TWO NEW DESIGNS - GREAT NEW REEF LAYOUT WITH A LOT OF SPACE TO GIVE IT YOUR OWN TWIST.

07-30-2010

Our new Reef Design allows a lot of room for customization.  Add your name,your trip, your event, dates, destinations!  We might be able toadd other reef dwellers for you, if for instance, you'd rather see aGoliath Grouper or Manta Rays. Another option is to substitute some Pacific dwellers if your destination is in the South Pacific.   (Can also be  used for liveaboards and boat subjects)




















The Liveaboard / boat version is every bit as customizable.   Please be aware, though, that there could be artwork charges to turn your boat into compatible artwork, if we do not have a suitable vessel on file for your event or trip.




















Email us at info@islandimagedesign.com or phone us  to see how we can make this, or any of our other designs, YOURS for your trip, event, destination, or staff.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW VINTAGE TRAVEL POSTER LINE

03-13-2010

This new design is versatile and works well for destinations, dive travel, or even general travel! The 1960's era vintage dive gear can be removed if you so desire, and we can add a dive flag buoy on the water. We started with two designs that work well for most any island destination, whether the island has hills such as in the Southern Caribbean, or flatter such as the Keys, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Grand Caymans. In the South Pacific you'll find some of each.  Add your destination at the top, and your company, group, trip or event at the bottom.

(We strongly recommend this design in natural since it was designed for the ultimate vintage look. It will print brighter on white.)

GOLIATH GROUPER - MORE THAN JUST A BIG FISH

08-26-2009

Just a heads-up!  We're working on a new Goliath Grouper design.  Look for it in the next week or so! 

And a personal thought about Lionfish.  On CBS News last night, there was a piece highlighting the Lionfish problem in the Atlantic.  'They' seem to be blaming this all on Hurricane Andrew.  HUH?  This problem is far more than an aquarium dumping into the Atlantic in 1992.  It's important that we all be aware of what an invasive species can do to an eco system and discourage owners of exotic pets to find an appropriate home for pets they no longer want, instead of dumping them in the wild.  We have Pythons in the Everglades eating all they can eat.  We have Iguanas in the Keys and South  Florida ruining gardens, eating native growth and overtaking large areas of land.  And of course, we have Lionfish and other invasives in the sea.  Please support legislation to stop import of exotic species such as these. 

NEW SOUTH PACIFIC DESIGNS PLUS SOMETHING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!

08-15-2009

We have added some new South Pacific-oriented designs featuring a few Pacific dwellers.  If you're visiting the South Pacific, you'll love wearing the Lionfish designs:
















Another new South Pacific inspired design features our clownfish - known as Nemo's to some:





















If you are in Caribbean or East Coast US waters, you'll view lionfish differently.  Introduced by aquarium enthusiasts who haven't thought their actions through, they are considered to be invaders and are beginning to decimate our reefs since they have no real natural predators in these waters.  If you're planning a lionfish roundup or a program to deal with these predators, tees are a great fundraiser AND motivator!

NEW SOUTH PACIFIC DETAILS ON THE DRAWING BOARD

08-04-2009

Many of our customers are asking that we add South Pacific marine life to our reef designs so in response to this request, we are currently working on just that.  Expect to see these new features in our reef designs, plus several new South Pacific reef fish designs in the next month. 

First up is the lionfish, native to the South Pacific and considered an invader in other parts of the world's oceans.   Look for the new designs  in the next few days promoting South Pacific diving and this native species, as well as designs promoting awareness that this invasive species can decimate an eco-system if they're in the wrong part of the world.  

We always welcome ideas and requests from YOU!

T SHIRTS - THE MOST VERSATILE MARKETING TOOL - Your customers can pay for your advertising!

07-31-2009

We call them walking billboards.  With printed t-shirts, polos, and other imprinted garments, it's important to display not only your logo but eye-catching designs. Thee logo  can be on the front left of a shirt, as is traditional, or it is now trendy to drop the logo on the back, centered a few inches under the neckline.   Obviously on the later, you'd want to have a great design on the front of the shirt.  Your guest house, hotel, lodging guests, snorkel or dive trip customers, bar and restaurant customers, tour guests and fishing clients will all want to take home a shirt showing where they've been and what they were doing.   Not only do they PAY for the shirt which advertises your business, you make a profit on it as well.   Think of it:  How many t-shirts do you personally own from previous vacations, cruises or trips?  And aren't your favorites well worn?  The older they get, the more comfortable they are and....you still remember the experience every time you wear the shirt.  

If you do not have a tourist-related business, it's still a great way to get your name on the street.  Make 'company logo' items available to your employees at a great low price - or even at cost.  They'll want to wear them even when they're not working and will probably want to give some to friends and family as well.  Again, your name is on the street even during non-business hours.  

If you're a boutique or other trendy shop or business, fashionable items featuring your name,  your product, your artwork, your identity  will easily sell at retail and again, you are making a profit as well as gaining another opportunity to put your name out in the world beyond the store walls. 

AT LAST! THE ADOLPHUS BUSH SR. WRECK HAS IT'S OWN SHIRT!

07-03-2009

At the request of Innerspace Dive Center in Big Pine Key, we have added two new Adolphus Busch Sr. wreck diving tees.    It has been added to the Worlds' Best Dive series,



and there's also the full-color Busch design that includes two paintings of the ship - before and during the sinking.  



Both are a great way to commemorate your dives on this 11 year old wreck!  Add your dates, your group, your company to make it your own.

NEW VANDENBERG HISTORY SHIRT IS HERE!

06-01-2009

The new Vandenberg dive tee is here! 


The design features the original ship launched in the early 40's, the General Harry Taylor, and the General Hoyt S Vandenberg underway (along with battle ribbons).   These two depictions are based on US Navy archive photos and have been hand-colored for a bright, authentic look.  Detail? We've even added the proper flags!  And finally, a painting depicting  the sinking from one of our photos taken during the sinking. 

As always, it's customizable.  Put your group, your dates - whatever you wish on the upper-left of the design.  

Check it out in our web store.

THE VANDENBERG SINKS AND AN ARTIFICIAL REEF IS BORN!

05-27-2009

The General Hoyt S.Vandenberg went down in Key West and we were there to photograph and watch it happen.  It was most impressive to see a 520' ship sink - all in under 2 minutes!  The photos we took will be the basis for a new design depicting the ship in her original state as the Harry Taylor , then as the Hoyt S. Vandenberg and finally, as she sinks to become a fabulous wreck dive and artificial reef. 

The Vandenberg has been added to our 'World's Best' series  and the first two limited edition tees printed were gifts to the friends who graciously hosted us on their yacht for the sinking, Kurt and Elizabeth Ockershausen.


Stay tuned for the new Vandenberg design, as well as other new wreck designs!
