Photoshop- Fashion

This brief was to use designs from our very first 'bloom' module to create a women's  fashion piece.  I struggled to find images that I liked so decided to make my pieces abstract.

This is a rose which I have done an linear design then mirrored.  I think the flashes of colour really add to this piece.

 Using the 'pen tool' I placed my design onto the model.  I really like how effective and real life this looks!!

 This is a linear leaf I have mirrored; which I have then placed onto a background that was created using brusho.  That I scanned into Photoshop.

This is my favourite deign.  The colours work really well together to give a vibrant outfit!

This is my favourite piece for this collection.  Even though it is a busy piece it is also very suitable for any home.  I think this could be updated for future trends by simple changing the colour scheme.

Acorns! Acorns!

This is one of my complimentary pieces for the woodland silhouette.   I used the brush preset tool to randomly place my motif in a variety of sizes and placed it into a seamless repeat.  I really like how subtle this print is and gives a hints to the longest day trend.

Here is my first wallpaper design!  I have used my deer and rabbit motifs from my development and placed them onto photo shop which I have then enhanced them by adding colour! I really like the graphic acorns.  In a recent presentation to wallpaper designer Kate Usher her only criticism was that my rabbit needed eyes!... least I know for next time!! 

Development

I have been busy developing my initial drawings by stylising them over the last couple of weeks!

Drawings

I have been working on more drawings over Easter so I can start developing them when I start back at Uni.

A tonal drawing of a squirrel with an fine liner drawing of an acorn.

Fineliner illustration of a deer.

Colour acetate buttercup.

Underneath is a tonal drawing of the buttercup.

Tonal drawing of a hare, thought this would be a little bit different from the normal rabbit prints that are all over the high street at the moment.

A fine liner drawing of an hedgehog with a watercolour flower.

Acorns which have been coloured with colouring pencils and tonal pencil.

Coloured tonal drawing of a rabbit.

A dandelion fine liner drawing, I think this will make a really simple but effective pattern repeat.

Ladybird coloured with markers.

This is a daisy which the outline is with stick and ink on tracing paper, cut out and layered on top of acrylic petals and markers used on the centre.
