The challenge was to design and produce T shirts for Sri Lanka’s Largest Engineering Exhibition, Exmo 2023. The organizing committee approached Kolombo with the intention of selling their merchandise to the attendees. They wanted something elegant, yet appealing to all crowds that would attend the exhibition. The designers took this to heart and started the project.
Discovery Phase
The discovery research suggested that the university students are accustomed to a certain type of apparel in their day to day university life. This is the Wetlook sublimation printed T shirt. The other major sector of potential customers were the casual wearers of apparel. Both of these consumer groups must be addressed.

Product Design
Two main design ideas were sketched out in the initial phase. The first three designs were a pattern based sublimation printed T shirt that focused on Exmo Branding, designed in collaboration with the EXMO organizing committee. The second two were Single Jersey solutions that explored the Graphic T shirt style inspired by Streetwear designs, designed by Kolombo Designers. Checkout the T shirt designs below.
What we do, we do right!
The solution was designed and produced to perfection, and T shirts were sold out throughout the Exhibition days, offering a proper fund raise for the organizers.
