ABOUT
Hello geekhack! I proudly present you with my first set, GMK Psychosis.
This set is inspired by psychosis which is a condition of mental illness. Psychosis is a condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real. Therefore, I choose GMK CC and GMK CP for the theme colour instead of the absolute contrasting colours (which are black and white).
The meaning behind this set is to raise the awareness of psychosis. We should know more about what psychosis is and be more considerable. It would be great if people showed love and respect to people with mental illness and everyone we know. People raise awareness of mental illness through music, drawings and many other art-related products so why not keycaps? Our community has grown so much and I think it's a good opportunity for spreading the meaning behind it. Plus, I will donate some of the profit to the mental health charity. The details of the donation will be updated asap.
CHOICE OF COLOUR
Since some of you from the community told me that GMK Psychosis is quite similar to GMK Sixes mixed with GMK Nines, GMK Ashes, GMK Carbon, and Boneyard. I had communicated with t0mb3ry, Xynerorias, Tyson and Emir and made sure no hard feelings or conflict of interest! I hope there is no controversy for this set in the future^^

You have explained why gmk CC and GMK CP are choosed, I think they are very appropriate. I am not very good at design.In my humble opinion,the design of the novelty keycaps has some homogeneity .if it's possible,try to add a few R2 novelty keycaps, eg:the backspace can be designed as "Psychosis" in special typeface.maybe handwritten font?another novelty keycaps can be designed according to some pills such as Chlorpromazine，Haloperidol etc.Even elements of Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing or Sigismund Freud could be considered.Delusional elements could be added more？
Could separate the numpad into another kit?
hope u will understand my idea...my english is so poor...
anyway,it's nice work. Just take my money!

I think you can drop offcenter space from spacebar kit too, not enough use cases for it to be included imo. Please consider alpha colored spacebar in base instead of mod colored and consider b in base as well.
Novelties are nice, glwic :thumb:
edit: increase the sizes of your labels, pretty much impossible to see. Also, your R2 in the base kit render isnt labeled.

As a person who is studying psychology and is very concerned about human physical and mental health, this topic really attracts me so much...Thank you for your opinion! I will think what I should modify:)

mod spacebar makes me psychoticThank you for your opinion! Could you please tell me more about why it makes u psychotic?
Post by: fifty4hun on Wed, 05 May 2021, 07:43:13
The color scheme seems decidedly unpsychotic to me. Quite the contrary. It's sensible, restrained, deliberate, and a bit boring. If anything, almost too sane for its own good. Just my two cents.Thank you for your opinion!
Post by: fifty4hun on Wed, 05 May 2021, 07:43:58
Your cap renders look like they are in OEM not cherry, and they look very boxy. Maybe thats just me.Thanks for the advice! I will try making some changes on it!! :)

As someone who has been suffered from depressive order for years and takes medicine everyday which makes me feel like experiencing amnesia
I did not feel offended at all but I am not a psychosis so I will not comment on the novelties :P

The meaning behind this set is to raise the awareness of psychosis. We should know more about what psychosis is and be more considerable. It would be great if people showing love and respect to not only people with mental illness but everyone we know.
IMO - if your product is latching onto a social issue that you're looking to raise awareness of, you should be ensuring that some (if not all) of the financial gain from that product is actually benefiting that cause. Do you have any intention of donating funds from this group buy in support of raising mental health awareness?

Nice to see you reached out to the other designers regarding any potential clashes. It'd be worth speaking to Tyson behind GMK Ashes as this is closer to that set than anything else.

I echo the comments on the Santa Cruz screaming hand novelty, I have included the novelty and the logo atop each other for ease of comparison. I also want to ask what happened to the 1.5u version of the novelty shown below compared to the 1.25u version of the same novelty.

Hmmmmm...InterestingNice to see you reached out to the other designers regarding any potential clashes. It'd be worth speaking to Tyson behind GMK Ashes as this is closer to that set than anything else.
Nice to see the Santa Cruz Skateboards logo pop up in the novelties too...not sure if you'd get away with that one.Show Image(https://seeklogo.com/images/S/santa-cruz-skateboards-logo-207E263812-seeklogo.com.png)
The logo you mentioned above is...the most creative and original design I have ever seen on the internetShow Image(https://imgur.com/9LwgRcI.jpg)Show Image(https://imgur.com/ordAJwq.jpg)
Best way to prove that something isn't a rip off is to show other commercial uses that it also could be ripping off? Interesting.
Basically what you are saying is that if I draw a triangle, you draw another one, and your triangle must be ripping mine off

The Santa Cruz logo pre-dates what you posted, but yes similar art has been used across many genre's.

When they put mod spacebars in the base kit, and no option for alpha colored (6.25 & 7) spacebars in the spacebars kit, but hey, you get another mod-colored 6.25 and 7u spacebars in the spacebars kit.Thank you for your opinion!

