I tried to use my hand stitch motifs inside digital. I want to express texture looks like silk.
Please give me any comments.

My final digital design. I used 'dark multiply' for one of the layers, and then I used the same colour ground with a pomegranate silhouette, blocked out.

Leaf design which has been repeated what are your thoughts on this design? I am going to finish off the design as my design hasn't got the ends of a couple of the leafs. Not sure why the design looks a bit fuzzy on here.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another one of my digitals, I tried to use more shapes and different scales with this one so my designs weren't repetitive.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of my digitals that I did, this is with one of my main motifs, I tried to keep this one quite basic and only using a few colours. Any thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed working on this piece however I feel like there’s a lot going on, would it possibly work better if I’d used different colours ?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the colours of this however what could I do to improve it?

One of my screen prints that involves one of my motifs, texture and a template - but the template has not printed properly the second time around. Any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? It was a paper template I used.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a digital design that includes one of my motifs,  my texture and a possible template idea. Ideas on if this would work as a print, or is it too busy?

Louise Korner is one of my favourite womenswear designers working with digital print. I think her designs are really elegant and contemporary. I love her bold statement prints, and I think her work has a lovely fluidity to it.

# data[].attributes.body
For this design I have used the same motif in a repetitive pattern, I like the colours together but I feel like it is possibly lacking something, I'm not sure if using one of my other colours to create a contrast or adding texture might add to it.What do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
This is another of my prints, I have used a subtle circle motif throughout the placement of the leaves, do you think this is to much, is the print too busy?

# data[].attributes.body
This print combines my two motifs in a random arrangement, I didn't think a uniformed arrangement would really work with the motifs? should I give it a go? The background of this print is light grey but I think it looks a bit too white, should I change it up to a pastel yellow or darken the grey?

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favourite digital designers at the moment is Eugene Seguy. His designs are very eye catching because of the bright and vibrant colour palette used. I also like how he incorporates block shapes and colours with layering of linear lines to include detail.

# data[].attributes.body
Akira Minagawa is one of my favourite designer. I like his handwriting design style and how to develop idea. At first, he draw dandelion fluff and it was changing to tiny people.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favourite designers. I love the work he does with florals and the beautiful creations he makes.

# data[].attributes.body
For this design I used the same motifs as my previous design but added more and played around with the background rather than having just one solid colour. I'm worried this design might have too much going on, any thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
I've chosen these 3 colours from my colour pallet as I feel the grey contrasts well with the bright orange and pink. However, I feel the orange lines could be thickened to make them stand out better against the dark background, any thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
This is my favourite digital piece I have done, I like the colours and the placements of the flowers. How could I improve it?

# data[].attributes.body
One designer I am inspired by is Paula Maso. She is a print and pattern designer, she puts her designs onto clothing. Her prints are fun, colourful and vary in shapes and sizes. She travels and takes photos for inspiration. I love her background textures and minimalist shapes. I definitely need to add texture to my own designs so they aren’t as flat.

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite digital designer at the moment would be Kristi O’meara. I’ve chosen this piece in particular as I love how the vibrant colours compliment each other and the use of the bold black outline which draws attention to the different shapes in the design.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece is a work in progress, I tried to use three motifs to create one shape. However I’m still trying to make it work. Do you think this could lead to an interesting pattern?

# data[].attributes.body
In this one I used one motif, repeated it in vertical lines then layered the motif inverted. At first I had the background in green which is my fifth colour but I liked the contrast in this one more.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea behind this design was experimenting with the use of layering to create depth to my print. I used 4/5 of my colour palette and like the contrast created between my light and dark tones.

# data[].attributes.body
When I drew the motif for this one I made it diamond shaped so it fits seamlessly when I repeated it. I’m not sure if it works or not but I feel like it’s too much for a pattern so I included half only black and white and half with the other colours, which one do you think is better and should I try different sizes maybe?

# data[].attributes.body
Using Opacity and Repeat - I tested different scales to create a layered depth. Do you think I should explore using smaller scales? Or combine large and small scales together? Also any opinions on the two toned colour palette? I tried this design with more colours but felt like it became too chaotic!

