Drawn circles : colour palette experiments

experimenting with colour on drawn design

Oct 17th Further Ideas, public spaces project

Design with hand drawn glasses, scanned and converted to vectors. would be perfect for a bar or restaurant once put into repeat.

















Very simple pattern of hand drawn circles and intersecting lines, repeated. This pattern would be most effective if blown up to a much larger scale.

New Project

For my new project i am planning to create abstract, geometrical patterns aimed at the comercial market. For use in Public Spaces eg. Libraries, bars, restaurants, train stations, shopping centres.
This is challenging, as i have to create designs that would appeal to a wide variety of people. Though it is possible to design based on the place, a bar would have totally different patterns in its interiors than say, a library.
I've create a few very basic initial ideas:

New Necklace

Bought a new (old) silver necklace from a antique jewellery stall in Falmouth :)

My Visit to St.Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum

On Monday i visited St. Ives, Cornwall. Went round the Tate, and the Barbara Hepworth museum, which i enjoyed more than i had expected, i do like that sort of sculpture, and the garden was beautiful. when i went it was a really sunny day, so the whole place looked amazing.

Some Views of St.Ives itself:

Trends Research Project

Over the summer i was set a project to research the current trends in Interior Design, with a lean towards textiles. These are a few pages from the resulting sketch book. I was really annoyed because after all the effort i put in, ordering walpaper samples and buying waste fabric, the tutors didn't even want to look at it :(

The main trends i identified were 'Big Blooms', 'Retro/Vintage', 'Folk Style', 'Natural Materials', Country House Glamour', and 'Eastern Glam' Neutral colours are also very popular at the moment, the favorite being grey, which can be very contemporary when combined with brightly coloured accessories
