where I practically developed the whole set with the help of the Italian community.
PS: this is the GMK Box i designed. I hope GMK can print the inside of it.
Hello Geekhack Community!
I am Raz, a web designer from Italy and I would like to present you my first keycap set project!
Quarantine here in Italy gave me the opportunity to develop some ideas that I had been dragging for some time.
I partnered up with my friend and designer
Johnnymalandra and came up with the idea of
GMK Avanguardia:
I chose an italian word that, as you can guess corresponds to "Avant-guard" or "Vanguard",
referring to all those extreme, daring and innovative artists with a futuristic sight capable of anticipating their times.
I have seen that sets featuring themes related to modern pop culture have always been appreciated, so I thought, why not pay respect to a great artist who influenced it the most in shapes and colors.
More than content, this set draws its inspiration from Kandinsky's words:
"Art goes beyond the limits in which time would like to compress it, and indicates the content in the future"The Color Palette![](https://i.imgur.com/r1Pl3t8.jpg)
We especially referred to Vasilij Vasil’evič Kandinskij and
this painting to get the inspiration for the novelties:

We wanted to give our concept a more personal interpretation by using a palette oriented towards the tech world and so the result is down here!
I would like to thank all my friends from the
ClickyClackClub Italian community for the support they showed me and Johnnymalandra for the awesome artworks!

COLORSI read a lot of concerns about color contrast and Violet Tendencies similarities.
I've uploaded an imgur album with some renders of Violet Tendencies mods and my alphas/mods in different light conditions:

I made this render cause people is concerned about GMK Avanguardia sharing the same GMK Nightshade's palette. In this image you can check GMK colors CR, N9 and NY:
