Biscuit Pattern

I have created another pattern using biscuits; I try to keep my designs quite simple, because they can be quite colourful and busy. I wanted it to be quite playful, so I changed the sizes and positions of various biscuits to keep it exciting. I'm quite happy with it, however I was struggling to decided on whether or not to keep the background white; I didn't want to take too much attention away from the design, and I didn't want it to over power the illustrations.

I am attracted to very simple & colourful graphic illustrations; and this influences my own work a lot. I really like Goran (Marco Romano)'s work, because it's really eye catching and memorable. He's also very good at choosing colour schemes, and knows what works well together.

Laura Zindel - http://www.laurazindel.com/

Laura is an artist who transfers detailed pencil illustrations onto various ceramics, such as; dinner plates, mugs, vessels & bowls; she also uses textile materials like tea towels & pillows. She focuses a lot on more natural sources like animals, insects & plants; her drawings are very delicate, and this compliments the subject. She also creates very beautiful patterns for products like her serving dishes.

William Morris

William Morris is such a huge inspiration to me; he was a major help in reviving the textile industry and even now, he has an influence on contemporary textiles and surface pattern design. I really think his work will live on, especially through inspiration in other designers work.

Louise Tiler

Louise Tiler's work is very classically beautiful; she uses vintage floral patterns and in this I see a lot of inspiration from William Morris' work, which I enjoy because he is also an artist I admire. She combines the floral with detailed pen/pencil drawings, which makes it contemporary and exciting.

Rachel Skeet

Rachel's work is very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing; she combines gentle pastel colours with bold patterns and it works together so well. I also really enjoy how she puts a lot of manual work into her pieces, as the hand embellishes them after they are printed; I love that she adds texture, because it adds a lot more depth and makes it very intriguing.

Phone Case Designs

I have been creating to illustrations to put onto phone cases, and these are ones I have recently digitally refined.
