Tissue Box Mockups

One of my main aims has been to try and find a company who would be interested in licensing my designs to feature on tissue boxes - It would be great to see my designs on shelves in a big retailer somewhere. I am always constantly contacting companies with my ideas.

Those of you who know me, know that I NEVER give up...

So watch this space!

'Summer Solstice'

'Bustling Seeds'

'Spring Fields'

All my designs are created using actual objects - mostly natural objects. I scan these and manipulate them in Adobe Illustrator to form a vector based motif that I then layer up to form a repeat pattern formation. What you see below is just the seamless repeat tile.

I am currently reworking some older versions of each design in the hope that I can sell these designs for commercial projects.

For example, if 'Spring Fields' was purchased, the buyer would receive:

x1 - Main Design
x5 bonus colourways of the same design
All variations come with their own Adobe Illustrator file and repeat tile (JPEG)
All elements on separate layers for easy amendments - you might want to create your own colourways which would be easy to make adjustments.
I have also included the original scans of the objects I have used to form the individual motifs. If I do not use an object in the process, I include a scan of the original drawing I did that formed the motif. Sometimes I like to combine hand drawn elements and actual objects!

If I was the purchaser myself, I would want good value for money, knowing I had the full flexibility to make adjustments or further create some co-ordinating designs for example.

I feel I have a unique style of work and anybody who has purchased my work will know I take my time to ensure my layers are titled accordingly to make life as easy as possible.

Over the last 12 months I have been concentrating more on my fine art work which has been going well. See my other website:

www.richardbakerart.com

It was good to have a break away from the designing of patterns, so I could refresh my mind with new inspiration, new ideas and so...here is my new work!

All my designs are mostly inspired by my country walks and all the motifs used are actual plants etc....that I collected that day. I often include the original scans in the Patternbank bundle along with bonus colourways. All have separated layered files in Adobe Illustrator...for total flexibility.

It can actually be purchased from Patternbank

Most of the designs I have uploaded can be purchased on a Commercial License option. I would absolutely love to know how any purchased designs get used commercially...they really deserve to be put to good use!
