This wallpaper was largely inspired by classic Americana/Ivy League fashion. A lot of inspiration was drawn from vintage Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and modern American microbrand Arnold Steiner. Additionally, I found myself reminiscing my home city of Philadelphia and thinking about the colors of the crest of UPenn. This kind of preppy and classic colorway found its way into the three main colors of my wallpaper. I wanted create something that represented old traditional families and what better way to represent that in a simple and minimal but still classic crest.
You can see in the pictures displayed below some inspiration that I drew from:
Shield of the University of Pennsylvania
