GROUP REPEATED PRINTS

Our Repeats.



Our iniciual design idea for this came from Sally-Anne drawing of a circuit board. And from there we decided that it would be an interesting idea to have a length that was based on an electric theme.



This is when Sally-Anne, Amy, and I worked on the repeat design on codertrace. Making sure we coloured in the areas with dark opac colours as possible.



This was to be our first print layer.



And this was to be our second.



We were finding it hard to decide on what sort of colour ways that we should use for this print so I took a few pictures of the trace and played about with the colours on photoshop.
Someone first initially said that they thought that green and red would be a good colour choice, but when they saw it printed they decided that it was as good as they had hoped.



Everyone seemed to prefer this colour range. And that inspired us to look into Constructivism. 





Although a lot of my playing about didn't aid much to the project. It did give us a better understanding of how we visualised our work and how it might eventually look.





Us testing out and getting the right dyes.


Our fabric length. Getting ready for printing.


Measuring the distances needed for the screen printings.


Taping down the fabric length.



Our first two prints.


You can see the repeat more clearly now.
