Revival

A tribute the old and the forgotten.

The main aim of this box is to encourage people to recycle old clothes, buy unwanted items from charity shops then to bring the tired clothes to life with the aid of modern craft.

The box contains 9 double sided postcards which include an illustration on one side and instruction on the others. The kit also comes with stencils, needles and thread.

Handmade authenticity
My final idea is inspired by art and fashion illustration.

Instead of observing a painting asa full image i would focus on the small details which is proof that it is handmade such as brush strokes, splatters of paint and smudges.

I was also inspired by jackson pollock and how the outcomes of his paintings are undetermined I then compared this observation to creativity of handmaking clothes.

I wanted to point out that mistakes can add character and show your own personality creatively.
I would apply this idea to the illustrative style, i would create a basic structure and layout but allow enough freedom to be unplanned.
