About YrDesigner the interactive design & live printing experience YrDesigner is an interactive design tool, combining a unique, custom-built software and state of the art printing technology. This impressive set-up allows guests quickly and easily to create designs on large, 27" touch screens. Functions such as filters and text mean that in no time at all guests will be creating incredible, unique designs. The touch screen device invites guests to swipe their way through a vast library of patterns and individual images which users are then encouraged to piece together before applying effects, filters and text to create a bespoke design. Once a design is perfected, guests watch our expert team print & press the garment right in front of their eyes.

Google Beach at Cannes Lions

Visitors to the Google Beach this year’s Cannes Lions were invited to Androidify a water bottle at a pop-up created by Transformers’ UK partner. Budget permitting, the design of the pop-up can contribute hugely to the overall brand experience. In this instance, imaginative display including a dry cleaning style moving track and hexagonal storage for blanks created a highly visual activation in which the design software was kept simple to minimise queue time.

London Wine Week at Harvey Nichols

Harvey Nichols London created an in-store event to coincide with London Wine Week and requested an exciting way for customers to take home a bespoke “keeper”. The solution? A concept whereby customers designed their own unique wine label in 6 easy steps using our unique multi-touch screens & software, and had it printed live in-store. Pre-selected images and themes along with the #HNWine stamp on each label created a real buzz on social media and incredible results. The in-system graphics, as well as the environment, were beautifully designed align with Harvey Nichols’ brand values and the quality of the wines.

Festive Season Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi


Festive Season at Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi Galleria, a luxury mall on Al Maryah Island, deployed YrDesigner for an immensely popular 12-day activation at its first ever Festive Market. Via our unique touch screens and software, users first selected a background design from a pre-loaded pool of graphic assets. They were able to selected up to 4 individual foreground elements, before adding optional text and a template (or overlay). The Transformers team printed and heat pressed the design onto a T-shirt using the latest dye sublimation technology. This entire process took around 5 minutes per shirt, from start to finish. The on-screen content was customised for the young audience: bespoke assets created especially for Galleria included a series of custom-branded overlays, while the destination’s minimalist badge logo was introduced as an additional foreground element.
