Creating a Wallpaper

Brief: Create a commercial bespoke wallpaper inspired by the designs of Josef Frank…

Inspired by Josef Frank, this design started with an illustration of a trailing botanical branch.

Wallpaper Layer Build Up

The illustration was scanned and put into specialist digital software to create a seamless repeat.

The below series of images show the design with flat colour, then with added shadows, and finally with textures added to create depth and interest.

The build up of these layers shows how adding shadow and texture can elevate a design.

Textures and Layers

Once the textures were added, the layers were reworked so they became incorporated with the flat colours to create a simplified set of separations for colouring.

This new set of separations allows the design to be coloured whilst keeping the same balance for all colourings.

The below video shows the build up of these layers.

Creating Digital Renders

With the design complete, digital renders were created to show the design in situ.

The below digital renders show the wallpaper in different rooms which shows the effect of the trailing design in the interior.

These renders were created to be used as marketing tools.

Outcome: A design, inspired by Josef Frank, developed into a separated file ready to be sent to a wallpaper printers.
