Design Musings

Heritage Bespoke Joinery, based in Camelford, were looking for some hard wearing shirts for their employees recently, and so we laid out the shirts pictured above and sourced a reliable local firm to produce them. They chose to go for an embroidered design in black onto grey polo and T-shirts, and the result is very effective. The finished shirts carry their name on the chest, and a larger description on the back. They went for heavy duty garments, as working on construction sites will put the clothing through its paces. But, no matter how long they last, some warmer tops may be needed come Winter!

Lorraine from Wadebridge Bathroom Studio popped into our studio today and volunteered to model one of our girls' fit t-shirts, and as it was such a lovely day we took a few shots outside. The shot above was the only one where Lorraine managed to behave herself and not pull a face! The graphics on the shirt have caused a lot of interest. Emma, who created the illustrative piece, was aiming for an abstract graphic based on recent projects and other scraps of inspiration throughout our studio. It took us a little longer to find a guy that would model the male shirt, but finally we nabbed Jonny who looks over the moon to be on the internet!

The T-shirts hit our studio on Friday afternoon, and they look good! They have been eagerly anticipated by the team at Pickle Design and everyone who voted on the two designs. We have printed a very limited run of 10, so please make sure you contact us early if you would like one. They are now available to buy from our website, just UK orders currently. There are a range of sizes in both women's and men's styles. More shots will be on the Pickle Site, go to the shop to see how our graphic tees are looking.

Recently we gave readers of this blog the opportunity to vote on which of two t-shirt designs we created. We got the best response we have ever had from an online poll, and have settled on the more popular of the two designs. You can see the shirt above, and we will soon be putting photographs of the actual garment up here as well. There will be a few disappointed voters, especially as those who wanted the other design were much more explicit in why they liked it! Sorry to all of those who wanted shirt two, but we hope you will like this design as well. If we get a good response from this initial run of ten shirts, we may print some of the other shirts as well. Sound like a good compromise?!

Shirt One Shirt Two Here are the two designs we have settled on for our limited edition t-shirts, available shortly. Trouble is, we have settled on two designs, finally, but are only printing one of them up! So we need your help, feel free to leave some comments to let us know which of the two you would prefer to see printed up. We eagerly await your thoughts!
