Diseño de tramas y paletas cromáticas para la fabricación de Wallkas a través del trabajo colaborativo, para su comercialización en el mercado Cuencano

Abstract

This capstone project focuses on the design of 10 pattern systems and the proporsal of 10 color palettes for the production of wallkas, through the analysis and exploration of the graphic systems applied in textiles traditionally used by the Saraguro community, based on this exploration and experimatation, and by employing the basic concepts of graphic design, the project seeks to generate new pattern systems for their subsequent application in wallkas, with aim of proposing a new and distinctive aesthetic for the Cuenca market. The methodology applied in this project follows the textual/contextual approach proposed by Jordi Llovet. The model developed by the author allows for the use of diverse processes trough which information will be obtained from interviews with local references in craftsmanship and design, as well as the collection of valuable visual data that will inform the crucial development stage of this project. As a result, 10 digital prototypes of wallkas were produced, each incorporating one of the 10 pattern systems created, along with the corresponding color palettes proposed for each design.
