Patten making


Original's



The 3rd task.I was given a sheet of 3 different pattens to work from. I had to creat a patten tile from these's so that they could all be interlinked. This task was very challangeing as it was hard to creat a patten that interlinked with one another without it being a square. I then scanned these in to photoshop and repeated it over and over again to produce these pattens.


I then chose one of the pattens that I had found and turned it into a positive and a nagative image, and layer it.

I was given a photograph of La Pedrera Rooftop architecture to work from. I had to trace different pattens that I could see from that one image.




Ditti Press's 12 Swatches.




These are the 12 colours we have to work from.

The Ditto Press Brief

Ditto Press is a printing/publishing company based in London. We are looking for a new publication that shows off the capabilities of our printer in an innovative and intersting way. The final product will need to reflect our aesthetic and make full use of our machines potential.

We are looking to produce a small publication that addresses a range of issues:
  • The way the ink sits on the papers
  • Legibility
  • overlapping different colours
  • Different photographic rasterisation effects
  • Gradient effects
  • Anything else you can think of
the final product will carry a selection of test prints designed by a range of students. Each student is required to submit a novel idea for binding the publication, which we expect to be beween 5 and 10 test prints.

Message: Help others

I done some research on different ways in in which you could or can help someone or thing some of the things i  came up with was:Volunteering, Donating, Helping animal shelters, Honor the heros ect..I then went on to looking at existing images and posters.
Above are just a few posters i found. From these poster i can get an idea of they style i could use or the colours i could use, there is a lot of use of the colour red. and also i can see where they postion the text.

Target Audience: Inner city 15-20year olds

Inner city 15-20 year olds, I automatically Thourght of the sterotypicall Inner City Gangs and gang culture, hoodies, Graffiti, shanks and asbo’s as this is normally the case when it comes to inner city kids.In the UnitedKingdom, Irland, the United States and Canada all interprite the word Inner City as poorer parts of the city an area that is a ghetto or slum, where more crime is commited, the people that live their are less educated and are in poverity.
A map of London the red parts are classed as the inner city, these are the boroughs where I would display my work, places like council estates as this is the most common place to find 16-20 year olds hanging around.

In 12 years the crime has fallen whilst 15 year olds have been in school, but once they have left school the crime rate has risen.This shows that when they have no guidence from school they start to comite more crimes.


Research: cultural organisation

Cultural organisations are a variety of different things, from the Tate, Youth clubs, museums and charities to The Princes trust. They are non-for-profit corporations which means they do not distribute any profit to owners or shareholders, but use profits to help pursue their goals. They are engaging and interact with their audience. Their aims are to help people; educate and donate etc. When looking through website’s, I found that they where all interactive, a lot of them also had moving graphics which made the website visually interesting. http://antenna.sciencemuseum.org.uk/
I gathered images from cultural organisation and put them all together and pixelated them so i could see what colours are being used. from the image above you can see that there are reds, blues, blacks and whites being used.
Their logos are manily square or round shaped. and also consist of the same colours.
