Lead Designer; Project Duration: 2 months; cross-functional collaboration: Digital Arts faculty and Machine Fabric Print staffs
-
“SYMT” stands for the geometry term “symmetry.”
-
“SYMT” is a sustainability thinking developed as backbone for the project. “FTW_SYMT_shadow” project aims to create contrast with original edition by applying generative pattern design upon the fabric.
-
While FTW_SYMT as the original thinking process utilized plain linen to construct the shoe upper, “FTW_SYMT_shadow” focus on exploring the vibrant yet abstract pattern for the upper surface. The collective frames generated from the p5.js environment, a creative coding medium, are placed in array and thus become one large single piece of image printed on the fabric.
