From a pattern on screen to a product you can hold — digital illustration is where every piece begins.
電繪是所有文創商品的起點。我喜歡用 Procreate 塗塗寫寫,它多變的筆刷讓我能快速嘗試各種風格和配色,找到自己喜歡的方向。2022 年底因為一個社服設計的機會,開始自己慢慢摸索 Adobe Illustrator,畫出了第一個民俗花卉圖案。除了社服,這些圖案後來還變成了系列作品:扇子、紙膠帶、緞帶、杯墊、識別證帶——電繪不只是畫畫,是整個文創產品線的源頭。
自己畫的玫瑰圖案做成和紙膠帶,再加工做成蝴蝶結髮飾和帆布袋裝飾。同一個圖案還印在陶瓷吸水杯墊上,變成可以實際使用的生活用品。最開心的是識別證帶——延續紙膠帶和杯墊的花朵圖案,做成掛在脖子上的寬版織帶,去醫院上班也能帶著自己設計的東西。從圖案設計、打版、到找工廠製作,整個流程都自己來的,很有成就感。
Digital illustration is the foundation of this entire product line. It started with Procreate — quick sketches, experimenting with brushes, testing colorways until a personal visual language emerged. A team apparel commission in late 2022 pushed the workflow further into Adobe Illustrator, producing the first folk-floral pattern that would define everything after it.
That single pattern library grew into a full range of stationery and accessories: washi tape, ribbon, fans, ceramic coasters, woven lanyards, and acrylic phone holders. The washi tape became the base material for handmade butterfly-bow hair clips and tote bag decorations. The same floral motifs were printed on absorbent ceramic coasters — functional everyday objects carrying original artwork.
The most personal piece is the lanyard: a wide woven strap featuring the same flower pattern from the tape and coasters, worn daily at the hospital. From pattern design through print-ready layout to sourcing manufacturers — the entire pipeline was self-directed.
