Illustrator would be a good one to use over InDesign if you're not using a lot of text 🧐

Lul u got me there.

Anyway, I've been messing with my renders a bit more working on a different set, so I wanted to see these colors with some better lighting.



After feeling like the color wasn't "quite right" fighting with the alphas for a good while, I decided to try something a little different.



Let me know what you think everyone!

I think the original alphas make the set more distinct.

Been making some more tweaks on this, if you feel like participating in a more immediate discussion feel free to join my discord here



Tried using two different oranges as legend colors for 2 reasons, 1 to help contrast, 2 to help be a bit more representative of how varied the colors in thai tea are. The accent in the top pic is the alpha legend color, while the bottom pic is the mod legend color.

Hey guys, created a quick strawpoll to see how people are feeling about alphas.

One thing I'm seeing with various Thai fonts, is that I don't think some of the loops and such will not be as doubleshot friendly, and will thus have to use a more simplistic font. Or I could go with a more complex font and pad print them.

The idea I've got in my head (with no data yet), is cream alphas no subs in base, and an alternate orange alphas with pad printed subs (as I can use a more visually compelling font that way).

Let me know what you think!

I put a vote in for orange alphas (no subs) :)

Really hoping to this set sees a run, I love the colorway and have accepted that I'm a sucker for drink-themed sets.

Screw the IC, I want to buy it.

Haha, don't even make the IC, just throw us the group buy with whatever kits you're working on as is. On another note, I wish GMK Simpsons would just go for it.

Hey everyone, just a quick update here.

I've been working on fine-tuning this as I haven't been completely happy with how the renders are representing the chosen Pantones.

So I should be getting a RAL book tomorrow, and I'll be working on revising the colors to use RAL instead. Hopefully this will result in a more faithful representation from what I'm seeing in front of me to what's coming up on the screen.

Unfortunately, with the scale that I foresee this set having, I don't think thai sublegends are going to be a feasible option.

Sorry for the double post, but I need some feedback from you fine folks.

If you haven't noticed, I was looking at leaving out the mod-colored |\ and ~` keys, but looking at some of the renders I was getting some cold feet about that idea.

So please fill out this little strawpoll to let me know what you think!

Ok after looking at the old renders. I definitely like the dark legends more on the cream. For me I think the orange alphas are the star of the show with the cream and dark accents. However I still really like the set. If there is one minor wish is somehow the return of the cream and dark enter key to go with the orange alphas.

When we move to quoting, I can see some various possibilities about sneaking that cream accent in one of the kits.

Grats! So now that we might have an inch on the enter why not possibly the rest of the accents ( escape and arrows )?  :D

Nice, I was loving the cream accents on the original renders too.
