Project Description

This catalog is one of dozens of catalogs warehouse buyers get every year. They are loaded with the exact same layouts and same , crappy viewing experiences, and the same models standing around pretending to be happy in dull clothes.

Virtual Shirting technology makes it more interesting to turn the people standing next to you into models and give you a chance to experience the clothes before you try them on. It's silly and funny to do that, and so far people have really responded well to it (from what we hear).

Production Lesson(s)

Digital printing isn't the awful compromise it used to be. The coverage is really nice, the colors very pure, even the very soft ones. But gluing pages is a fricking mess. ALWAYS send your print producer. We didn't have money for it this time and the inside front cover got a sloppy treatment. Hurts. ”
