TALY: A Junior Illustration Project by Nicky Krammer (2020)

I decided to create a hoodie which where I wanted to spread awareness to people of mental illness through fashionable wear. People in this world need to be reminded that it’s good to spread love to others, but it’s also essential to give yourself love. This means doing what you makes you happy, for example, your hobbies, the people who you make delighted, or treating yourself. The symbol in front of my design is a Japanese character, which means “Love,” I decided to put this on my hoodie because I’m half Japanese, and I wanted to show my cultural roots on my design, but also to make my design unique from the rest. The meaning of “TALY” means a lot to me, and the acronym means “To Always Love Yourself,” I believe this important to me, but also other people as loving yourself is essential and healthy. One of the things I showed this by showing a heart symbol to remind yourself to love yourself. The reason I have a spray can on my hoodie is because I’ve started to become interested in their works and hope to one day to try this kind of art in a legal sense.

I valued how to become more creative with how I was going to this design. I became more skilled in my pen and brush tool being better when it comes to tracing more detailed objects. Lastly, it taught me to go out more with artist can of view of where I want to get a career because now I’m becoming more interested in creating art designs for fashion clothing. Related website
