Digital Methods: Culture Motif Assignment

In my Digital Methods class our assignment was to research our assigned cultural motif and create a color scheme and illustration based off of it that would be used as a T-Shirt design. My cultural motif was "Hellenistic Vase Paintings".

Above is the color scheme (left), the research and an example image of Hellenistic vase painting (middle), and the final illustration (right). Because the illustration had to be used as a T-Shirt design, I had to come up with a way to market "Hellenistic vase painting" with something popular enough to get someone to buy it. I chose to create a T-Shirt for the video game Soul Calibur because the game has several Greek inspired characters and takes place in a setting where Hellenistic art would have existed.
