I've started to realise that I really needed more images to work from and with. Therefore with the mood I wanted to create, and the structure of the images in mind, I went out at night into Manchester city centre to take pictures. I was really pleased with the images I collected...
The colours captured in the photographs really portrayed the mood I was looking for. I took a range of images; some still shots and some incorporating movement. I definitely prefer the photographs that were either taken on the move or by moving my hand quickly. The lines created through the movement work really effectively and add more texture with the aspects of light captured.
I then started to use my motifs within the images. Some designs worked reasonably well, however I felt that most looked awkward and unpleasant. I think it's because I was trying so hard to produce designs like the previous one, so I started to feel lost within my work; I knew what I wanted my work to look like, but for some reason it wasn't working.
I felt that I was just producing the work for the sake of it; nothing good was coming from it so I took a step back and concentrated on more motif development.
