Project Statement Dinky Dots is a brand idea created by Hannah Rose Dunton. The idea is to create interactive fun designs for childrens clothing, home and accessories. Animal characters have been created to be able to connect with the children and help bring out their personalities. Each character has something different about them so the designs will relate to all children. The aim for the project was to make intricate designs playing to my strengths in screen printing, hand drawing and CAD. The main focus for the market is for fashion but to then spread out into homewear and accessories to be able to connect closer to the children in order for the brand to become more popular. The idea is unique in the way it is presented, pushing the boundries of high street design and creating something that children want but parents can appreciate. Taking advantage of the animal popularity in children's clothing Dinky Dots has taken the trend and created something new and exciting. If you look closely and read there stories everything within the designs connect to their personalities.
Screen Prints Screen Printing techniques were used to create backgrounds that represented the animals personalities.
Bright, vibrant colours were carefully chosen to reflect the character. Shapes and forms embodied the animal’s persona, which created unique backgrounds for each one.
Using Photoshop and Illustrator the basic prints were transformed into repeat tiles to sit behind the animal drawing.

Detailed drawings using different media were drawn, each drawing was carefully thought out.
Each drawing reflects part of the animals’ story, for example bananas for the fruit enthusiast giraffe.
The drawings were then taken into CAD to create an animal out of the drawings. (As seen on the next few pages)

Oscar The Owl

Oscar the Owl is a wise old man who has travelled the world. He is a character to look up too and aspire to be when you’re older. At times he is serious and will always tell you the truth. He is a retired architect and is obsessed with straight lines. When travelling Cathedrals inspired his work as an architect due to the perfect lines within the buildings. He wants precision with everything he does and is an absolute neat freak! He is a calm, cool and collected character who will be everyone’s friend as long as they are reliable. He may look mean at times but he will always mean well!.
Issac The Wolf
Isaac the wolf isn’t as scary as he seems. He is a nerdy guy who loves computers; he’s a genius when it comes to them! Intelligent and geeky yet still a cool friendly character. He loves space and the idea of being an astronaut but being a wolf he can’t live that dream so he plays space themed computer games instead! Fascinated by dinosaurs and his favourite colour is purple. He has a big imagination with a bold personality and can’t resist a cheeseburger with bacon.

The personal and interactive scheme to the designs will reflect in a home collection. Eye catching designs that are fun for children but suit the parents style and taste as well. As you can see placemats have been experimented with to use the interactive idea to the designs advantage.
