Stuff my design is inspired by: The Designers Republic
70s reel to reel tape boxes
old Sony packaging
00s japanese fashion mags eBoy and Nitrome
60s-80s computer design and ads
street & hazard signs & labels
─┐ Stuff that happens to have similar vibes to my site: a Dymo labeller ad Tarantino film openings
Shin Godzilla Resurgence posters The Orange Box site
Killer 7
Persona games
Ocean's Eleven posters
Early renditions while making the art for the men-tan desktop buddy
paint.net mockup of a fashion page redesign so I remember what I'm doing when arranging it
The original logo I almost used, and the typewriter text scanned in that was digitally edited into the red light logo
Fun Fact: i have never used a vector! Twelve Men is entirely comprised of raster artwork
Home page concept based on the redesign Dariabot made. Thinking abt ways to make the barcode animated too
Some doodles for the random chance homepage logos, top one is actually used
Some funky simplistic men based off the secondary logo. Never had something to use em for though. A lot of this stuff is just doodles in notebooks during school
Asset mock-up that's actually pretty close to the final one
Character sheet for men-tan along with art that was later digitized
Fun Fact: i've never had a grand plan for the site kinda just add whatever (maybe this parallels real life?)
Concept for an infinite-scroll homepage as it'd be cool to have the main focus be a blog, never could think of a way to impliment it that's better than what we got rn tho
Concept for a scrolling 45° update log, which I made code for but never used, along with a simple concept for the compatability chart on the extras page
Comic art ideas but neither me nor my friend could think of any good plots
From when I was moving everything over to the RED II update
Card designs used briefly on the possessions page
Old logo idea from when I was brainstorming a Twelve Men 3
Some basic character designs from when I was thinking about making a more in-depth VN
Concepts for a face logo, I tried and failed to incorperate the number "12" into the shapes
A logo animation that I was thinking about using for video intros. Never made anything that rlly fit the vibe though
Navbar ideas, I still really wanna use that last one with a white background with each slice being a color from yellow to orange to brown
Fun Fact: twelve men was considered a seperate entity or "persona" until the events of April 2024
Original "two segment" designs for the stuff page icons back when it was still the interests page. This actually predates the icons on the gallery page
Mockup for the directory featuring the old page colors
Navbar I tried out with matching red-chrome buttons. It was so unfitting I got rid of it immediately
