YCN Cath Kidston // Vectorised illustrations and colour scheme

After scanning in the images I used the shape tool to allow easy filling of colour when on Illustrator, at this point I knew I wanted some kind of 80's themed colour scheme, and new that bright vibrant in your face colours were often used, this then led me onto thinking of 80's tracksuits and the colour combinations of them, which are another item which a child of the 80's more than likely would have owned and the colour were often very similar

I chose to use the tracksuit colours you can see below as a basis for my colour scheme, there is a limit of a 12 colour use in this brief and I personally think that is too many colours to allow good aesthetics and consistency throughout a pattern so I want to use much less that that

I have chosen 10 colours to use including a variation of black and white which are more cream and grey but having applied the colours to my illustrations I think they work nicely and also give off an 80's vibe which is what I was going for.

Vectorized illustrations with applied colour scheme.

 To say this is the first illustration brief I have ever done, I am actually quite happy with a majority of the outcomes, however I still do no believe that it is a strong point of mine in the design field. I enjoy to draw in certain animated styles but i don't think I enjoy this style of design enough to use it consistently