# data[].attributes.body
Using Opacity and Layering - I tested different gradients to create new depths between the Triangles. Are there any other techniques/ways I should experiment with using the geometric shapes? I would like to further develop the use of triangles -  Maybe by using texture within the triangles?

# data[].attributes.body
One of my inspirations for this project that uses Digital print would be Rodarte. The concept of layering creates the texture of wood surfaces - combined with the tonal colour placement (light, medium, dark) allows the pattern to be exposed/hidden. The theme of organic textures within geometric shapes has influenced my mood board.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that this repeat pattern works well with my motif and the introduction of new/other shapes, but i have not repeated the shapes in the background so it is an identical repeat, i find that this creates another dimension, do you agree?

# data[].attributes.body
I really like her work, she has so many different designs, but they all fit within her style. I also really like her floral motifs, and use of repeat pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
I used 4/5 colours from my colour scheme, I wasn't sure of how they would all fit together but now have a better idea of colour proportions. My 5th colour is black. do you think by using 4 colours in one design overcomplicates it or is it just the linear complexity that is a bit too overpowering?

# data[].attributes.body
I like how my motifs fit together but could maybe change the colour on each row of motifs for a more complex design.

# data[].attributes.body
I quite like this design, but the pattern looks a bit messy, should  I make it neater?

# data[].attributes.body
This background colour does not match the pattern I designed, should I change the background colour?

# data[].attributes.body
Here I experimented with gradience and increasing the size of my motif. Maybe this would be more effective if my motif was a little bigger, what do you think??

# data[].attributes.body
This is a repeat of the shape I made, I like the effect different scales have on it. What do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
My second design I based upon 1950's prints (Lucianne Day) I feel the colours work well but I also have a acid yellow in my colour palette which I think I will try.
whats your thoughts on the motif arrangement?

# data[].attributes.body
I quite like this design but i'm not too sure if i should make the pattern bigger or place a motif over the top? or if it's good as it is?

# data[].attributes.body
Im fairly pleased with this design, I wanted to turn my very organic theme (tree lichen) into something more contemporary and graphic.
What do you think? :)

# data[].attributes.body
Here i have used my motifs.
I think the colours work well together but what about scale? It doesn't feel finished? Any thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
Here i have played with the gradient tool. I like the colours but do i need to make them brighter to fit more with my prints? What do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
I have scanned in a drawing and used this for a print. I like the colours, does the composition work? or should I have more all over pattern?

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite digital printer is Manish Arora, I have always admired his colour palettes he produces alongside his fascinating shapes and detailed imagery

# data[].attributes.body
I am pleased with the shapes in this digital print although I am unsure the composition is too large and would look better downsizing the motifs. Furthermore, I am undecided if these illustrations are too similar to placed so close together?

# data[].attributes.body
I have explored my motif as a repeat pattern in the background applying another sketchbook drawing overlaying the top. I am not sure if both motifs are too similar and clash at all, has anybody any advice? I'm also considering adding a texture to the pink hue rather than just a block colour?

# data[].attributes.body
I have explored all of my colour palette in this design using the gradient tool. Wondering what people think about the contrast of coloured motif against the background? Does it work well or is there something else I could try out instead?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the complexity of the design, just wondering if there's anything else I could add to it to make it more exciting? Thoughts on colour and motif used?

# data[].attributes.body
I made this design in my screen printing, however I didn't use any texture, which made the yellow stand out, by adding texture which leaf motif stands out best to you?

# data[].attributes.body
Played around with scale a bit more, what other shapes/ textures could I use?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm pleased with the simplistic design and the colours. Should I play around more with scale and add a textured background?

# data[].attributes.body
While not strictly a print oriented designer, Van Beirendonck uses print to create bold and bright statement pieces. I love his larger-than-life designs and the marrying of innocent and mature themes together within his motifs and

# data[].attributes.body
I like the motif, but everything else is very flat and boring. I'm unsure of the direction to go when continuing with this piece. Maybe I could switch the colours around? Or add texture to the background? What do you guys think?