The design is based on Van Gough Screaming man which is representing fear and anxious emotion.
The reason why it changed to a hand is we would like to make it disorganized and psychotic. It supposed to include teeth but it's hard to meet the GMK standard so we removed it instead. Moreover, the arm isn't detached because the emotion is connected to our whole body and the action will be reflected based on it. The tongue is longer and more like a demon's tongue, it shows the fear and panic inside a person. You can see the fingers pointed outwards rather than curled like, it is like reaching for help or something more like it's in pain or morphing.

I can't see where The Scream by Van Gogh comes into this at all? they look wildly different. This is a stretch imo.

- your kit renders are not in cherry profile. You should know this if you did your own renders. If you hired someone, probably shouldn't have if they didn't even know to flip a switch in krk.
- You have no board renders at all
- Your color matching looks off, especially for cp white.
- some have already pointed out that your novelties look very similar to some other art
- the colors don't fit the theme the best (imo) but I don't study that or anything so just an outsider's opinion

There have been vendors withdrawing and GBs tanking because of copyright / IP infringement. I would suggest you go back to your artist / designer and get him/her to adapt that one picture. Even if there was no intention to infringe, it could still stop this set from seeing the light of day.
Especially if it is just one artwork or a small portion of the novelties that are problematic - in my opinion it would be sad if that small thing brings all your work on this to nought.

But I must say there is probably a difference between psychedelic (bright colours flowing into each other) and psychotic (real and imaginary blending into each other).

Though I have heard that intense drug trippiness can induce psychosis.
The justification for the colours used seems to make sense to me.

I am not offended by it or think it's like super problematic I guess. I don't think you shouldn't run this or you have to do anything a certain way. It is after all your set and your interpretation. But I look back to other sets that tried to tackle important subjects and some of the concerns that people had with, for example, the LGBTQ set, are coming to my own mind here as well. The idea of raising awareness for mental illness by selling a product with a mental illness as an aesthetic just... I don't quite know how to word it but it doesn't come off as super virtuous lol. And in the case of those other sets, they at least had some of the proceeds going to organizations to further promote awareness and make a financial impact on the people effected. Which didn't necessarily make me suddenly like them but it was a very good step for them to take in my opinion. But yeah I don't know that I can really get behind selling Psychosis. While I personally don't suffer from the condition of Psychosis, I look at some people that I have known personally or have met briefly with these kinds of conditions and I'm just not making a connection between their stories and this interpretation.
Post by: fifty4hun on Fri, 07 May 2021, 22:27:42
I definitely appreciate the subject matter and being willing to attempt to express a topic that is more serious in nature since that doesn't happen very often in the keycap design sphere. I can't help but think this is a little inauthentic though. Just seems really surface level for a subject that carries a lot of depth to it. And while that would normally not be a terrible thing for, say, a more palette friendly theme, I think it's a disservice for mental illness. I think I would have preferred to see a design based off of a certain experience or someones specific experience rather than a popular culture representation that attempts to lump the whole thing into, what comes off as, a generic package.

Thank you for your opinion. Being a severe mental illness patient, I am just trying to express my feeling and condition through it. Everyone has a different story, I am just telling mine and others'. The style that is presented in the novelties is just an expression which I personally think is quite suitable for it. I am not just selling this product by "spreading the meaning behind" but also donating some of the profit to the charity to help someone who is suffering from mental illness as well.
Art is not just something aesthetic or something fun. People have expressed their emotions and thoughts through drawings, music, or even dramas. Many pop, rock and classical music are written about mental illness. Many drawings are describing mental illness. Some dramas and movies are talking about mental illness. Indeed, they are commercial and selling as products. However, they successfully raise awareness. So why not raising awareness in a different way?
But thanks again for your honest advice and I hope you could get what I am trying to do.

The meaning behind this set is to raise the awareness of psychosis.
Not sure how you're going to achieve this... also this whole theme is a little confusing. Is this set meant for people with psychosis? For people who want to feel psychotic? How does this set raise awareness exactly?
Anyway colour wise I guess you can't really go wrong with neutral tones, but somehow it seems a little lacking. The best part of this IC was the banner, I was expecting something like GMK Redacted for some reason.
Critique aside, if I look at the theme of the novelties and where you're going with the colours, you could have gone for a zombie theme and it would be a lot less off putting than trying to make it sound like a mental health awareness campaign.

The novelties aim to show the inner side of people with psychosis, it's basically revealing what's on their mind cuz not many people understand their feelings.
The colour is not randomly chosen. people might think it should be black and white but off-white and grey colourway would be the perfect match for this theme.
And lastly, I don't want my novelties to become something full of hearts and love cuz I wanna tell the truth of psychosis instead. The sketches of psychosis do not pop up in my mind, the idea originally comes from the symptoms of psychosis and it's not just a name for it.
Anyways, thank you for your advice and I will try to make it clear.

Kono is just too expensive compared to other vendors

Kate, the person who spearheaded keeb related stuff development left Rama, so yeah, no more collabs in the foreseeable future, unless they get another designer, which I doubt.
