Sweet Dreams are Mod of this

The Spoonflower design challenge this week was to create a Mod wallpaper. A design influenced by the modernist subculture of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. This was a limited palette of three colors with the option of using black or white as a fourth.

The first image that popped into my head when I read the challenge, was of Go-Go dancers in mini’s and white patent leather boots. Mod was often about bright, vivid, in-your-face color. Geometric patterns in black and white were popular as well. I wanted to design a large-scale print, and I wanted soft instead of garish.

This is what I came up with. I tried several color combinations, and in the end, I used just two shades of yellow, and the purple accent.

Here are two dress mock-up’s.

Peter Pan collar dress

: Sleek sheath dress