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favorite designers who works with digital print is Alexander McQueen. In his final collection- Platos Atlanis- he digitally printed a variety of reptiley, aquatic surfaces and textures onto his fabric which created an ethereal eye-catching design.

# data[].attributes.body
I am quite fond of this design, however i'm not sure about the scale. should I use it as a repeat print or as a large motif?

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to irregular pattern and use my all motifs. I think these Chinese lantern plants are little bit small....?
Is that work?

# data[].attributes.body
I love Basso and Brooke's outlandish prints the scale is so large and there combinations are so busy and exciting.This outfit is from their A/W12 collection.

# data[].attributes.body
For this design I wanted to capture some of the layered elements of mushrooms and the circle patterns that sometimes come from them. While I like the 'trippy' feel of the design, I wanted to know what I could take away or add as it doesn't seem complete quite yet. Any thought?

# data[].attributes.headline
For this digital design I explored gradients and adding this within shapes to fit my underwater theme. Do you think my use of gradients and layering works well together or are the circular shapes too dominant in the piece

I love Kristi O'Meara's work at the moment! The use of composition and overlapping motifs makes her designs come to life. She also features texture in her work which I can relate to my own designs.

# data[].attributes.body
This mirrored design felt very tribal to me, I took sections from. my prints to create this design, I have used text in some of my designs so far, is this something people think is working or would I be better to focus on the motifs more like I did within my screen-prints?

# data[].attributes.body
while I do like this design it seems a bit flat, any suggestions on how could introduce a 3D element or interesting texture?

# data[].attributes.body
My whole project is based around my summer camping in Colorado. My style is often very graphic and less pattern based, so with this eggs and bacon design I was wondering whether the background could be softer or maybe the motif repeated more times on a smaller scale to make it feel more like a pattern /repeat?

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favourite digital designers at the moment is Kitty McCall. Her designs are so bright and vivid that they catch your eye just with the clever use of block colour and shape, the most basic form of design.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of my earlier digital designs where i was playing around with gradients across the surface mixed with colour blocking.
To soften the design I added the upscale line drawings across the design - Is this to much? Should I try changing the scale of the design?

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite Designer that uses digital methods within her work at the moment is Zoe Wodarz. Her website and Instagram are always alive with colour and fun sketchy, fun patterns . She has a great eye for infill of texture and shape and uses motifs in different ways! Would definitely check her work out :)

# data[].attributes.body
This design focuses mainly on my floral theme mixed with the use of bold shape and colour
I have pasted a more basic digital design into the circles so it has been cropped - does this work well?
I've kept to quite a tonal colour palette with the yellow being the main pop of colour - Are there too many colours? Should I make it brighter?

My favourite designer is Jonathon Saunders because of the range of colours he uses in his work also the repeated designs. I love the use of colour that he has used in this silk scarf design. It makes the scarf stand out when someone is wearing this scarf. It is a nice composition as well.

My leaf design digital print. What are your thoughts on this? I think that the leaf design should be a different colour in my colour palette to stand out. What are anyone's opinions to improve/ make the design stand out more? What do you think about the size of the leaf design as well?

My favourite designer is Atelier Bingo. He works with photoshop and hand printed screen prints. I love the illustrative style, mark making/texture he uses and the bright fresh colours.

For this design, I filled one of my motifs with my texture, and repeated it into a stripe pattern. Is it too busy? Do you think they should be spaced further apart? Any suggestions welcome.

Here is one of my repeat patterns, taken from a drawing of some mushrooms I did in my sketchbook. I edited the colours to match my colour palette, and then repeated it to make this pattern. Do you think it's too simple? Thinking about playing around with scale/flipping the image/doing something with the background. What are your thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented with my drawings, texture and background colour when creating this mirrored pattern on Photoshop. Do you think it's too busy with different elements or if there's anything I could add or take away to improve it???

This is my print that is inspired from a section on a butterfly wing. I used the gradient colour technique in certain areas and overlapped sections to create an dimensional feel.
