Editing:
After drawing out a few swan heads, I was able to scan them in, multiply them, and have a little mess around with the rotation and mirroring. Im slowly begin to see the start of something nice! Thankfully..

Part 1 of who knows how long this could take..
Original sketches:
For the past weeks or so, I have been participating in the D&AD awards. through uni, and have been on my way to creating a surface patters/ (dare I say..) textile pattern, to be entered into the competition. Above we can see my original scribbles, beautiful photos taken by my father, and illegible handwriting, all to be used to HOPEFULLY create something nice!

Admittedly rushed.
Okay, so here's the thing; this project was rushed, very rushed. I got lazy over the Christmas holidays, a little too comfortable in the fact it was Christmas and there was ALOT to eat, and seemed to forget all about my commitments with Uni, and left this project a little later than I probably should have.
Admittedly, its not the best work I've produced, and admittedly I could have made this a whole load nicer, and admittedly I wish I had have done this a whole load nicer, but things I have gained from this are a unknown love for pattern, which is now coming through into my current project, which I am very grateful for.
I let myself down with the type used as I know I can do 100x better, and I let myself down with the final production as I know I can do 10x better. (not 100x better, because final production is one area I really struggle with.)
But with the feedback Ive had, and the fact it made people laugh whilst reading it, is great news.
Things I have learnt from this project?
DONT BE SO GODDAMN LAZY.

''Im gonna be creative and I'm not gonna smoke crack.''
So, since the moment I first watched Beautiful Losers, the documentary that I bang on a lot about to friends and tutors, I fell in love and have been in love with the work of Steve Powers. Being a huge influence on my love of hand painting signs, and lettering in general, I always get super excited when I stumble across something new that I haven't seen from him.
Whilst having a nosy around the Its Nice That archives, I came across this...
Kurt Vile - Wakin On A Pretty Daze cover art documentary
If you head over to the Its Nice That page, you can have a read on what they have to say, as Im sure we have established, I am RUBBISH with words!
You can also check out the full 10 minute time lapse for the whole mural, created for Kurt Vile, by Steve Powers, for the release of Kurts new album.
Thanks!
