Mockups

Tropical Paradise is a vibrant, hand-crafted pattern inspired by Hawaiian and tiki culture, featuring hibiscus flowers, monstera leaves, surfboards, and parrots perched on tiki torches. The design process began with hand-drawn sketches, allowing me to refine the organic shapes and composition before bringing them into Adobe Illustrator. Once digitized, I used the Pen Tool and Shape Builder Tool to create clean, vector-based illustrations, carefully selecting warm, tropical hues to enhance the island-inspired aesthetic. Using Illustrator’s Pattern Tool, I arranged the elements into a seamless, repeating pattern, adjusting spacing and orientation for visual balance. To bring the design to life, I applied it to mockups, such as fabric textures, to showcase its versatility for applications in fashion, home decor, and branding. This project blends hand-drawn artistry with digital precision, capturing the essence of a tropical escape.
