I visited the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen and took pictures of the exotic plants. I then took these photos in to photoshop and edited and overlayed them to inspire my print and pattern designs.

Hand Rendered Prints
Here I drew two circles with a vertical line going through them. I then joined the the circles together by drawing to semi-circles to create a continous effect. I drew straight lines inside the two full circles to create some depth to the pattern.
Here I used a base shape of a circle and then drew wavering lines inside taking inspiration from the patterns on the leaves.
For this print I drew straight lines and then coloured a few sections of the pattern in to create a symmetricl geometric pattern.

I have taken an image of leaf and used the quick selection tool to delete parts of the image. I then overlayed the image multiple times and lowered the saturation and opacity to create this pattern.
I used an image from the botanical gardens and adjusted the contrast of the image. I then used curves to create this dark pattern.
I took one of images from the botanical gardens and I have made the image black and white. I then altered the opacity and changed the levels of the image to create this pattern.

This is a hand rendered print. I took inspiration from the Russian Constructivism movement and created this print for my collection using a series of lines and different fills.
