Interplanetary
Pattern set
I started this project with some random illustrations and no idea of where I was going to go from there. I saw what I liked about my illustrations, wrote keywords on them, decided on a theme, and created a moodboard. At this time Metro Boomin and Travis Scott released albums that had very astro/space vibes and listening to them inspired me while creating these patterns. I love the juxtaposition of the childlike illustrations compared to the very modern and sophisticated elements in this cohesive collection.
I also created a 28-page booklet that tells the story of how these patterns were created and shows the patterns in their entirety. The booklet is 6” x 6” and can be sent to fabric suppliers or textile companies that could potentially license them. The following is the overview of this pattern set I included in the promotional booklet:
Interplanetary is a collection of patterns that will take you to other galaxies. As a child I had a fantasy of what outer space was. It included a variety of bright colours, interesting creatures, and a lot of excitement. Now that I’m an adult it is less exciting and more of an unknown place full of mystery and beauty. Interplanetary is a combination of my childhood fantasies and current wonderings coming together in an odd way to show the beauty as well as the ominosity of outer space.
