Going to Japan in 2 weeks
So I’ll be going to Japan in about two weeks. I’ve been doing a lot of planning with my girlfriend and brother as to which parts of Japan to visit during the two week stay. Since I’ve had Japan on the brain I decided to see what sort of Japanese themed products Zazzle had to offer. I was gonna post shirts and other products but I kept finding cool womens & kids Keds shoes that had cool Japanese themed designs so I decided to post those instead! I’ll have to do another post just for Japanese themed shirts and products later…

Trace Artwork for your Products
THIS BLOG POST WAS ORIGINALLY POSTEDBY
Blake from YouDesignIt.com
Here’s the final design we are going to create:
The image that we are going to trace comes from a standard bike route sign that you see on many streets today. We first open up that image in Adobe Illustrator.
The first tool we will be using is the preset circle tool. We are going to create the two wheels on the bike by sizing up the circle tool and giving it a 9 pt stroke. The color we are going to use to make it easy to see what we are doing is pink.
For this next step, we are still going to use the circle tool, but we are going to create two circles with the fill color of pink instead of an outline.
Next we are going to use the pen tool to trace all of the straight-line pieces of the frame of the bicycle.
Now we are going to increase the stroke on the line we just created with the pen tool to match the bike.
The last part of the process for the tracing is to take the square tool and create the two pedals and use the pen tool to trace the seat.
Since we used a lot of strokes in this illustration, it is always good practice to expand the strokes so everything is a fill color.
Another suggested step that isn’t required, but helps polish off the design, is to merge all of the pieces.
The last thing we’re going to do is delete the bike sign that we used for tracing and change the color of the bike. We added a little text just to get our point across and provide a little smile. Here’s another look at the final tee shirt design:

CUSTOM SNEAKERS!! BY KEDS @ ZAZZLE.COM!!
OK Ok, so maybe Custom Sneakers is a bit miss-leading by todays standards. Zazzle recently launched a line of customizable Keds shoes but did you know that back in the day, ‘KEDS’ used to BE sneakers!?! Thats right, the first EVER sneaker was KEDS!!!
“Keds® were first mass-marketed as canvas-top “sneakers” in 1917. These were the first sneakers. The word “sneaker” was coined by Henry Nelson McKinney, an advertising agent for N. W. Ayer & Son, because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy or quiet, all other shoes, with the exception of moccasins, made noise when you walked. In 1979, the Stride Rite Corporation acquired the Keds® brand.”
