Here I’ve completed my final Zine with a similar approach to my mock-up, only I’ve used different coloured paper which I’ve found to have better quality comparing to the mock-up. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome so far and I found this project very enjoyable.
Here I had just designed a rough Mock-up of my zine as I just wanted to test print a few of my designs before placing them into my final Zine book.
These are a series of mixed media experimental studies of Typographic words, letters, numbers and symbols. In some experimental pieces I have incorporated several media’s including: watercolour, pen, marker, coloured paper, photocopies etc.
I’ve also included any digital work that I created on figma as well as other mixed media pieces. I’d decided to work with what materials I had and make good use out of them, which created nice collages inspired by my first hand images.
Here I’ve created sixteen experimental pieces based on my chosen theme which is Belfast. I had combined my sketchbook typography pieces and my first hand images of the historical, architectural buildings and structures around Belfast. I had experimented with various tools and effects, by using Adobe Illustrator.
My next stage is to create a hand made zine booklet, which I will then print out these experimental pieces and combine them into this zine.
These are a series of embroidery and stitch samples, experimenting with different stitches and colours.
These patterns are influenced by my paintings and collages and using a variety of stitches including: runnings stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, cross stitches, blanket stitches etc.
I’ve also incorporated other fabrics such as recycled denim, t- shirts, paper, felt and watercolour dyed fabric. I had a lot of enjoyment experimenting with fabrics and I like how they create a nice texture.
For this project my chosen words are based on 1950’s and citrus. For my colour scheme I’ll be using colours that relate to the theme including: orange, yellow, green and blue.
Here I’ve created a series of pattern ideas using a variety of media’s including: watercolour, pen, thread, paper collage, and embroidery.
I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with these materials and combining them together to create abstract pieces. Personally, I find that either embroidering or overlapping another piece of artwork really makes it interesting.
These are just a few experimental embroidery pieces which I’ve incorporated ideas from my mood board. I’ve included a variety of stitches creating different patterns and textures.
These are a series of timed sketches based on a mannequin that involves different types of materials. I’ve also looked at creating drawings based on the fabric itself, where I’ve roughly sketched the outline and created my own pattern/design.
