The brief was to create a feeling of community activity and reference the environment of Kitano Kobe. Many workshop classes had to be fitted into the illustration and still look harmonious.

Snow Splash t-shirt logo incorporated into the design

Snow Splash t-shirt design front and back
I recently designed the new T-shirt for the Snow Splash music festival held annually in Hakuba and Minakami. Originally reggae, the festival has grown in size and evolved into a diverse event. Staff and band members wear the shirts at the event and they are also on sale. The t-shirt design required I combine the logo with the band names. Here is the result.

3 vivid and colorful designs for the front of a school advertising different courses on offer. The challenge in designing these is getting the balance of simplicity and impact right. Complicated designs don’t work so well. There are 2 fabric types, cotton and a synthetic which nobori are printed on. The cotton ones seems to hold color better where as the synthetic nobori colors tend to bleed and run. The use of strokes and a background fill will help stop the color from running I noticed.
