STUDENT PROJECT 2024
Print Publication | Illustrator, Photoshop
Bake & Doodle
The goal of this project was to create a hand-drawn repeating conversational pattern, based on my own interests, with two different color variations.
Ideation
I started by creating a mood board from Pinterest showing examples of patterns and graphic layouts to create a pattern repeat and a conversation. I started sketching conversational graphics for several topics, although the baking graphics held the most personal connection to me and gave the playful appearance I was looking for. Once I had all of these created, I created color variations, one focusing on the natural baked good colors (brown, pink, and white) and the other being a bit more abstract (green and purple).
Final Pattern
Once I had all of these created, I created color variations, one focusing on the natural baked good colors (brown, pink, and white) and the other being a bit more abstract (green and purple). I then created the pattern using the pattern tool in Adobe Illustrator, but once I received feedback to make my pattern repeat less linear, I altered the layout of elements to create a fluid repeat. This change made it harder to find the repeat but allowed the viewer to enjoy the varied locations, scales, and angles of the graphics.
