World Class

We've had the great pleasure of working with the guys at World Class Clothing Co. Their positive attitude and vision is definitely welcome here. We've been working closely with them and we can say that they will be making a statement in the apparel industry and MMA world. Check this mean eagle out for the 'Soar' tee.

Royal Ink -- Custom Writing

Custom writing for clothing companies is essential.  If you are starting your own line then it's a must for people to get familiar with your name and to see it in new and unique ways.  There are many designers out there and most of them are using the same fonts, if you are looking for a kick ass name branded tee then you are going to have to step out of the box and get creative with the letters.  Here is a piece we recently did for the great guys at Turmoil Nation.
1. Sketch out the writing.

2. Once we scanned our drawing to Photoshop we use the pen tool and start tracing. 

3. We adjust our writing by adding 2 parallel lines that flow with the T and then we manipulate our 'sketch' layer to make sure our letters are aligned perfectly...or use a ruler :)

4. Finish up all the letters using the pen tool.

5. Here we simply changed the color and added a drop shadow. 

6. Once you have all the elements in place you can rearrange them as you see fit.  We move nation to the bottom and since those tribal lines came out so sick we decided to make them bigger and bolder!

Apaprel design for Xzibit

This is a design we did specifically for Xzibit as he was getting ready for a world wide tour.  We had lots of fun doing this, we met with him at his Palms hotel suite here in Las Vegas, NV and he took the time to show us a sneak preview of one of his music videos! The design business is great!!!

Japan Depends on Me 2011

We had the great pleasure of working with the guys over at Sin City Car Scene for this Japan Relief event they successfully manage to put together.  Lots of people where proudly walking around with their JDM tees, 100% of the sale of this shirt goes to the Red Cross Japan so it was great to see so many people being so supportive.  We had a blast creating this simple, but effective design.

Apparel design -- Overall Printing

This is another one of our overall apparel designs.  As always, we start with paper and pencil and then open up a can of wup ass with a really big Wacom Tablet!  We take a lot of pride in our designs and it's a great feeling to see them printed the right way.  Anyone can start a clothing company, but not many take the extra step to invest in a custom design and then get that design printed the way the artist intended it to.  This is one of our favorite design printed by the great crew at HB Apparel!

Happy Farmers and happy client!

We had a blast with this project! Besides the typical business cards, postcards, and brochures that we designed and printed for the great guys at Happy Farmers, we also took it to another level and covered their store front with their custom die cut logo, store hours and covered their bottom and top windows with perforated window films.  To top it all off (and we must say that this is a first for us), we printed and custom cut their kick ass, life-size character proudly name "Bud". We then cut a hole on the face, created a custom stand for this gigantic piece of work and called it a day!
