A visit to the replay warehouse to see the space where the illustration will be made. the wall is quite spacious, that gives an idea of the size of illustration to do
Replay
Diesel
Levi’s
The main competitor to replay can be said to be diesel, they have a strong and edgy feel, their image is striking and eye catching.
Looking at replay’s existing merchandise, how they display their clothes in the shop. looking at the display, one can tell they are into the wood style of design.
Levi’s can be a good competitor of Replay, They have a more clearer image that can be noticed from afar.
Next
G-Star Raw
Lee
Gap
A visit to NEXT store to see how their merchandising is done, it is quit interesting to know that most of the high street stores have a similar way of merchandising
Looking at merchandising in most high street stores, thay all seem to be similar, but wall design differ, some go for painted walls, illusstrations or wooden walls to a natural feel to it.
I also looked at G-Star Raw and Lee, G-Star a similar feel as diesel’s old design, lee had a unique and an eye catching graphic kind of feel.

LINES, SHAPES, COLOURS AND PATTERNS
this is a concept of using the chosen colours, shapes and lines to create interesting patterns for the illustration, the idea is influenced by art on wall papers, etc. its kept simple in oder for the design not to take all attention from what replay is selling
NATURE
this is a concept which came up during a survey i carried about replay, most people related replay to music, this is an idea that will be explored further. it could have a relationship wtih the brand.

My final idea from the theme of music, the idea that Replay reminds a lot of people of music. this idea came about as a result of a seyvay that i conducted during my research.
Some rough ideas of how my illustration will look like, these ideas are gathered from different themes.
