The Tailor's Shop

Created for the Course Creative Coding

​

In Creative Coding, our final coding project was completely free reign, but the program had to include loops, variables, user input, logic structures (if/else), functions, an array, and objects. 

​

In my free time, I'm an absolute nerd for fashion history and textiles, so I decided to create an educational video game about fashion history. The core concept of the game was a tailor's shop that users could explore to make garments throughout history. Users would select a method of sewing, a fabric, and learn about an object made with these materials.

​

However, this project didn't just test my coding knowledge. Creative direction was necessary to choosing typography, color scheme, and art style. In order to give the game a retro feel, I decided to utilize pixel art and the fonts Leckerli One and Thin Pixel-7.

 

In order to populate the game with information, I did extensive research on fashion history. It was important that the video game celebrated garments from a multitude of backgrounds and identities.
