Using the Screen printing, as well as the Block printing technique to show various abstract shapes/sections of the Royal Exchange; through a variety of vivid, bold colours. In addition to taking smaller sections of the pillar heads of The Royal Exchange, i used the textures that i noticed to form various interpretations and designs on a range of cotton blends/polyester; e.g, calico, satin (matt/shiny) and more. My printing designs have also been linked with various designers/fashion garments.
Using the Stencilling technique for Heat Transfers, to show various abstract shapes/outcomes of the Royal Exchange (with inspiration from the well-established Greek pillars); through a variety of vivid, bold colours. In addition to creating some quick test strips of transfer fabric dyes, (for evaluating and exploring the range of colours I could use within my prints, and see which colours compliment/oppose each other). My printing designs have also been linked with various designers/fashion gar
ARCHITECTURE
PRINTS
I have completed a research project, into the world of: London Architecture', as part of my fashion course. On this course i discovered many new ways to draw and sketch/design, and overall a whole new way of thinking.
I found where my weaknesses lied and learnt on how to improve them through this project, so it was a significant one.
I was very impressed at the outcomes i had produced on various fabrics, as i had struggled throughout this project. Because these techniques were something very brand new to me and the Screen printing was a first time on this occasion.
The marvellous marbled effect I received through the green/blue/pink (with white) printing inks mixing, and creating subtle tones during the screen printing process, (see photo on above left; middle row of outcomes); with each other gave the prefect marbled effect of contrasting colours, which i found very successful, and truly aesthetic. As well as being the most successful, It was also the most enjoyable to create!
