Title: [IC] Mochi Keycaps
Post by: Emiko Mochi on Sat, 17 July 2021, 19:51:16
Intro:

Hello, there! A bit new here but I was recommended to come here after sitting on reddit for longer than I should have. I've been making my own personal keycaps for a little bit and I wanted to finally have my own keycap for the pubs so hopefully some of you will enjoy it as much as my Insta following for this set. I own a small store on Etsy where I guess it all started my obsession with keycaps. And now I'm plunging into making cute keycap sets. I have a few that I've been planning but I wanted to do my own rendition of mochi caps and here's what I came up with (so far). Mochi Keycaps was the first store that I have devoted my life to and I would love to share my ideas with more than just my family and friends ^^. The logo of mochi keycaps was something that took me a while to make and even now it may change but change is always good too! So here is where I hope that people can see the work I do and understand a little bit about me. But always know there's always something new from me and like many, I am learning as I go ^^;.

Inspiration:

For the love of Mochi treats. Usually enjoyed on new years but I get to enjoy them year-round as many new yorkers do. The colors for the caps are supposed to represent all the different flavors and adding one more into the mix. Pink and whites for red bean, Green for green tea, and blues for taro, though I thought purples would be cute too I honestly wanted to keep the same scheme of my stores logo to add a little of me to it I guess.

Hey there! Your renders in your IC Form and inVision link don't match your render that you posted here. This doesn't really give a clear sense of what your keycaps or kitting will look like.

now that the IC is broken, I'm going to have to hard pass on this. With a color layout that I can't make sense of, no pantone/ral selected, disappointing kitting and novelties that leave a lot to be desired, I feel like OP thought that an IC was more for getting feedback on an early concept than posting a completed concept. That said, I hope this IC improves into something more desirable.

I think the concept is nice and colorful, but before anything you should do a little bit more research on preparing an IC. Your goal here is to present an almost finished product so readers can visualize the final product better and making them want the set. That being said, I highly suggest you take a good look at already finalized groupbuys IC posts and learn from those, aswell as joining the discord where you can learn alot. Good luck!

As some others have mentioned already, I think the idea of this set is super cute but it can use some refinement :) Definitely check out the Keycap Designers discord if you haven't already, as they have a lot of good resources/tips for rendering, kitting, colour matching etc Good luck with everything!
