Repeated Pattern //
For one of my sleeve designs I will be experimenting with screen printing.
I will be printing a pattern made up of imagery from the lyrics of the song. To create a repeated pattern I will be experimenting with the two shapes I have used earlier in my designs; The Heart and the Clover.
[insert drawings]
I've first designed two simple pictograms using the same stroke weight. The pictograms should be legible at a number of different sizes.
I plan to screen print this pattern onto a sleeve. To do this I have filled in the pictograms so that they come out successfully when they print. I haven't screen printed in a while and and not sure which of my designs will come out best so I will be experimenting with a number of them. I have kept the designs simple to minimise any human errors.
The design decision to use a traditional process like screen printing came about due to my research into design in the 1960s. A lot of what I found had clear characteristics of traditional processes. Computers were hardly used during that decade which shaped a lot of the design decision. Hopefully, through using screen printing, I will replicate the feel and appearance of 60s design.
I will hopefully add some colour to the screen prints. The colours will be strong and vibrant to match those of the psychedelic design.
