Halo UNSC issued branch T-shirts

Making the UNSC Branch Issued T-shirts Line

Halo, Halo, Halo: we got so many people asking us to do Halo designs. But where to start? For the longest time I had no inspiration as I myself am not as knowledgable about Halo as I would like to be to do a good design concerning Halo.

 

Talking to an Instagram Follower and Customer 

But all of that changed when talking to Patrick, one of our followers and customers on Instagram. He send us some ideas about doing branche specific designs which made me go: "what if we did branche issued T-Shirts? As in: what would a T-shirt look like if the UNSC issued a Marine Corps T-shirt?". Patrick loved the idea but since he was 1000 times more knowledgable about Halo then me, I asked him if he would want to consult to make sure I got all the iconagraphy right. He did more then that and even inspired elements of the design.

The look of the side graphic on each T-shirt for example is in large part thank to Patrick who pitched the idea of having a background colour so that the text and the UNSC logo could sit in it with the same colour as the rest of the T-shirt.

Input from the public: input from you

We as a company are always open to input from the public, but when I first started designing I hadn't and wouldn't have imagined working this closely with our audience. It was a great experience to say the least, especially hearing some one be as in to Halo in this case as I myself am with other properties. I already have another consulting session with another customer in the works and I am looking forward to making more designs with customer/fan input!
