Research

Four Seasons

P01

I have developed a range of research into the four seasons, this has allowed and influence my design direction with the use of colours, patterns styles and common elements seen within them. The research is really useful as it has helped me make a design that really represents the seasons effectively.

Development

Four Seasons

P02

Development of the individual items that would make up the patterns within the four seasons brief has been important as the items had to be unique but representative of objects associated with the four seasons and also makes sure they are recognisable by the public.

The use of this together with the pattern , caused problems as they need to match and go together.

Process

Four Seasons

P03

Printing of this brief took the form of screen printing, this is a method I have used many times however it caused many issues as the board would be setup correctly.

The designs have been placed upon dark recycled paper this allows the colours and style to standout and make as much impact as possible. If I was to do this again I would try limit all the colours to three.

The use of the colours on the design creates a contrast between the lighter and darker colours, this is effective at making a design that has impact and standout. The use of a screen-printing method works well as it keeps the texture of the paper within it making it look creative and natural.
