About Marathon T-Shirt Grafika
Jako doplňková služba pro maratónské běžce byly originální ikony navrženy a poskytnuty jako štítky pro přenos tepla, aby vytvořily jedinečná trička na míru v kavárně v Tokiu. Aby se stal nezapomenutelným dárkem pro běžce z celého světa, ikony se odrážely na tématech Japonska a maratonu, jako je hora Fuji, mapa Japonska, origami, běžecké boty a maratónští běžci.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- To design original icons & create one of a kind T-shirt for the marathon runners as a complimentary gift service at a cafe in Tokyo, Japan. (all of the marathon attendees get T-shirts and they can apply the target/or finish time and icons of their favorite selections to their T-shirts.) The purpose of this T-shirt customization event is to create a special reward for marathon runners, and to increase the awareness of the cafe.
- Dimensions & Packaging

- Tags
- Icons, Design, T-shirt Design, Graphic Design
- Production Technology
- The designs were made in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. All of the icons are created as a shimmer/metallic heat transfer labels so that we could apply these heat transfer labels to the T-shirt at the event.
- Design Challenge
- Many Japanese brands are creating lots of Japan-theme designs to attract global tourists, so it was very challenging not to be the same designs/styles that have been released already.
- Research
- First, I researched the keyword of Tokyo and Marathon, then came up with 3 different concept ideas (Mini Lifestyle, Minimal Japan, and Pixel Japan).
- Inspiration
- I tried to keep consistent with the concept of marathon, runner, and Tokyo in this minimal icons. All of the icons had to relate to these 3 concepts.
- Project Duration
- Proposal submitted in Feb 13th, 2019, and executed the event in Feb 28 - March 4th, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan.
- Operation Flow
- Marathon runners were not only coming from Japan, but also worldwide. To be able to make the design attractive for global marathon runners, I focused on the the design as simple yet intelligible as possible.
