Vinyl Toy Research

I thought before we could begin designing for mine and Meryem's collaboration it would be important to do some initial research. I looked into what shapes where most popular within the vinyl toy community, and the vast difference between the models. I drew a variety of the shapes, scans of which can be found below.

I also thought it would be important to carry out some research into the different ways in which vinyl toy illustrations can be spread across a range of different mediums. I came across the book 'Jeremyville Sessions' and found it very useful for this area. Below are a few scans from the book that proved useful, most of the pages show the different forms of distribution, packaging layouts and fun playful imagery. This book will serve as a constant resource that I will continue to look back at and draw inspiration from.
