 The final product!
I made it quite subtle that if you didn't take a closer look, you will thought that it is some average design at the front of the tee but if you take a closer look, you will see that it is actually a picture of Hebe cropped inside her own english name.
This picture is actually a fashion shot of Hebe taken from a fashion magazine. I chose it simply because it looks 'fashion' plus the color is just perfect for a noir-sepia tone to be incorporated with either a black or white tee. The font was carefully chosen so that her eyes and mouth are not cropped out.
 Pre-production preview visuals
Initially I have a hard time deciding to print on a black tee or a white tee. Although the design will stand out more on a black tee but in the end I go ahead with the white tee, simply because the overall visual felt more 'fashion'(again) on a white tee.
* I have friends and Hebe fans who wanted the tee... but I don't think I will be printing it for sale. ;p
I showed Hebe the tee at the autograph session, she was pretty surprised and used a sweet innocent voice(I can sense much gratitude in it) to say 'thank you' to me. So naturally, I was surprised by her reaction too... or should I say 'mesmerized' at the same time. Hehe... I was being mesmerized so much that I mistakenly shake her left hand with my right hand... lolx (Her left hand was facing down, not sideway... and my right hand was facing up, so it looked like her left hand was placed on top of my right hand) XD... Besides that, I have also forgotten to ask her if she can sign on my tee! Really regret that I didn't ask... I am pretty sure that this will be the 1st ever tee she ever signed on if she did... and I would have had the tee framed up, for being the one and only tee design available in this world with her signature on it.
So... not a bad birthday I had afterall. But sigh... how come I have a feeling that I am becoming more and more like a fan... zzzLabels: Graphic Art, Hebe |
