WHAT:
Surface Level Studio is my initial explorations into the world of surface design. My hope is to improve my skills in illustration, custom mock ups, pattern design and the fashion and interior design industries.
As a minimalist at heart it was an intimidating task to create a brand that could hold so many different patterns while still feeling clean and intentional.
The lightly organic font choices and a broad color palette that leaned towards the nostalgic allowed me flexibility in my designs. I also panned seasonal colors that were compatible with the main palete to introduce at my work evolved with the seasons.
I started by creating patterns for the #thepatternchallengebymel (a professional surface designer) where each day in august was assigned a word prompt and the community would create a corresponding pattern. I also enjoyed creating Mock Ups of each design to bring the pattern to life.
Even after the challenge Im still enthusiastically exploring the world of patterns.
