just feel like writing something

it feels like the project is not going anywhere at the moment but gd at least there's a problem for us to look into.

this problem is natural in my opinion bcos we do not meet each other often and everyone is busy with their own stuff.

2ndly not every1 shares the project's vision and we need to have a core grp of ppl that blif in this to continue.

anyway i jus want to say this thing is still alive and if u happen to chance upon this post i want to say i haven give up on the project.

ideas come and go and so long every1 has the vision in mind i think the project is still alive.

Prepare for change

I think setting up a group is better than setting up a blog for the t-shirt design,cos it is easier to discuss and get to know each other thru a grp than a blog.blog is like more personal.anyway the change is going to come very soon so jus be prepared for it.

Results from market research

Arden and yx went ard bugis st,bugis st icon and far east few days ago to do some market research....

Findings:
1.I'm sure u guys r familiar with couple tees,but do u know in taiwan there's a wave for gang/grp tees,yes,meaning the tees r all sold in bulk.

2.We always buy shirts bcos we like it at 1st sight,then mos of the time it ended up in the wardrobe collecting cobweb.is there a way to keep modifying the clothes tat we have grown tired with?

3.customisation.there's a shop in bugis st icon that helps customise flip-flops,and it's not cheap.but on the other hand,the cost price of flip-flop is dirt cheap,i can testify to that bcos i saw a pair that cost $3 in cheers

4.this is 1 cool idea!have u ever tot of designin ur own sch uniform.make it come alive.do u know in japan uniform is fashionable as well

5.wld u like to wear a shirt with ur face on it?like those rock star faces?or a photosho enhanced
face tat makes u 10x prettier or better lookin?

6.there is a sore lack of shoe design in spore,we do heard that there's 1 in far east but we cannot find it


In conclusion,shoe design n flip flop seems to be the way to go since u dun find it very common here in spore yet.thus we feel that there is great room for creativity.of cos if u delve further,we can also slowly work on accessories like caps,belt blah blah blah

Updates for the t-shirt design project

These are the directions the project team are heading into at the moment...

1.Enough end pdts,be it shoes and t-shirts and accessories for sale in the flea market on the 9th,10th,23rd of dec.

2.Enough end pdts to distribute to our relatives and friends so that we can gather their feedback and response

3.come up with our own branding with the spore intellectual board,something like flesh imp,it costs $400 for 10 years if i'm not wrong

Some bigger goals,

4.we will set up a permanent shop in bugis or anywhere else so that we can sell our branded pdts
