The Design

About Formosa Sapphire Šal

Formosa Sapphire svileni je šal ukrašen uzorkom Swinhoeova fazana, vrste ptice endemične za Tajvan. Dizajn se odlikuje ručno crtanim potezima kista, finim linijskim teksturama i živim bojama. Ptica je proučavana putem fotografija i referentnih knjiga, a zatim detaljno nacrtana. Umjetničko djelo pretvoreno je u vektorsku datoteku kako bi se sačuvali izvorni potezi i boje, te je digitalnim tiskom naneseno na svilu. Šal ima dimenzije 650 x 650 milimetara. Namjera je predstaviti endemske tajvanske ptice široj publici i podržati svijest o očuvanju ptica.

Design Challenge: At first, all the sketches and paints are on paper, in order to print, the designer has to convert the original artworks into a vector image file. During the conversion process, adjustment work was time-consuming and challenging because the designer wanted to keep the original strokes and bright colors.
Research: Since Swinhoe's Pheasant is difficult to find, the designer observed the appearance of the animal through photographs and from the book Wild Bird of Taiwan, then drew the beautiful appearance of the animal delicately.
Inspiration: Swinhoe's Pheasant is a kind of endemic species in Taiwan. It is covered in feathers with blue color and its gestures are eye-catching and difficult to see. The designer was once lucky to see the Swinhoe's Pheasant in a mountain, and she was immediately impressed by the animal. She believes these birds should be introduced to the world. At the same time, people can also raise the awareness of endemic species birds conservation.
Project Duration: started in October 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Taiwan
