I was put into the short-list for the competition, which is a result im really happy with.
The aim of the Everyday Surface Pattern Brief was to design a contemporary surface pattern for a male or female recipient that could be used across a range of our everyday products including
gift bags, wrapping paper, stationery products or greeting cards. It asked you to focus on a theme and it gave some examples such as spots, stripes, male icons or female icons, but I decided to focus on electrical components and circuit boards because it related to my self directed project. I have used the circuit boards found in an old television that I took apart and my colour scheme is taken from the components found in there aswell. My intensions for these prints was for stationary, and overall I am happy with their appearance.
My aim wasn't to create a collection, as that wasn't what the brief asked you to do, but to create three completely different prints that origionated from the same source.
