Second Year Textiles (Man Made/ Organic Project)

Going into second year I decided to specialise in Print. I felt my drawing skills and knowledge were best suited to this area of Textiles, and i wanted to explore the specialism further throughout my second year.


The first module consisted of a technical block, in which i learnt all the processes and skills needed for the rest of my degree. In this project i decided to look into the juxtaposition of natural and man made as my over arching theme. I researched into maps, aerial road maps, satellite road images, OS maps and also into natural forms such as trees, vegetation, fruit, and decaying organic textures.


I wanted to push my CAD skills further therefore worked heavily on Adobe Photoshop to create a lot of my designs.


These are a few of my initial sketches and visual research for this project.
