Track Final Portfolio Collection

Final Portfolio Collection Short Abstract
Track. A collection of patterns is inpired by vinyl discs. ... The Track collection is a statement, the patterns feature bold colour and subtle detailing. The Track collection turns head and forces a second glance. The vinyl motif can be of any colour or transparent but is always paired with similar colours to give the illusion of the motif morphing out of the background. The Track collection works heavily with layering and repetition.

Motif Sketches
Music Brainstorm Exploration of patterns found in items of music production. ... Focussing on lines and curves in particular, they are asethetically simple but conceptually beautiful - a line/curve is essentially a visualiation of a path from the starting point to the end point. Interpreting music as a subtle embodiment of time and linear journey - from the start to the end of a song.

Motif Description
Vinyl Consisting of 45 rings arranged in a concave uniform to create a simplified pattern of the inscribed, modulated spiral groove on vinyl records. ... Conceptually, it represents the power of subtly in the creation of music. Furthermore, the circle shape is representative of a cycle; infinite, which is a nod towards the process in how music is played of a record. It is the movement of the record-players pin in the groove spinning round and round.
Banner Gradient
Smart Gradient Inspired by Ana Montiel’s work, Colour Fields, this piece was created in Adobe Illustrator with blur brushes. This is a smart gradient meaning the piece changes when stretched. #ee0979 (pink). #ff6a00 (orange).

Banner Wall text
Groove Carved by needle, the spiral found on vinyl discs are created in such a way that when the record pin drops and follows, sound is created. Through this unique movement of the pin within the groove, the sound is then amplified by a horn or cone. Conceptually, this subtle groove holds all of the vinyl’s power to produce melody. At first all you hear is music, the realisation of the groove comes later. From afar it is swallowed by the bold, but upon closer look it’s present - mimicking the way a vinyl record is brought to life.

Media Art Nexus
Media Wall Nexus Artwork ‘Groove’ is rearranged to fit on a horizontal plane. The gradient is expanded to create more variation in colour, contrast and movement as this is a digital output unlike the banner, printing restrictions are void. ... The motif is shrunk and expanded here, it was important to present how scale and space (increasing and decreasing) affects subtly and the perception of relationship between positive and negative space. Furthermore, taking into consideration the location, ‘Groove’ becomes a experience. The space and viewers are flooded with a sea of pink; overwhelmed. Upon closer inspection, the details and gradient only becomes apparent, reiterating the concept behind the work.

Swatches Motif
Motif Swatches Seamless ‘Groove’ is to be treated as two seperate pieces - one being the motif and the other the gradient background. ... The gradient cannot be seamless as it’s a irregular multigradient, it is a mural wall piece. However, the motif can become a seamless pattern, on a plain background, the motif can be either transparent or have a solid fill. Transparency allows the motif lines to overlap.
