Ever wondered how we take a design 'concept' to a completed design ready for print?
The application used in this demonstration is Adobe Illustrator.
These steps of course don't include the initial research to establish what are the best 'types' of design for example 'vintage' in the example shown.
If you have ever tried to create your own designs you will appreciate just how long it can take to come up with a design idea in the first place ... let alone taking your design from idea to completion, ready top print.

DESIGN PROCESS STEP #1: Initial pencil sketch of the concept, scanned for use as a tracing template
DESIGN PROCESS STEP #2: Tracing and creating design elements, overlaid on the template
DESIGN PROCESS STEP #3: Fonts chosen and type added
DESIGN PROCESS STEP #4: Close up of the vector paths. I've outlined some of the type, but kept some editable so can
be changed for different years
DESIGN PROCESS STEP #5: Finished job, overlaid on dark and coloured backgrounds in order to choose final design
