TROPICAL VIBES - BOARDIES x ARTS THREAD DESIGN COMPETITION

Updated: Sep 9, 2020

Over the summer, I've been creating designs for the Boardies design competition, held with Arts Thread. The brief was to design 3 patterns for Boardies' swimwear and apparel range, along with creating the mood and design boards to go with them.

There were three themes to influence our designs, to which I chose the theme 'tropical vibes'.

This is the mood board I created to help me put a colour palette together, and portray the mood and feel I'm going for in my designs.

My designs were composed of digitally drawn tropical leaves, while also making use of some drawings created throughout my New Designers project. I've also used a range of brushes to add textures and patterns within the leaves and background.



Once I had my three designs, I mapped them onto a range of Boardies swimwear and apparel and created these design boards.
