Pixel Business • Game Repeats
Smiggle • 2016-17 • Adobe Illustrator
ICON ILLUSTRATIONS • I've drawn a fair bit of pixel art over the years! This first repeat drew inspiration from 8-bit RPG games.
REPEAT YARDAGE DESIGN • As a fan of role playing games, I snuck in a couple of quest-giving characters, such as the ogre here asking for a key.
PRODUCTS • This was a unique yardage destined for a handful of products released in Asia.
ICON ILLUSTRATION • Based on the success of an earlier knoll-y repeat I'd created, I developed what I call my 'pixel consumer goods' yardage.
REPEAT YARDAGE DESIGN • Repeats like this are a bit like Tetris or jigsaw puzzles. Establishing a basic grid was helpful for this one.
PRODUCT • This graphic was created for Smiggle's Senior range, appearing on backpacks, slapbands and pencil cases.
ICON ILLUSTRATIONS • These things above were created for an "emoji" themed range.
REPEAT YARDAGE DESIGN • I added some tonal elements and speech bubbles, along with some other icons.
PRODUCT • This repeat was well received and sold quite well! It was repeated with a change to the base colour.
