Line Sheet

(Dec. 2022) This was my first project created utilizing Illustrator to simulate a process used in the apparel industry. Line sheets and story boards help to communicate not only the design of the garments in season, but also help communicate the concept behind the designs as well as information that doesn’t pertain to the aesthetic such as the sizing range and delivery date amongst other information. For this project I was tasked with creating a line that had 6 garments with two from the following the categories: Core, Carryover, and Fashion Forward, as well as base the colors used in the designs around a certain concept. The concept that I used for my colorways were the colors of nature during the various seasons. For summer I used brighter colors, fall i toned the colors down a little bit, and then winter saw me use either extremely dark colors or colors that had a lighter, more pale look to them. For the core category, I designed a simple boxy fit button down and some slightly baggy straight leg sweats. This look was designed to be an athleisure look that could also function as a casual look if need be. The carryover look featured a hoodie with raw edges on the sleeves and hem, as well as a pair of distressed jeans that also had a raw hem. This look played into the fact that while these pieces may not be worn on the daily, the simple yet versatile design could make these pieces that are able to be worm various times throughout the year. The fashion forward look is a double hooded hoodie with half the exterior hood matching the body while the other half matches the interior hood, and cargo pants that have 6 3D pockets and can be converted into shorts by unzipping the part of the pant right above the pocket itself. The double hooded hoodie is me paying homage to a 90s starter hoodie that I had previously seen; it’s not pictured here but the hoodie is also intended to have 4 drawstrings, each in contrast to the color of the hood. I think this would still do well in modern times, especially with 90s themed garments being sought after because they provide a more authentic aesthetic. The cargo pants were designed with the idea of being able to go from summer to winter in a singular garment, thus zippers were implemented to slowly convert the garment from pants, to a capri-like look, to cargo shorts. I think this design would still do well also because it provides the wearer with the ability to style it in multiple ways, some of which were thought about and intended when being designed.
