. These are our original photographs that have undergone special artistic processing and are framed in a high-quality wooden frame with the customer's signature.
We granted copyright to place these works in public places. So far, we have produced up to 10 such artworks, which you can see in the corresponding section on our website.
Currently, we are having difficulties with the contractor for the production of such frames. Therefore, if you have any contacts and are interested in cooperating in this area, we will be happy to consider your offer.
To date, we have successfully completed several orders in this area, and, to be honest, the results have been quite decent.
Such images will find a worthy place in the interior of a person who appreciates cosiness and special charm. We are sure that such people are close to us in spirit.
Original gift
We were approached by a military man with a request to redraw a small logo, but in the course of the conversation it turned out that this logo was to become part of a large billboard measuring 3 by 6 meters.
The billboard was to be a birthday present from his fellow soldiers.
It was quite an original gift.
The client provided a photo as a basis for the design.
We made colour correction, added atmospheric treatment to the composition, developed the style, designed the necessary text with fonts, and arranged the elements according to the requirements. We also prepared the layout for printing large images.
The result was perfect and the client was satisfied. Great job!
Music in the heart
A nice girl came to us with a desire to realize her ideas in the form of unique prints on two T-shirts.
Her concept was to embody her favourite band Noize MC on T-shirts. The girl already had an idea and an almost ready-made vision of the result, and she also provided us with her blank T-shirts for application.
Our task was to prepare the image for printing: to add ideas and create a layout for further application.
On the gray T-shirt, we implemented a picture from one of the artist's albums.
We processed and cleaned the image, chose a suitable font, and created a distinctive signature.
A white T-shirt with the Swan Lake print, also inspired by the artist's album, was added with a guitar fretboard for this song. It turned out to be quite original.
She was pleased with the result, although she regretted using her own T-shirts for this project.
Since then, we have offered to produce images only on our branded T-shirts to provide you with high quality.
