Adding Colour.

So I'm slowly starting to add colour to my patterns. I'm just using one colour as i don't want to make the images to complicated. I don't think that the colour is doing to much to the patterns and think that they look better left as black and white image's?

Trying Different shapes.

Applying my patterns to some unusual shapes. I feel that these dont work aswell as some of the others. They are beging to look a bit messy and also some are beging to look a bit normal.

Cropping and Repeating/Layering.

So basically trying to generate different patterns from the ones I have already made, by cropping, layering and repeating. Also I'm slowly trying to add colour.

Applying Patterns To Landmarks in London.

I applied my patterns to famous landmarks in London to see how they would look on an architectural shape.I then merged of them altogether to create a skyline of London.I think the one that works best is the zebra print patten, as i feel that the contrast between the white and black work well together.

Generating More Patterns

 Generating more patterns. Trying out different shapes to see if i could make them more harsher on the eye. I found that circle's worked the best as when you repeat the patterns and put them side by side, the small areas of white space make the images more confusing.

Developing Ideas.

Zebra 1

Zebra 2



Tiger

Giraffe

I liked the idea of trying to create optical illusions, So i  gave it a go and came up with the idea of using animal prints as they are designed to confuse or hide them from them bring hunted. I found images of animals heads and positioned and repeated them in such away that it is hard to see that their is an animals head in them.I like the out comes and am going to continue to make and develop these.

Adding Colour

These are from my tracings which i made from La Pedrera Rooftop photograph. I scanned them in to photoshop shop and started to add colour to them, as well as cropping, layering and changing the opacity. From these my favourite ones are the spiral ones.
