Color Meaning shoutOut 6 days, 18 hours ago by DuncanBoxie in peeps | 6 days, 18 hours ago by DuncanBoxie | 2

No matter who we are, or where we come from, color plays a huge role in our lives. It excites, it warns, it informs…it makes us think! Many people think that careful color consideration is only limited to the design world . However, various industries pay as much attention to color as the most hardcore Photoshop gurus . For instance consider the color ‘green’. In the design world and from a wider global perspective , green is the color of nature , of eco-awareness and health . This has been ingrained in our minds through years of marketing and associations. On the flip side in the medical profession , green is considered the color of infection . So if you were perhaps designing the new website layout for a medical clinic , it would be advisable to steer clear of this specific flavor. Another example of the culture gap when it comes to color is the popular meaning of white. In Western circles white is the color of purity and peace , while in China white is synonymous with death . Amazing how differently a color can affect the psyche of the individual. I have put together a small chart of popular colors: If you would like to see a more extensive list please click here . WHAT DOES COLOR MEAN TO YOU? Let us know if you agree with the above color listing, have I left anything out? As far as ‘color meaning’ goes in t-shirt design, it is also vital to choose shades that compliment your design and aid in getting your concept across. The first thing you need to consider is the color t-shirt you will place your design on. I don’t even know how many times I have seen amazing designs destroyed by poor choice of tee color…it’s a terrible phenomenon! Also, on our platform it’s important to know that we only accept 7 color per design. This in all honesty is more than enough to execute a superb design. However it can become a bit of a juggling act for those who can only pull off concepts with loads of color variation. This is often where the ‘new age’ t-shirt designer (no crystals folks) has a definite edge over the fine art and commercial graphic design crowd, who don’t have a firm grasp on the limitations of silkscreen printing etc. Being able to create a brilliant one color (minimal color) t-shirt job is one of the most difficult things you can do. You need to have a seriously clever concept and clear execution in order to make the most of minimal! COLOR IS LIFE :D |

ToiToy custom vinyl toy exhibition shoutOut 1 week, 1 day ago by DuncanBoxie in peeps | 6 days, 18 hours ago by DuncanBoxie | 4

Hi there all , While the crest of the vinyl toy revolution wave has broken and is well and truly over, it is nice to see that there is still magic in this amazing art form. Even though vinyl toys have become relatively commonplace in most urban centres around the world, they are still quite hard to get your hands on in sunny South Africa . I picked up a cool little article on Between 10 and 5 which gave a heads-up about the upcoming ToiToy Custom vinyl toy Exhibition , which will take place on the their website from the 6th August (Saturday). There are going to be some seriously amazing custom vinyl toy designs on show , all of which will be up for sale . The two designers whose work I am most interested in seeing is none other than Greg darroll (Springleap name: Tokyo_gogo ) and the very well known Abe Viljoen of The Given Collective website . Greg has proven his brilliance time and time again with his quirky characters . His evolution to the realm of vinyl toys really feels like the most natural path he could have taken. Abe is one of those designers who are so good they make you feel SICK!!! LOL :D If this is the level of design we can look forward to then the ToiToy custom vinyl toy exhibition is going to COOK! One person that doesn’t seem to be included is SA vinyl toy guru Kronk . I have heard he is involved with ToiToy in some capacity, so maybe he will still feature ...fingers crossed! Jump across to the original 10 and 5 posting to get the full list of designers that will be taking part. Right now I’m not exactly sure how much these custom vinyl toys are going to sell for, but I’d imagine they would be quite a bit more than the original version of the toys (depending on style and size). This is totally understandable though. These are going to be very special collectibles , which will hopefully fetch a nice price further down the line, hehe. I’m going to start counting my pennies for this one! D

My inspiration comes from the shaka (hawaiian) hand signal, which has been adopted in popular culture for - “I’ll call you” or “call me”. For the Telkom competition I wanted to use the hand sign as a symbol of “we belong to an exclusive yet inclusive club” It’s up to you. Also that land lines are still cool. |
