bespoke wallpaper design

Bespoke wallpaper design

So I created this design from some ink textures I painted on watercolour paper for another branding project. I also used some old botanical prints of hydrangeas and leaves and scanned in graph paper for some detail. There’s also a bird wing with a photo of feather textures inside it. I used the white geometric shapes to pull it all together compositionally. Creating patterns in Illustrator is great as it works in real time, so when you change an aspect to the central design, it automatically changes the repeat pattern around it so you can get a very immediate results. This works as a one off single illustration design and as a large repeat pattern for the design for wallpaper, framed or for the inside of a hand bag (I say this as I’ve been designing patterns for women’s bags recently). I’m going to print this out and frame it somewhere. I love it.
