Rustic Dawn

Designing stationary, seeing a torch and watching a football match all in one day is not easy.  Somehow I’ve managed it, now it’s down to penalties.  I enjoyed designing the stationary; it was a brief from the e-course module 2 http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/pattern.  Not easy naming it though, what do you think?

Colour exercises

Experimenting with the colours on designs can make a big difference.  I think it can totally change the meaning with the design.  I was designing a scarf focusing on the theme of celebrating.  I think the colours work well but the different combinations give alterative impressions, I can’t decide which works best.

Designing from special events

There are many more designs and skills I have achieved from this Surface Pattern Design Course http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/pattern/.  It really has been amazing, I've gained a lot from the lessons but I have also gained a lot more ideas and inspiration from communicating with class mates  sharing designs, helping each other with comments, advise and suggestions.  I would recommend it to anyone looking into Pattern Designing.  I plan to add more of my designs from the course to this Blog eventually, but for now I thought it appropriate to include a pattern I designed this weekend.  The inspiration for this design has come from trip to Wembley Stadium yesterday supporting Huddersfield Town FC!

Inspiration from Surface Pattern Design class

I can't believe I am coming towards the end of The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design Course http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/pattern/.  There are so many designs around us that I had'nt seen.  The number of circles I have spotted.  Taking photos of every circle I see must look a bit suspicious!
