Design notes from the Three-Brains designer on New Zealand Invention – Men’s Long Sleeve T-shirt

• Did you know chess originated in India around the 6th Century BC? And that the game was originally called Chaturanga? Check. Mate.
• We sourced and checked the Indian flag colours of Saffron (#FF9933) and Green (#138808) to highlight the Indian credentials of this claim.
• There is a slight warp effect added into the text using Adobe Illustrator’s Envelope Distort / Mesh tool so that the text wraps a little around the image of the two chess pieces.
• We chose the king and queen as these are the most important pieces on the chess board. We also thought it would create appeal having both a ‘female’ and ‘male’ chess piece.
• Our other reason for choosing the king and queen was that their outline shape is so distinctive. Anyone into chess would recognise those outlines straight away.
• The font used on this design is called Impact. It is a Sans Serif font. We adjusted the leading to make sure the two words started with the same width.
• There are light curve strokes down the centre of each chess piece to create a 3D effect using the pen, direct select and curvature tools.
