OVERVIEW<\/span><\/h2>\n

My role: Art director and designer
\n<\/span>Industry: Fashion and interior design
\nDuration: 6 months<\/p>\n

THE CHALLENGE<\/h3>\n

Creating 5 pillows suitable for indoor\/outdoor use that mesh with Elevate Graphic Design’s studio aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Elevate Design was looking to have pillows with a custom pattern made for both indoor and outdoor use at their Vancouver studio. They wanted colours that would complement the greenery surrounding the studio patio as well as the colour palette used inside the studio. The current interior space incorporated mainly grays and neutral colours with occasional pops of saturated orange, and furniture and art that evoked a mid-century modern vibe. The client wanted accent pillows that would bring a retro\u2014yet contemporary\u2014pop of colour to both spaces. Further parameters included fabric durable enough for pets, and a turnaround time of three weeks.<\/p>\n

THE CLIENT<\/h3>\n

Elevate Design is a graphic design and illustration studio based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
