Project Title: Surreal World 🌀✨

Description: Hey everyone! Here is my submission for the Recraft Challenge — a poster series called "Surreal World"! 🎨

For this project, I dove deep into the Public Domain Image Archive and gathered vintage 18th and 19th-century illustrations from various talented artists of that era — think old-school book engravings, scientific botanical plates, and classical etchings.

I wanted to give these historical artworks a fresh, weird, and fun twist by mixing them with modern surrealism, bold colors, and psychedelic vibes. With Recraft, I blended classic cross-hatching textures and aged paper looks with funky symbols, neon contrasts, and dreamlike patterns.

While browsing the Art Institute of Chicago arms and armor collection, I found objects that were once the most advanced protective design of their time. I wondered what these master armorers would create if they lived today, when what we protect most is not our bodies but our belongings on the road. Using these public domain references, I built a Recraft Style and launched AVENTAIL, a fictional luxury travel house named after the chainmail curtain that once guarded a knight’s neck. The collection includes engraved steel suitcases, a riveted carry-on with chainmail panels, a gilded backpack and an evening clutch, presented through a fashion campaign, a flagship store and city billboards.

This is how the store would look like 😊
