Kimono Challenge

[Christy Smith]

Hey guys, just thought I would volunteer my photoshop skills for this project and set up this thread for working on this project. I think it would be best for us to plan it out here first before we all start adding stuff. What is everyone thinking about doing for this?

[Eliza Orlins]

sure that sounds great! i suck at actually making graphic stuff so it's nice to have someone like you

i'm gathering symbols with like immunity challenge type meanings... like win, victory, unity, teamwork, etc... i'll upload them and post a link here

[Jaime Dugan]

Hmm I think the two symbols should go on the sleeves, and then 4 of our names down the right side of the body and 4 on the left. Tribe name either on the botton or across the chest and the animal either on the bottom or across the chest

[Charlie Herschel]

I like Jaime's idea!
What animal would we use?

[Eliza Orlins]

i agree, jaime...

for animals... do the japanese hold like special meanings or naything like that to certain animals? we could look for something based on that??? like an animal that symbolizes strength or something? lol




okay i have some symbols here that we could use if we want to... i put the meanings underneath.









let me know if they are too big. one thing i actually CAN do on paint is re-size stuff, but i assume doing it on photoshop is still easier

[Jaime Dugan]

I think fire's a good one (Fire symbolizes life etc.) and for another one I'd say probably Unity

I like the team one!

[Eliza Orlins]

i like that idea jaime... just make sure when we post the meanings of the symbols we include that fire symbolizes life, it's like a double-meaning LOL!!!



and ummmm since our tribe color is red, should we use the red kimono? www.orchidclothing.co.uk/bmz_cache/1/16322e04a4944a0a2d5ef292367926c2.image.620x750.jpg

which kimono are we going to use? i was kinda thinking we should use one in the color the same as our tribe's cause then the tribe color is definitely there and once we've chosen the kimono we have, literally, a base layer done.

maybe?

[Jaime Dugan]

Yeah, definitely the red one

Those are the symbols (kanji) for Kansai. Perhaps we can include those?

I really suck at graphic design myself, but I like the red kimono. I would look hot in it, should I model?


As for the animal, we're going to want to make sure it fits with what symbols and color we use. Perhaps we should base our design on that?
