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.]]> 2017-11-12 15:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/205990489 16012511 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/205991408 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?]]> 2017-11-12 15:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/205991408 16012511 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/205992194 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!]]> 2017-11-12 15:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/205992194 17054481 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206005313 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.]]> 2017-11-12 17:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206005313 Danaai https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206025269 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? ]]> 2017-11-12 19:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206025269 Danaai https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206025771 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. ]]> 2017-11-12 19:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206025771 Danaai https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206026436 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?]]> 2017-11-12 19:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206026436 JojoBarkas https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206028061 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. ]]> 2017-11-12 20:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206028061 1705060 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206028625 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.]]> 2017-11-12 20:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206028625 JojoBarkas https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206032681 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? ]]> 2017-11-12 20:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206032681 JojoBarkas https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206033709 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? ]]> 2017-11-12 20:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206033709 1703638 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206061944 This is my favourite digital piece I have done, I like the colours and the placements of the flowers.

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. ]]> 2017-11-13 11:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206176559 1705210 https://padlet.com/caellis/Digital_design_discussion/wish/206328760 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?
