Volunteer Design PlacementFrugi
Feb 2020 - Feb 2020Helston, United KingdomInternship
Design placement tasks included assisting with every day designing for the upcoming season AW21, which involved theme research and developing design skills. I worked on the design process using illustrator and the wacom tablet, evolving all-over print/repeat designs and digital hand-illustration skills. This included creating complimentary stripes and spots that sat with the cohesive collection for each theme drop. I also explored up-scaling illustrative characters, whilst colouring and building overviews for the autumn/winter season.
