This collection I am happy with but there are a couple of designs I am still unsure on. I like the compositions but I think its the colour I am mainly having trouble on with this collection.
I am very happy with the majority of these composition ideas, some of them may need changing slightly in composition or colour but I am pleased with the results so far.
Heres where I got the idea to use jigsaw pieces. I already wanted to create patchwork and looking at Escher's work shows me how, although he used pencil, any irregular shape can be used or experimented with at least.
Milhazes uses a range of media in her work and I love her combinations of geometrics and florals and her compositions. Here's hoping my designs turn out as good as these.
After the review I had lots to do. Over the next few weeks my goal then was to play with all elements of research and combine aspects and think about composition. To do this I photocopied and changed the scale of all the different flowers I drew to begin with.
This is what happened.
These were to become the starting points to develop into possible collections.
Before the review I had done little research on jigsaw pieces. This was part of my floral section and this is what I came up with.

I selected stylised floral imagery at random and inputted simple geometric pattern to create this idea. I do like it but it definitely needs work if it is going to be used in a final collection.
