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.
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.
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.
