I have been working more with my rock imagery and have come up with a design that I would like to use.
I started off with this image:
The colours of this image are the original colours of the photograph. I like the way that the colours don't look as though they are the natural colours, even though they are. This blurring of natural/industrial has really excited me with me work and I would like to bring this out more in my work. I set out to devlop a colour palette for my repeat pattern. I wanted to use colours that are not usually found in nature, but I actually found when I visited the rock collection.
My second step was to create a repeat pattern. This was my result:
I believe this colour is a perfect example of the colours I was aiming to use. I love the rosey hues in the image. I find it quite ironic that by using an original photograph of a rock, I have managed to create a pattern that has reverted back to my idea of creating something very floral.
My next step was to introduce some more colour to the design:
To communicate the scale that I am designing for I have added the image of the man stood next to the piece. I envision the piece the cut through the open space that is the "lantern space" in the new build. It is a section of the building inhabited by the famous concrete pillars cast with the traditional floral pattern. Something to run along side this piece is the idea of the colours as a landmark to each floor. I would like to propose that also the floors take on the colour scheme from the piece. Ground floor to be accessorized with yellow, 1st floor orange, 2nd floor purple, 3rd floor blue. Perhaps the doors/railings/window frames or other sections of the floors to take on those colours.
I have sent this design to be digitally printed and will post an image of the design on here. It is a much smaller scale than what I am designing for, it will be 1.5m long and 15cm wide. I plan on creating some visualisations from this idea!
I decided to "find" the colours I want to use in some more of my own photographs of rocks. These are the photographs that I used:
