Hobos Vintage

After brain storming with Nik, he decided he wanted me to try incorporating all three decades of clothing that Hobos the store stocks (60s, 70s and 80s.) He also wanted me to use the orange, yellow, blue and red that had previously been used in a Hobos logo. So i went back to the drawing board and tried to think of iconic things to sketch for each decade that would be then split into three sections on the (plus a fourth for the name and details.)

A Mary Quant dress, roller disco shoes and Space invaders aliens were what I eventually decided on so I sketched everything out and collated it all digitally. Apparently they were a success at Freshers Fair so Nik was extremely happy with the outcome.

Hobos Flyer Idea

Nik from Hobos, Swansea, a vintage fashion store, asked me to come up with a flyer design for freshers fair for the store that would appeal to students. I struggled to think of a suitable design to sell the store as it was difficult to sum up what the store offers as they stock clothes from 3 different decades. I thought a cassette may be a good idea as they still relate to young people today but are also representative of the past. I sketched out a cassette and messed around with the colour but before I looked into finalising the design I wanted to check Nik was okay with it.

Despite the fact that he liked the sketch, he thought it gave the impression of a music store not a clothing one so we decided to drop it and use it for a Sin City flyer instead. I still liked the rough visuals though so thought I'd share them.
