Creative Process

Primarily self-directed, this project included a large volume of illustrations and layouts that needed to be accomplished on a tight deadline. I hand-drew each illustration, scanned them, and then rendered them digitally. I began with blocking out the shapes and values of the figures. After, I would add details, texture, and finishing touches.

Each spread introduces the garment’s name, origins, cultural significance, and a visual breakdown reflected in the spot illustrations on the left page. The right page showcases the full outfit with accompanying accessories.
