Stitchd

This conceptual project was designed for magazine publication. The magazine
I am designing with a focus on sustainable
fashion, reusing, and upcycling clothing.
The concept is very derived from the process
of making your own clothes or altering
clothes already produced.

Research

I looked into a large amount of visual context for the process of making clothes. I learned about stitching patterns. I concluded that my design system should be based on the idea
of Altered.

Wordmark

The first task was creating a wordmark for the publication. The typeface’s jagged angles and pointed terminals were cohesive with the textile process. I ideated ways to make the mark more personal while also reflecting clothing production. The solution I decided on was adding ligatures and little notches under the crossbar of the t.

Process

This process was one of my most extensive. I started extremely small, focusing on type layouts, and progressed to hundreds of full spreads with varying hierarchies and uses of imagery.

The Fragmentation of type employed in the final spreads fits the altered motif. Shifting columns and irregular spacing reflect the stitching process.
