Weekend Work

Over the weekend I decided to develop the themes that I had collected in a collage as part of the scavenger hunt by using them as a basis for a fabric design. Here are some of the pages from my sketchbook (sorry for the really terrible picture quality)~

 My original collage. My general idea when making this was to find yellow things and interesting type, as well as anything else that interested me. I was carrying on with the theme of bananas that I had already been exploring. A lot of the images came from fashion magazines which gave me the idea of creating some patterns for use in a fashion context.

 My initial designs based on the collage.

 I arranged my images into a repeating pattern and experimented with different colour-ways and effects on Photoshop.

I then used some of my ideas on some clothing designs. I quite like how these have turned out because they are very bold, fun and vibrant.
