Well what do ya know, it's Reaction very first blog! With the help of Trinitee Trilam's coding, and my designing, it's become quite a nifty blog imo, and I hope you all think the same! Now i'm not going to just use this to post a crappy 2 sentence message each time I post, with a "Shirt Released. Go Look." message, i'll be giving all you customers and surf lovers a taste of what's coming, a proper description of new release, news within the store, and maybe exciting news to give about another designer or store too! Yes, on other designers, like a personal little review.
For those of you who don't already know, here's just a small little history lesson about Reaction - I started designing clothes about 7 - 8 months ago, back in April 06, with the support and help from Kaysha Sion. After she had seen some artworks I had done in my art gallery, she insisted I put my skills to use in SL, showing me the marketing side of things, and the basic things to attract and sell my stuff to people. Also showing me the unfortunate, but limited amount of clothing to men in the Second Life World. So after pushing me and nudging me I took a step forward to create, but sticking with her personal rule of creating everything, without sourcing! References and inspiration are still sometimes used though, and this seperates me from most designers who go out, find a shirt, and basically just copy and paste it onto a template. (And yes, even my jeans are 100% drawn. All they are, are overlaid/mixed noised textures, with a little nifty trick I worked out to make pockets, using the pen tool, smudge tool, and brush tool. Not telling you the method though.) Back to the story, Kaysha Sion let me put my first designs in her store, and when I reached about 10 different designs, I decided to open my own store. It was a small stone type temple located in Sanddalgi, which about 3 - 4 months ago turned into a big surf looking store in Yeanim! To help pay back Kay for he help, I set her up a spot inside my store for her store "WRONG", along side with "roxee" owned by Trinitee Trilam, which is the person who I spent most my SL time with and who actually got me into SL. Well there you have it, a brief history of Reaction and it's designer, me, Radical Twang.Labels: history, reaction, welcome
