Print Experimentations

Experimentations

 I was inspired by the Islamic decorative canon to create geometric patterns. I drew the pattern in pencil and scanned it into Photoshop. I made the pattern into a brush and used varying sizes and colours to create a layered effect. My target audience are young and outgoing. I decided to use bright vibrant colours to appeal to this audience. I am happy with the effect.

 I used the structure of the geometric pattern to draw a figure incorporating different symbols from the religions that I have researched. I named this drawing 'multi-faith robot of the future.' Using this idea, I decided to use a background from the internet of stars to suggest the futuristic element. I scanned my drawing into Photoshop and defined it as a brush which I used in various sizes against the starry background along with the Islamic print. I used lighter colours to stand out against the dark background. I think it would appeal to my target audience as it is quite original and different .

 More experimentations of using the pattern in different colours and layers of different colours to create a shadow effect. I think these create a bold and colourful image which would appeal to my target audience.

I drew this continuous line drawing of the baby Jesus from a statue using pencil and ink. I scanned it in Photoshop, defined it as a brush and used different sizes and colours to create different effects. I like that it is quite a traditional image brought up to date by using colour and layering. I think is has a graffiti style to it which would appeal to my young audience.

 In this image, I used the whole picture and filled in the spaces with bright colours, I don't think it works a well as when it is used as a brush.

 This is a drawing that I did in pencil of the lady chapel in the Anglican cathedral. I then sewed into it to create a stained glass effect. I scanned it into Photoshop and filled in the spaces in the glass with colours to add to the stained glass effect. I quite like it but its a little predictable

 I used a filter on this experimentation against a purple background to highlight the shape of the structure. I think that this gives a striking effect and would be good used as a background

 I layered the Jesus brush over the first image of the chapel over and over in bright colours to create a graffiti effect. I think that this a bold, cool image which would appeal to my target audience.

 This is another variation using the second image of the chapel and the Jesus brush in a bigger size. I like this as it shows more clearly the image of Jesus but still looks modern and original.

 This is a micrographic drawing in pen of Hasidic Jews dancing. I scanned it into Photoshop, defined it as a brush and used it to layer it different colours. I like the image as its quite fun light-hearted but it is not very clear.

 I used a picture of a disco setting from the internet as the background and used the brush over the top. I used the Jews in the disco idea in a light hearted way to appeal to my young playful target audience. I like the idea and the bight colours but the image of the dancers is not clear enough and looks a bit messy.
