Flyer Design: GAOWN Dance Hall Reggae Party



I designed new party flyer. Title logo using "KANJI" the Japanese character from Chinese character. Crocodile illustration print the fluorescence orange like a silk screen print. It is because it printed on natural paper that a background is a natural color. The wave illustration in the mouth of an alligator is the handwriting by pen using Adobe Illustrator. the bubble dot also handwritten. This was quoted from the flyer currently used by the dance hall reggae of the 1990s.



Also I made English version, but client liked the Chinese character. The English version which seems to be lovely is introduced here. Though it was regrettable, the poster of A3 size which I proposed was dismissed on t problem of a client's budget.  This flyer only for postcard.

DOPE EYE "DEAD BIKE"

The body of especially vicious lusterless black. The cheap cross bike bought on-line. It was dressed up with the sticker of DOPEEYE. The frame of this bike is iron. The handle grip was changed into the lime green of the scull design. In Japan, the frame of the iron is called chromium molybdenum. But, chromium molybdenum unites iron and carbon and is raising hardness. If a bicycle is hard, it will not absorb a shock. If it becomes an accident, a frame will break.

Photo: Deep Blue and Bright Orange



Last day, we went swim and day camp in Yamaguchi beach. The evening glow of the day was able to be burned on deep blue and the shining orange....
It was most beautiful sunset in this summer I think.

"RYPPLE" The New Brand

We started the new garments brand inspired from Grateful Dead. The name is "RYPPLE" from our favorite song "ripple". 1972 and 1973 is our birth year. We also like from 1972 to 1973 live performance and poster art of the Grateful Dead. Already I make some logo and sticker design. I introduce one of them.
