CAMOUFLAGE
Hi There, 👋🏻 i’m Andrea a fashion graphic designer focused on fashion product design for menswear and sportswear. Through this blog I want to share highlights and tips from the field i work in. Hope you enjoy and feel free to get in touch!
Camouflage pattern was born for a real necessity: to blend in into the nature and hide from the enemy. Nowadays we could definitely say that its use in the “everyday-life” is the opposite: to stand out!
Trying to find the right inspiration for a cool camou-pattern sometimes is as satisfying as walking in the mountains.
Adding the three dimension effect with the right material can give a lot of value to your designs (emulating the moss effect, for example).
One of the most common camouflage design is made by stains, playing with a cool color palette is the right way to create something unique.
Never forget about the background: it can bring your design to another level.
Camou patterns are 99,8% of the times printed. Opting for a jacquard version may add a touching value to the fabric. Even if the cost of production of jacquards fabric is higher than printing a camel piece dyed, the result could stand out.
Styling a camouflage is not always easy, the only suggestion is: don’t be shy!
