Architectural Details

Earlier this year I produced a number of drawings based on close ups of ornate architecture found on beautiful Parisian buildings. I have decided to experiment with some design layouts and colourways, either to print as samples for my final portfolio, or to be developed into a large scale print to feature in my degree show. I think the simple half drop design below would be effective large scale on fabric.

Conversational Print

I have re-worked a previous print by adding further imagery and amending my colour palette. I now feel this design is successful, and have printed it onto a long length of fabric to form part of my degree show.

Geometric Prints

The prints below have been developed from drawings of high rise buildings. The bottom print is more organised in terms of the placement of each individual shape, so does not look as random as previous repeats developed using this imagery. The image immediately below is a very small section of the repeat that has been increased in scale. I think the colours are effective here and plan to continue using this palette in future prints.

Further Drawing

I have drawn a number of architectural details similar to the example below and intend to work them into a repeat. I envisage the final design to be suitable for wallpaper or furnishing fabric. The drawing below is very similar to some produced before christmas, but I have re worked them with a less harsh colour palette and added more colour fills.
