The illustrations that appear on this board has been scanned into a mac and have been drawn over in illustrator. I decided to keep the sketchy look of the illustrations as they add a personal touch the design. I used the pen tool to create the outline which I then pasted into photoshop. And the same goes for the technical drawings that are placed on the board.
Instead of using block colour to fill in the illustration (giving the idea of what colours of the fabrics would be) I thought it would be more interesting to use fabric swatches to demonstrate the how the designs would look.
This was also useful to the illustrations as there wasn't much detail on the illustrations themselves. The detail was more in the patterns and the textures of fabrics. Cutting out certain parts of the fabric swatches for the illustrations made the board more quirky and more up to date. It also brought out the theme which was based on designed textures and corresponding patterns.
I am currently thinking of going back into my denim project and redoing the boards digitally as the process is a lot faster and the out come appears to be more professional. This would come in hand for portfolios and interviews.
