As I was feeling very lost and not quite sure where my work was heading, I designed some more motifs to incorporate within my work. At my tutorial this week, I shared my feelings on my work and my frustration within the group and this made me feel a little better! A couple of people mentioned how they thought my development work reminded them of lace, especially the art nouveau styled elements. My tutor mentioned laser cutting and I really like the idea so I started to experiment with tracing paper to see how it would look.
I know this example is a bit rubbish, however it made me realise that I would like to have a go with laser cutting...I'm going to make a few enquiries!
Anyway...back to developing my motifs...whilst experimenting with my design on photoshop, I realised that instead of producing the same things: image with my motifs on top, why not create a interesting pattern with the actual image and also bring in my motifs? So that's what I started to do...
This is exactly the sort of thing I was wanting to produce; each design is different, however they feel like they're part of the same collection. The night-time theme comes through, bringing the motifs forward with the striking colours. I would say, this point is where I've started to fully enjoy the project and like the work I am producing; I can imagine my work on garments. With this drive I going to keep going!!
