Last week I concentrated on the development into a coherent use of
surfaces.
The Process used to start the surfaces was ‘DIY Marbling’ where I used nail varnish to create a marble
effect on paper. [Figure6]

I found that the outcome of the varnish marbling came out well, however the
process looked better when the paper and varnish were still wet, but once dried
it still created the effect intended. The next process is to enlarge the
varnished papers, and to scale them down to give myself different textured
effects, and freedom to play on different compositions to create designs with.
The designs created
need to be bold, graphic, complex and minimal, influenced by Memphis
art movement with an added influence of lines.
The introduction to the lines was from looking into Elle decoration and coming across a simple pieced room, The picture was capturing the kind of mood that I wanted to have involved in my designs, Simple fluent lines. [fig7]

A colour scheme started to occur whilst producing these designs; I tried
to create a minimal colour palette of simple bold colours influenced again by Memphis
art movement. I selected a colour palette through an image I found on pintrest- at the time i felt that it related to the season, this season being autumn, I started to select colours that i felt worked well together and would be introduced into the work I was intending to create.

The collaging of the marble worked well in the designs, by
going back into something simple as collaging really brought out the designs, a royal blue had started to enter into the colour palette, this choice was intentional on how blue was used to steer away the black and to allow the blue to create the bold and graphic effect.
