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: Each icon size is approximately around 30-40mm width/height.
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.
