The Logo Development Process
All cosplayers have one common goal, and that is to embody to the persona of someone else as best as they can. They seek play the part and act as the character who's mask they have chosen to dawn. After a few hours of sketching, this was the realisation that I had, that what unites all cosplayers are their masks (both literal and metaphorical). The drawing was originally chosen to be in the same style as a masquerade mask, but later updated to more resemble the kind of mask or face paint you might see a character in the videogame Call of Duty wear. The type was also heavily stylized to reflect the typefaces you see used in first person shooter videogames .
Textile print design
A local cosplayer, who was a big fan of the video game series The Legend of Zelda, wanted to make a costume based off of the popular character Midna, from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. As sublimation printing can print rather dark and with slightly blurry, it was important that the design was made to be high contrast and visibly very sharp. The design was recreated from dozens of images of the character pulled right from the game.
