Evaluation of Origins unit


I started off my project by diving head first into research in inspiration. The reason for this is because I feel it helps you figure out your taste and also artists work can help you influence what you do next. I’ve tried to check back with my research and also keep it as an on-going process whilst I do my own work, I have tried to use the research I’ve used but I’ve also tried to put my own spin on the designs and introduce the things that I have created myself.
                I tried to choose the pieces of work that I felt strongest about to take further and develop for example my print samples I have tried to layer them and combine them together to differentiate between my samples and give them a variation I also used my edited images of Photoshop because I felt that they are very rich in colour and catch your eye so I decided to work into it by sticking them on A2 sheets and then introducing paint and line drawings into it. Looking at designers and work that’s inspired me it helped me to choose backgrounds for my prints and helped me with a colour scheme, I think this influence was good because it helped me keep to my specific colour scheme so now looking at my work I feel you can clearly see I have chosen a specific colour scheme. Having said this, I have used artists as influence but also used what I though myself would add to my work and what I think would look good. I’ve also tried a variation by using already made backgrounds and also made my own.
           I’ve noticed that in this project I am very peculiar about keeping my work neat and organised I usually try keeping my work looking pretty and pleasing to the eye but during this project and also contextualising practise lectures and work I have been doing for that has made me think about how not being so perfect about my work could actually make it look better and thinking about other ways to approach my objectives such as surrealism.
