You asked for it!!!!

I'm happy to report my first shirt design I did along side Casey Jones of the Disney Design Group has been released in the parks!!!!!




I was asked to create a shirt celebrating the time honored park snack, the churro. I appropriated the original Casa de Fritos poster from Disneyland and placed the sugary snack in the hands of our wild west outlaw.

What do you think guys? Be sure to pick one up the next time your at the parks and shoot me a photo!
I also want to thank Casey for snapping this photo and tweeting it!

Mexico

Our journey comes to an end this week (or does it) with our final Designerland EPCOT World Showcase Apparel design....

Rising in a series of great steps above the World Showcase Promenade, a monumental pyramid beckons us to Mexico. (Its style reflects Mexico's ancient cultures.) Inside, we'll find an exhibit of pre-Columbian artworks as well as old emblems of contemporary Mexico.

Beyond, we enter the Plaza de Los Amigos in the midst of a moonlit Mexican village where street vendors with carts piled high with crafts add to the exciting atmosphere.

In the background, we can embark on a boat ride along "El Rio del Tiempo" - "The River of Time" - where we'll explore the heritage of Mexico's ancient, colonial, and contemporary eras. The tale is told by Audio-Animatronic singers and dancers, motion pictures and three-dimensional sets as our excursion boat glides along. We may even catch a glimpse of a nightly firework display.

 

Once again keeping consistent with the Retro '71 apparel brand, this week’s design incorporates Mexico's logo in a similar fashion as the previous shirts. The colors are inspired by the flag of Mexico. Finishing the design is some slight wear and tear with a textured finish.
 
I want to thank you for for accompanying me on this journey. Tune in next week as we begin looking at the wonderful typography of Main Street USA. Until next time, thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: Part 3

I knew I was jumping the gun when I decided to do the Designerland typography case study on the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom as I knew more fun fonts would appear...and that they did. Four more fonts have been discovered today, these all come from the new signage above the Firehouse on Main Street.


Mad props go out to the designer for manipulating the main display font. Well played good sir, or madame!

In the Wild

The Crossman Family sent a new photo of them sporting their tiki pineapple whip shirts, this time the family photo comes from the Walt Disney World Resort. They're the first family to sport their shirts at both parks and send in photos for us here at Designerland. I want to send out a BIG thank you once again for being such a great support to me, my blog and my crazy designs/ideas. Thanks guys!
