Uniform Design

[Mello123]

As director of the fantasy corps Blue Wave, I would greatly appreciate it if someone would work with me to design a uniform for these fantastic kids.

Ahh, uniforms. One of my favorite parts of doing fantasy drum corps: An excuse to make uniforms for my corps. You have several options.

1.) DIY

This is more fun IMO. It lets you be creative in only the way you can. Phoenixfire made an awesome template that I've used in the past, and I modified the template to make a shako-less template, in case you want the corps to wear an aussie or helmet or something.

You can find both of these here: http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...amp;hl=Template

And here are my uniforms that I've done: http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww8/Bow...signs/Uniforms/

These uniforms can be done with any of the image editing programs. Paint, paint.net, photoshop, etc. Personally, I use The GIMP. It's more or less a free and more complicated version of photoshop, but with some practice you can get what you want out of it.

GIMP is here: http://www.gimp.org/

Paint.net is here: http://paint.net/

2.) Getting someone to do them for you.

There are avenues for you here and elsewhere to request a uniform design.

I'd be happy to do a uniform for you. I'm not as good as some of the other guys, but I'd like to think that I'm not bad.

8two5 productions seems to be the guys to get uniforms from though. I've had a uniform done from them. They really know what they're doing and they really know how to get it out and looking pretty.

Here's their site: http://8two5.com/

And here's how you request a uniform by them: http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...c=112334&hl

And I'm sure there are others that would be delighted to help you.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

I will be glad to do a design for you! Just tell me what you need and you shall receive! I would suggest 8two5 also but they are no longer accepting orders till after the season. Here are some of my designs

and if you want guard stuff then here is an example for that(guard designs are my "forte")

I hope you don't mind me making a request, if you have time, but of course give priorities to Mello123.

1) The Glorious Guardsmen

2) Green unis with a white sash with red and gold trimming, white pants, Phantom Regiment like helmets with a white plume, white gauntlets.

3) kind of like a mix of SCV and Cavies uniforms.

It doesn't have to be exact, that's just what I imagined. This is just if you have time and want to design a uniform, the corps is perfectly fine marching in T-Shirts and short-shorts.

Thanks.

8two5.com does incredible work. He designed all three Glory of Music uniforms. Unfortunately, he is not accepting any more new requests this season.
