17.05.14 - Application

Hello again,

Had a brainwave after speaking to friends about showing my designs in working order and thought i would photoshop my work into images of interiors i've found online.
Its shoddy, but you get the point!

Update Soon!

17.05.14 - Final Stages

Hello again.

Im in my final stages of putting together my portfolio, and with wanting it to have the feel of a swatch book i'm trying to bring a collection of images that work well together (also i just cant help myself but keep making new designs)

heres a few of them.

13.05.14 - Getting Close.

So today we had our final group crit of the year today. It was mostly a round up and collected gathering of thoughts of where the final outcomes were coming to. Since for this last experimental project, i haven't got one, main image that needs to be painted or put together, things are quite calm compared to the deadline for the D&AD brief, its like i had my fill of crazy stress back in March.
Ive been containing putting together my portfolio, planning page (which is really bluddy hard since i have such bright, loud colour combinations going on)

We also spoke about the exhibition and how things might be displayed. We spoke a lot about application of the designs, showing clients and buyers, just how the patterns could be used for artwork, packaging, and decoration.

Im coming more and more to the idea of having tote bags for sale at the exhibition, picking one main image to go forward with and mass printing them on canvas tote bags and having one on display in the exhibition, but I'm still thinking things through, i might go completely the other way and have fabric swatches on show instead. Who knows, I'm taking it all as it comes AFTER assessment hand-in.

Heres an update photo on the printed work up to date.
Enjoy!
Update Soon!

10.05.14 - Further Mix of Line Work

Hello Again

So for some reason unknown to me the colours have come out HIDEOUS when uploading them, and all dark and sludgey.

So the plan for today was to tackle more experiments of clashing line work, i wanted to morph together the thicker and thinner line work.
I'm still taking heavy inspiration for colour from the flora/fauna images i've collected but i'm just enjoying expanding the image making to also consider line and shape with a bit more thought process and care when decision making.

Im going to sit on the images for 24 hours and then decide which ones i prefer and want to consider taking further for portfolio or anything else i could progress with.

Update Soon.

09.05.14 - Line Work Tests

Hello Again.
So as i've been locked deep in my research folders and self evaluations there hasn't been much in the way of creative time, so i thought i would burst out one more round of drawings taken from all this new research i've been looking into.
Recently i've been wanting to play with different line work, these are some experiments into a different brush head then i'm used to for thinner line work.
I'll keep you updated on how it goes with the next batch.
Update Soon.
