Product Development

After the crit, I went home and thought about other kitchen products I could finalise the set, looking at the NT and the type of customers who purchase from the NT shop, Aprons seemed the perfect product to add to the collection. This first apron works well but I feel the pattern is too structured for the apron, this design is far more suited towards the jars I developed earlier. The second apron works well, I wanted to experiment with a simplistic design as most of them are full and detailed, however it is a little too simplistic for what I was going for with the apron designs.

The third apron layout I choose to place from the tea towel design on the previous post, the inclusion of the NT symbol helps tie the two together, however if I do choose this I wont be able to use it on the tea towels, this pattern is definitely too detailed and noticeable to be used twice. The fourth apron, I wanted to experiment with using type instead of the NT symbol, this doesn't work as well at all, but I wanted to post it to shoe the opposite of using the symbol vs the type.

I have applied my favourite pattern design to the apron, to see which product it bests works on, doing this I have decided the design is much more successful on the tea towel than the apron, so I wont be using it for the apron. I really like this last apron, the random spread and layout of the trees works really well with the apron, I think this is because the apron shape is irregular, the mismatch positioning and size of the trees really works.
