space invaders knit wear for kids and 8 bit landscape hoodies





So far I have not managed to find to many designers with 8 bit idea in mind. I found these two today and one of which is the Punk daddy Malcolm Mclaren. He has designed a range of kids where with retro gaming in mind. The thing about that is the kids wont have a clue what a space invader is and it's more likley to be the parents that will think it's cool and the nostalgia element will be directed at them. quite a good idea actually.

The other one is similar to that of the space invader as it is obvious that the design is taken from a vintage computer game. I like these hoodies and they are instantly recodnisable as such. They are definatley aimed at the computer game geek.

BIT WEAR LOGO


I've been working on my brand logo. I've came up with some stuff but I like this one the best.

Christian Zuzunaga





Christian Zuzunaga, a London based graphic designer who's concepts include the pixel "the icon of our time" I discovered him a few months ago and he's pretty much stole my idea's. He uses the pixel on interiors, such as sofa's hand woven rugs and cushions and has also produced a mens wear fashion range. The pixel looks great anywhere!

As part of my course I am required that I choose which area I want to go into to. choices are: interiors, fashion or mixed media. Christian Zuzunaga has shown that the pixel it's a very versatile square.
