Experiment 1

Experiment 1

Here is my first experiment. I based it on an old paper/scroll map theme. It’s nothing to do with shoes but I thought it would be interesting to experiment with these designs and incorporate them into the shoe. As you can see I went with out scraps of paper between the cuts I laid out on the shoe. I used these purely because I thought it would be an interesting material to use. I then coloured the rest of the shoe different shades of brown that were on the paper so it all looked nice and complimented each other. I then added a paper texture over the main parts of the shoe the same way as I explained in my previous post. These posts are just focusing on the shoe not on the whole image that’s why the background is just a plain solid colour.

Here is my other shoe design finalised. Now it is time to start working on some typography and other designs. I have done the same thing to this design that I did to the previous shoe I uploaded but this time I just used a different texture which looks nice and has worked well. I got the image off the internet, I then lowered the opacity of it to about 50% and then rubbed out the parts of the image I didn’t need and the above image is the outcome of that.
