This portion of the project felt somewhat like a side project, as it was not entirely centred on graphic design itself. Instead, it became a way for me to step away briefly, recalibrate, and spend time engaging more directly with the inspirations behind the work while also celebrating the visual language I had been exploring throughout the project.
The piece itself is relatively small and takes the form of a crocheted work inspired by filet crochet techniques. In an ideal scenario, I would have liked to create the entire publication using this handmade approach, as I felt it would have connected even more strongly to the themes of domestic craft, nostalgia, and cultural memory present within the project. However, I quickly realised that such a process would be extremely time-consuming, and due to the time constraints I was working within, it was ultimately not feasible. Even so, creating this piece allowed me to experiment materially with the project’s core inspirations in a more personal and tactile way.
I scanned the piece so that its details and texture could be clearly captured and translated into a digital format. I think the result preserves the qualities of the original work quite effectively, and it has come out looking visually strong.
