Squeeze Me - Digital Fabric Collection & Color Blocking

This collection exemplifies "ideation to final product" marrying technology and hand application. Making a grid of the elements and principles of design then hand drawing a representation of "lemon" for each intersection, I was able to come up with unique art within the theme. With market research and developing the ideal color scheme through Adobe Color, it exuded relaxing with a citrus flare. Bringing in hand drawn sketches into Illustrator, I traced and develop repeated designs which were meticulously color mapped and layered to achieve the optimal effect. With the leaf pattern in particular, I finished the half drop design with hand drawn repeats achieving the unique continuous look. Ensuring to size the graphics to the pieces they were intended for and researching the exact fabrics/opacity, I color blocked the textiles onto the final product images. Cheers and Sunshine!

Final collection board complete with color blocked images constructed in Photoshop using the fabric designs to scale, final color pallet using Adobe Color, and a hand drawn logo I made in Illustrator. The textile design names felt OH SO appropriate for a beach lounging collection. Which is your favorite drink?
This is where the collection thought process started! Starting mood board showing my initial color pallet and my hand drawn sketches depicting images of lemon inspired art I hand drew based on where the "principle and element of design" words intersected

Hand finished repeat image in a half drop pattern. The coloration was determined after the color pallet was finalized and meticulously placed to ensure even weight in the design. Final graphic is scaled to 5" X 5"

This original drawing was made using rolling a lemon in Indian ink to make the print. I image traced the texture using contrast manipulation in Illustrator.

This image has about 5 layers of different opacities and color gradations. I layered each one to ensure an overall feel of a lemon skin. Final graphic is scaled at 15" X 15" to reflect a more textured feel. Almost like being camouflaged by a lemon
Eye Spy - Can you spot the lemon within the lemon skin pattern? Proof image of the Lemon Skin pattern. I made this coloration very yellow forward knowing it was to be paired with a sheer fabric where the colors would be toned down.
Image trace in Illustrator of the lemon script I drew on my initial mood board
Not just a word (with backwards N) - I incorporated lemons using my painting skills in Photoshop and Illustrator, and brought in pops of grey and blue. This script graphic is packed with layers and depth while still feeling fresh. The gender neutral design is extremely versatile! Final graphic is sized at a 7" X 7" scale

Proof image of the Lemon Script textile design. This doesn't just feel like an all over script but rather a refreshing graphic print with depth
