Development

A huge focus of my project has been on scale, I wanted to produce large scale prints that when put into context look abstract and oversized. For example I think that the two cushions (seen below) are really effective in creating an abstract aesthetic. I like how one print design can create a number of different placement ideas.

Another stage of development was selecting the right colour palettes. Initially I hadn't planned to use more than one colour palette but after realising that it would broaden my portfolio and push my practice I decided to create 3 different collections each with a colour mood. 

It took some trial and error to find the right colour moods as I wanted colours that were sophisticated and told a story from one another.

Above shows the colour development of one of my designs, Initially I  liked the motifs but felt that the composition and colour wasn't working, I then developed the design and the colour but still didn't like the way the colour was spread so I decided to try this design in the two tone colour palette and invert the colours. I believe that this design is now fresh and lively.
