Upon reflection, I have decided to redesign the Stitch It Bitch spread as the spring coloured buttons were too much of a ‘pretty’ aesthetic, when I want the magazine to have more of a street style look. I have created the redesign by focusing on the word ‘bitch’ and the connotations which come with it.

Inspired by Anna Kozdon, I created flat design illustrations recreated from three photographs of female models which I have taken throughout the project. Having experimented with illustration in my first Swap not Shop feature, which I was not completely satisfied with, I thoroughly enjoyed this digital technique and outcome.

I have refined the final layout by:
– Using two of the three illustrations to create more space
– Adding highlight colour to red dress to create depth to illustration
– Adding dashed stroke around typography to reflect imagery to word ‘stitch’
