Digital Project Summary

For the past 3 weeks I have been attending Steve’s workshops that have been teaching us how to use photoshop and illustrator. These lessons have been really helpful as I haven’t really used either of them before and I have learnt  a lot over the past 3 weeks that has been awesome as we had to come up with 5 digital floral designs using the techniques we have learnt, and I think I’ve come out with some really good designs for my first attempt on photoshop and illustrator.

The theme for the module was floral and life drawing, unfortunately I haven’t been able to make the life drawings due to personal reasons but I think I would have enjoyed the lessons if I was able to attend. As I knew it was a floral module before I went back to uni I decided to go out and take quite a few photos of some really beautiful flowers. Working with these images has been so much fun as I have created some lovely floral designs using some of them. I also used 3 drawings from term one of my botanical drawings because I was quite happy with them. I decided to go with quite a bright theme that is targeted at young woman who are very feminine, and I think the designs would be perfect for interior. I looked at different artist and designers such as Laura Ashley also I have looked at a lot of botanical designs and drawings. Steve told us about a few websites that would really help with research such as Bowie Styles.

I am quite happy with my final 5 designs they have turned out better than I thought they would. I used the images I had taken and the drawings I produced in the first term to create my designs. I do with that maybe I used illustrator at least for one of my designs but I got on a lot better with photoshop and wanted to produce the best I could so thought it would be better to stick with photoshop.

These are my 5 finals designs. Hope you like……
