Montage.

Inspired by Neasden control centre I have decided to try out doing some of my own montage compositions.

These designs could potentially be a start to my wall art/ mural/ wallpaper.

Professional Development

For my Professional Development module I have created quite a few different business cards.
Here are the fronts of some of them :

Contemporary wall art and murals.

I have been thinking a lot about my final major project and what I want all of my final products to be so I have come to the conclusion that at my show I would like to have :

3 helmets
3 painted leather jackets.
wall paper/ wall art/ wall murals
selection of small badges.
vinyl stickers.

I will probably change my mind at some point though!

Here are some contemporary wall murals that I am inspired by:

Black and White Illustrated Flowers Mural

Painted Leather.

I have decided that for my final major project I am not only going to be doing designs for helmets but I will also be painting designs onto leather jackets, fitting in with the grunge biker theme.

I am going to have to try very hard when painting as I haven't painted for a very long time as my preferred method of designing is drawing.

Here is a website of painted leather products that has inspired me and some images from this website below : http://www.paintedleatherjackets.com/

Monoprinting - Tracey Emin

I really like monoprinting, how a design instantly has texture once the ink has dried.

I have decided to try out some monoprinting as i want to create new textures for my designs

Here are some mono-prints by well know artist Tracey Emin.

Black and white designs.

Inspired by Miwa Matreyek I have created some designs that are black and white.

I have added a little blue bird to one of my "Tree head" designs and I quite like that little splash of colour however it also looks nice just black and white.

Colour Palette inspiration - Ford fiesta.

I saw the new Ford fiesta advert and was really inspired by all the beautiful vibrant colours on a background of black. I particularly liked the shades of purple and blue as they really stood out to me and I think this may influence my designs.
