About Buky 일러스트레이션

부키 시리즈는 글라골릭 스토리즈라는 대규모 프로젝트의 일부입니다. 글라골 문자의 두 번째 글자에서 이름을 따왔으며, 글라골 문자의 우아함에서 영감을 받았습니다. 이 일러스트레이션은 부키 문자 프린트가 적용된 후디를 변형하여 표현하였으며, 액세서리, 의상 연출, 메이크업 및 전체적인 분위기를 통해 더욱 돋보이게 하였습니다. 이 작품을 독특하게 만드는 것은 시각 예술의 경험과 신기술 활용을 기반으로 한 특별한 영감과 기술적 접근 방식입니다. 이 작품은 편집 소프트웨어와 AI 기술을 사용하여 제작되었습니다.

Production Technology: The creation of the images begins with preparatory digital sketches, created using Pixlr - Photo Editor. The second step is image generation, using AI technology and different applications. After the primary selection, they are additionally edited and refined with Adobe Photoshop.
Design Challenge: Challenges have been encountered due to the limitations of some programs and applications. These obstacles have been overcome by skillfully exploiting the distinctive characteristics of each available tool. Occasionally, initial sketches required revision, while other cases required producing multiple generations of generated images before achieving the desired result. The AI technology phase was challenging as the designer learned the logic of the algorithm, and tried to choose the appropriate prompts.
Research: The project began in response to a creative impulse and inspiration from the Glagolitic script. Thanks to technology, it has been possible to predict the validity of design solutions. While working on the different designs, the designer also conducted historical and visual research into the use of this script over past centuries. Alongside the work on the designs, a phase of experimentation began with different illustration approaches. Illustrations related to this series are often published on social media, to test the reaction to the visual appearance, design, fashion category, and specific inspiration.
Inspiration: The inspiration for this illustration comes from the second letter of the Glagolitic script, known as Buky. This artwork aims to showcase a design inspired by this ancient writing system and its modern use in fashion design. The foundation of this project lies in the timeless elegance of these letters.
Project Duration: The design project based on the Glagolitic script started in January 2024 in Skopje and is still in the development phase. It was a sequel to the previous project from 2017, which focused on the use of Glagolitic letters for pattern creation. The main illustration, part of the Buky series, was created in February 2024. It was used for the homepage of Nikola Eftimov's website.
Operation Flow: The purpose of these illustrations is the presentation of design work, simulation of possible products or sometimes starting points in the realization of specific designs. Some images from this series have already been used for interviews, on a personal website, and also for posts on social media.
