I love a walk in the winter. Especially if there's snow on the ground. You know, when it's crisp and white and nobody has been there before you. And before it turns to grey slush. Here's the perfect ensemble for braving the elements.
Summer Breeze
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:48:02+00:00When I think of Joyful Blooms which was the brief, there can only be one flower that springs to mind. Yes, the big smiley faces of the sunflowers. All with their heads tilted to the sun. Just joyful. I used a risograph effect to bring these flowers to life sticking with the colours from the [...]
Sidewinder
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:44:33+00:00This glitchy pattern was created to fit a brief called Twisted. I immediately thought of snakes and orange peel. Quite an odd combination I know but that's a creative brain for you :). I love how random it is against the staggered blocks and glitches. I stuck with the mood board colours I created and [...]
Divine Discoveries
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:33:40+00:00A natural 'from the earth' surface pattern based on the brief 'Mineral'. Divine Discoveries is all about calming beachy vibes and colours. Fossils and conch shells are surrounded by healing crystals to make this pastel coloured sandy pattern. This could work in bathrooms and on homewares as well as fabrics for making clothing.
Shore Thing!
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:24:31+00:00Based on the boardwalks of California, this brief entitled 'Shore Thing!' is all American. With the pelicans that sit on the boardwalk to the fish who swim under it, this pattern has it all. Rollerskates represent the leisure activities on the boardwalk while shells and crabs represent what goes on underneath. And there's always a [...]
Sunset Palms
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:17:14+00:00I loved creating this pattern for the brief 'Botanist'. The moodboard I created for it inspired me to try risograph for the first time and I love the result. I didn't want this to be a full on green pattern even though it's obviously based on plants because there are some beautifully coloured plants. I [...]
Wanderlust
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:14:01+00:00The brief for this pattern was 'Eclectic Heirloom'. I created a mood board after mind mapping my ideas and I kept coming back to travel. Old maps, globes, tiles and nature. I wanted to make the pattern more appealing to a contemporary home so although I stuck to my original mood board colours, I added [...]
Bear Be Kind Collection
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-08T17:01:12+00:00Creating these four bear characters for a sticker collection to sell in my online shop led to me expanding the range to include surface pattern design. I knew these bears could work well in different scenarios as well as stand alone prints. I created a logo for the collection and got to work on the [...]
Winter Friend Trio
Lindsay Elissa Coils2021-09-02T20:23:25+00:00A personal project using Procreate. I wanted create a trio of Winter Friends which I mocked up as iPhone covers to see how they would work as a product.
Toucans
Lindsay Elissa Coils2018-06-22T16:22:37+00:00Created for a weekly themed Colour Collective post using a specific colour. This particular weeks colour was amber, seen here in the beaks of these cuddled up toucans in their luscious jungle setting.
