Finally got to grips with creating an offset repeat on Photoshop. This monochrome repeat is a wallpaper length 52cm wide by 159cm long. The black deer silhouettes are striking against the busy mushroom background. Certainly one of my favourites so far, however for further development I might add a tartan in the deer silhouettes...
I have really enjoyed developing my ideas for wallpapers in the print rooms this week. For both of these colour ways I have painted the backgrounds with emulsion, used gold metallic binder for the birds silhouette and grey pigment for the birds features. The red background has proven to be thd most successful so I'll be developing that further. However, I also think this design could be used on gift products as well.
So, after being offered a work placement with Hallmark in May I now know gift is the area I'd like to work in and develop my skills further. However for now I'm doing an exciting interiors project where I'll be making a range of wallpaper designs.
This is my work bay so far with my whimsical research and drawing sheets...
So I'm getting ready for Hallmark visiting university on Monday. I've gone for bright retro colours and vintage cameras and Morris Minors perfect gift collections for men, especially dad!
