Hey! These icons are indeed bought through thenounproject. Buying icons through there leaves you with no need of giving the designers credit.

This set I'm running specifically to pleasure my taste. I've always been interested in photography. I grew up using a polaroid camera, having all these polaroid films laying around brings back tons of memories. That's why I've decided to dedicate this set to that theme.

Gonna be real for a moment, I had to google what this even meant and why things were the way they were to be able to give some actual feedback and not harp on things others have brought up. Not too great of a look, to be fair.

That being said, if the set is about photography or cameras, why does it have to be Japanese? Surely, and I'm just spitballing here, the set could've just been called 'Aperture' without sublegends, and maybe some more thought into presenting it as a more fully fleshed out interest check. For some bit of more constructive criticism, or rather for something neat because photography is a passion, hobby, and past means of making ends meet for me, why not also have a novelty function row with the legends "f/1, f/2" and so on? Think that might be a winner if possible and would tie the set together more than just sublegends and pulled logos for novelties.

Best of luck with this one.

Thanks for that link! I decided to look through Noun Project FAQ and found some pretty interesting paragraphs;

The first is from here
Quote
To use an icon in items for resale (such as Tshirts, phone cases, stickers, mugs), you must purchase a license for each icon using the individual purchase feature and Pay $2.99. Pre-paid credit, NounPro or NounTeam accounts may not be used to download icons for items for resale. One icon license purchased may be used for up to 100 units of product.

For example, if you're selling 500 Tshirts with the same icon design, you will need to purchase 5 icon licenses (500 Tshirts / 100 units per license).

If you're unsure if your items are considered Resale or Commercial use, please read here.

And the second is from here (emphasis mine in the below quote)
Quote
The biggest differentiating factor is that in Items for Resale, the icon creates the substantial value of the product.

For example: if you print a book on iconography and use icons throughout the book, the icons make up the value of the book and therefore it is considered an item for Resale. However, if you use icons to designate the sub-section in the book, or to illustrate an infographic, that is considered Commercial Use. In both cases, the book can be available for sale, the biggest determining factor is what is contributing most to its value.

Now, I am not a lawyer, but I'd argue that the Noun Project icons do create the substantial value of the novelty kit. With 5 icons per kit and two instances of each, some quick mafs ($3 * 5 * 2)/100 tells us that OP should be paying $0.30 per nov kit sold. As long as he does this (which I'm not implying is not already his plan), he is free to use them sans attribution.

Otherwise, cool to see MoDo Dark running

It looks good. Want more novelties like the aforementioned ISO ISO enter, and the f/# stops for the function row maybe as was suggested too. I like the japanese sublegends because Canon and Sony, but you mentioning polaroids would make me think to add in some kind of polaroid touch to it if possible. Love the deskmat design too.

Otherwise, cool to see MoDo Dark running

Hey! Thanks for bringing this up, I am fully aware of this and this will be paid for. I've multiple times gotten commission work done for previous projects, and the designer has always been paid by either me or the vendor.

As of now, I've only bought 1x of each icon used from The Noun Project, regarding the sale hasn't started. If I decide to move on with these novelties, and we get sales, profit margins will go towards paying for the icons used!

That being said, I will add credit to the designers of the icons in the IC, so no more people get confused.

are you literally joking? how is this not as fleshed out as possible for a interest check? he even has vendors in it already. :confused:

the set could've just been called 'Aperture'

Aperture as a name doesn't work because it would cause people to confuse it with a Portal game themed keycap set.

A japanese name suits the set given that it has sublegends.
And the theme fits. Most of the cameras during the analog photography age came from japan anyways.

why not also have a novelty function row with the legends "f/1, f/2" and so on?

You do know how doubleshot keycaps work?
Something like this would require an entire set of new molds for the F-row and that would make the set a significant bit more expensive.

woah where's this hustle by you guys for those non licensed anime/video game sets?
i don't often see those keycap designers thanking the animators or publishers for those.....

I thought pure WoB or BoW was beautiful, no third color required. I was wrong.

I really love the Hiragana sublegends on these dark grey Alphas.
Nice change from black.
Personally I like to see Alice support in base kit.

Hoping to see a Rama  :thumb:

Or make the set be ISO-DE as a tribute to the king of glass, Zeiss. Makes just about the same amount of sense to me.

1. No, and I'm going to be thorough with my response as I feel it did not have the right tone before, nor did it fully convey my thoughts. Fully fleshed out in this day and age to me means more than posting a few renders of kits and listing vendors. Describe to me the idea. I don't want to have to go and Google the name of the kit in order to have some vague understanding of what the idea is. I'm not the designer of the set. While I can piece together it is photography themed based on the novelties, in what aspect does it tie in? Is it a general photography themed set? Does it have to do with a specific Japanese photographer? Was the designer inspired by more monochromatic photography? Tell me the thought process, the story, the reasoning behind why this kit should exist like the 40 other sets that get posted on a daily basis (slight exaggeration, but the point remains). Simply showing me renders with a list of vendors does some weird psychology thing to me. I want to learn, I want to experience the same thought process, I want to feel like the designer of the set cares enough to express that thought process.
Edit: There is a picture at the bottom now that has a small blurb about the set. Either it wasn't there earlier or for some reason, that image did not load for me, so this point is now moot in my eyes.

2. Aperture as a name for a photography themed set does work if the above is done. Expand upon the idea, explain the name, the process, and people won't think of Portal when they see GMK Aperture. Not only that though, but it was literally the first thought I had. Could've easily called it GMK Focal Length, GMK Full Frame, GMK Prime, GMK 35mm, and so on. But, instead, it's GMK Shashin which does work with the sublegends, but only after a search of Google was that apparent to me, a self described idiot.

3. No, I don't know much about the manufacturing side of things, but I do know that new molds do get made. While sure, it will make the kit more expensive, it was simply an idea to throw out. Then again, must have missed over the part right after that says: "Think that might be a winner if possible" meaning, to me, "I have doubts it could be done, but it would be pretty rad if it could."

Hey! Appreciate the reply! Regarding your 1. point, scroll all the way down on the IC! There’s a little description regarding the them and name, thanks!
