Ski Retro!
The challenge this week…
'Create a pattern that uses skiing imagery with a retro or vintage flair.' Submitted designs must use this restricted palette!
For this challenge I started out by researching on the internet, mostly vintage ski posters and ads on Pinterest and Google. I found that the palette was pretty good and workable except for the mustard and ketchup colors.
I started to sketch figures in ski poses with detail but found it to look too busy. Many of the vintage posters that I had researched were simple silkscreen prints, so I changed direction and simplified the shapes once I got them scanned and opened in Photoshop. I had sketched the trees for an earlier project and auditioned them with my figures and liked the simplicity, so I kept them. I liked the monochromatic design but forced myself to use the mustard and ketchup.
I noticed that many of the vintage posters and ads featured cars. I thought adding a car might bring in the vintage feel that I needed and give me a place to use the yellow and red. So I sketched many cars and exaggerated some of their features to give the design retro flair. The cars were added, then the road and finally I thought a lodge was the perfect final element.

Baby Animals!
This weeks entry... Safari Baby!
This weeks contest is all about animal babies, designs are judged by fat quarter (21" x 18").
My approach was to use hand drawn babies in a safari setting. I thought it would be fun to make all of the creatures white with the color being in the background, with bits of color in the leaves and hearts! Keeping it simple! Sweet animal babies enjoying the great outdoors!
