Contemporary Souvenir

We were asked to work on a project that the tourist board were developing called the Contemporary Souvenir, we could do what ever we wanted but the name had to remain i decided to work on a logo turning the c and the s into a symbol of Ireland the shamrock but trying to give it a modern minimal feel so it could be used on a wide range of products

I then went on to work on a concept for one of the possible souvenirs i thought that a range of limited edition traditional irish linen could be developed by local artist perhaps even as a yearly project for the art college. The linens would feature contemporary prints and would be function from scarves to linen book covers etc so would be both traditional because of the fabric but functional. My idea was that each edition would come from a particular county an the print would be influenced by famous landmarks in this area. The example i have sketch up are an Antrim edition featuring the Giant causeways imagery, i have used my Textiles artists name on these tag designs and mocked up a possible print.

Above are some ideas of how the tags would look each one will have a tag of the county with information on it as well as a layering of tags with information on the artist the the idea behind the print etc
