Geometrical Print Development

After drawing from a selection of research and primary source objects I chose a few things to use as a screen print. Here are some of the negatives from the designs Ive selected.



The first drawing is of the mac keys from my research. I drew it twice in different formats and since I drew it in fine liner it showed through to the next page so I decided to trace it. Which is why some letters are backwards. The second image is a triangular print which fills some of the keys. The designs are done separately so that I can do a two colour way print.

This design was taken from a loose hand drawing of honeycomb. I filled in some of the blocks to add colour to the print rather than just line.

This is a primary source drawing of a keyboard. I drew one of the letters from the keyboard but kept it separate so that I had the choice whether or not to overlay it with the keys. Rather than narrowing down my choices.



Geometry

Choices of themes for the skills for making brief were subterranean, geometrical and folklore. I chose Geometry. To source inspiration for the final print design I looked on websites such as Pinterest (which I love - http://pinterest.com/adelleroe/ ) WGSN and style.com. As well as using periodicals like ShowDetails. These are some of the most inspiring images I found.

Although the final design is for a garment front I also researched other specialisms including ceramics, jewellery, fashion, furniture and illustrations. As a primary source drawing I used an  old typewriter as I thought the repetition of keys were interesting and contrasted to the modern mac keyboard.
