WW1 3D Letters

We were asked to create 3D letters themed around the WW1 home front. I designed these letters in Adobe Illustrator and then extruded them in Cinema 4D to create letters that could be 3D printed in plastic.

For one of our projects we were asked to design letters inspired by the home front. I was given the letters 'V' and 'D', so I created these letters in Illustrator, based around the themes of Victory and Digging.

The letters had to work as stencils, so needed to be quite simple and made in one piece, so that it wouldn't fall apart when cut out.

 

 



1950s retro fabric design

1950s and 1960s Retro Fabric Design

For one of my projects I am designing fabric for a shop fitting room. The shop is called 'The Vintage Boutique' and sells vintage closing. I am inspired by 1950s and 1960s floral fabrics and I am also inspired by clothing and accessories of the time. Fabric of these decades often featured polka dots, so I may incorporate this in some of my work. These are some patterns which I created in Illustrator.

Experiments and Ideas

Final pattern

After experimenting with different colours, layouts and patterns, I combined the successful elements together to create this final pattern. I decided that I liked the regular pattern repeat, the illustrations of the accessories and the neutral and red colour scheme best.  I have sent my fabric tile off to 'Woven Monkey' to be printed.

1950s Inspired Fashion Illustration

This evening I created an illustration to possibly use in my vintage fashion project (designing with materials module). I began by drawing an outline of the girls face in Illustartor using the pen tool, then filling her in with flat colour and some patterns which I created (spots and checks). I then used a water colour brush to create the finishing touches giving the design a hand painted artistic feel. I enjoyed working on this and am pleased with the outcome.

 I also created this hand drawn image below which I may use in my project on designing with materials.
