Experimenting with Adobe Illustrator.

Last week after creating a lot of designs sheets I started to scan my images in and change , add or repeat the image in Illustrator to create patterns i could use for wallpapers. During this following week I will be creating more designs , adding images to my Blog to show how the designs are developing.

Pop Art Inspired

For one of my design sheets I have painted and outlined a old 1960's T.V. Personally I like what I have done here and from this piece I can imagine it on wallpapers and fabrics, and  I like how it has a quirky style to the image.

Bruce Gray Inspired Sheet.

This week after Nick showed me some work by Bruce Gray , i was inspired to create a piece of art work like his but in my colour palette and to experiment by cutting pieces of paper out.

Mood Board in Studio

For my third year project im focusing on three collections , which are Geometric/Op Art , Flower Power and Vintage / Pop art 1960's. Below are images of parts of my mood board that are full of inspiration to help me start to draw from to gather ideas for designs for the samples i will start to be creating in hopefully three weeks time.

Geometric/Op Art Inspiration Board.

Vintage / Pop Art based on the 1960's Inspiration Board.

Flower Power Inspiration Board.

Orla Kiely

This week for my third year project I began to research Orla Kiely. I like the limited colour palette that she uses and the bold shapes she creates. Her prints have give me inspiration for my floral shapes for my flower power collection.

Inspired by Bridget Riley

The end of last week and this week i am focusing on geometric shapes taking inspiration from Op artist like Bridget Riley.
Here are two images of one design sheet.

 This image was taking half way through painting the design sheet.

Here is the final image. I have zoomed in on my camera so that you can see the fine lines alot clearer in the circles.

 

This week so far i have nearly complete another design sheet based on Op art . With this sheet , i am going to cut it out and create smaller versions in different colours based on my colour palette for my theme of geometric 1960's shapes.
