Anime Themed Shirts

Apparel Retailer

Anime plays a huge role in my life. I watch it, live it, and wear it. How best to show your fandom than with a cool, themed t-shirt based off your favorite anime? Atsuko is one such store that I frequent to find apparel based off of my favorite types of anime. The retail experience can solely live online, and the store would be focused on specific types of apparel and anime to focus the amount of items on sale.
Example store: Atsuko


Video Game Themed Shirts

Apparel Retailer

Pretty much verbatim from above, but centered on video games rather than anime. Same idea and concept, but different items and presentation. Unlike the anime themed shirts, video game themed shirts can have more versatility in artistic representation in apparel and there are no shortage of third party branded materials of first party video games to choose from when creating this store.
Example store: Insert Coin


Video Game Art

Specialized Art Retailer

I've been adorning my living space with art that represents my interests. If you haven't gathered by now, I'm a huge fan of video games and anime. For this store, I've recently started gaining interest in the shadow box. According to wikipedia, a shadow box is "an enclosed glass-front display case containing an object or objects presented in a thematic grouping with artistic or personal significance. The grouping of the objects and the depth effect created by their relative heights from the backing creates a dramatic visual result." This retail space would be dedicated to shadow box based on video games.
Example store: Glitch Artwork
