MOOD BOARD

This is my mood board i designed and made to inspire me for my final show. it has all the colours, shapes and patterns that has influenced my work in my final project. The colour palette i made up myself, i actually got the paints from BQ the hardware shop as there are about 1000 colours to chose from so i could get the exact colours i wanted. the colours all came from the indian wedding dresses on the mood board and the multi coloured roses.

Here is the picture of the roses larger so you can see in more detail the amount of different bold and bright colours there are

New Final Project

Everything message before this is from the 1st project in the third year building up to to my final major project. which is for my final show, the work from the last project can be used in this project to, so they can sort of be tied in together. the images just have to been developed and used in a different way. so basically that is what i have done, but also i have drawn and painted fresh images and also brought others themes into it which are birds and bold native. so the theme becomes much more tropical and has much more excitement and colour in it.

another printed example

this is another printed example from the sketches i have drawn......



this dress print was digitally printed... this is one of my largest pieces a the moment...after ths picture was taken i devoreed over the top and i am also going to foil over the top to make the print very unique and even embroider over that!

designs made for the sketchbook sketches

From some of the sketches I have  shown on my blog and a few more in my sketchbook, I designed some dress designs using  CAD and then print then using transfer and digital print. once my pieces had been printed i then used foil and i also devored on them. Here are a few examples of my work:


This piece was designed from my butterfly drawings and paintings on photoshop. I used transfer print on this piece. I have also used foil butterflies over the top of  this piece after this picture was taken.

bits from my sketchbook

this is a sketch from my sketchbook that i drew in pencil then fine liner over to top to make the image look really crisp and neat. this is one of my favourite images from this sketchbook. i drew this from a butterfly book i borrowed from the library, one i scanned this image in i used it in photoshop and ended up using it with foils over the top of transfer and digital prints i also made. i am going to upload images of the finished work later on today.

 this is another page out of the same sketchbook, i  used the same technique. i just sketched the image quickly in pencil then used fine liner over the top and for the detail to make it look really defined and neat.
from this image i developed the image in photoshop and designed commerical print that can be used for a number of different things such as, a cushion,gift wrap or even a dress print. 


this is the print i used from the poppy sketch aswell as two of my butterfly drawings.

A few more sketchbook pages
