Workshop 4 - Print for Fabric

RGB, CMYK and LAB.

CMYK

 

I decided to try repeat brick pattern again but with a more complicated composition and incorporating wallpaper colour trends for 2013.

 I decided to revert back to creating single illustrations and blocks of patterns with the transform tool as I don't think I was as successful with repeat patterns.

 I will work on this design concept by adding relevant colours from my colour palette selected from dyed cells.

Workshop 3 - Repeat Patterns

 

Brick repeat patterns with 3 motifs 

 From this workshop I decided to create more motifs and experiment with the free-transform tool. I can see this design working well on a shiny fabric, possibly as a print for a scarf or other fashion accessories.

This unfinished piece was inspired by Gabriel Moreno's Santa Teresa where I used the warp and skew tool on the hair.

Workshop 2 - Filters

 Colour fill and file size

 Auto-tone Filters

Workshop 1 - Creating Patterns

Using spots and stripe patterns and creating repeats from parts of scanned in images. Here I haven't thought about the merging of stripes and my sketch much, so I think that is why it doesn't quite visually work. However the repetition of the sketch is consistent because of the plain black and white theme.

Brief

GROWTH

I want to investigate the theme of growth, initially looking at the way natural forms grow and change. I will explore this theme through photography and observational drawing examining organic shape and line. From my research I will produce a range of hand drawings and samples which can then be translated into digital print, experimenting with repetition, scale and layering. To inform my work I will reference contemporary artists Mike Perry, Timorous Beasties and Dan Funderburgh.
