final designs

I have four possible final designs to choose for submission, but I think I will go with the first three.

Developing patterns

   Design 1: These design developments started off with using the pathfinder tool and morphing all the ipod symbols together to create an abstract pattern.
Once I got the pattern I played around with the fill and stroke to achieve these different patterns.




Design 2: Again I have used the ipod symbols and the pathfinder tool, but this time i have made the pattern more symmetric by reflecting the pattern.
In the floral like patterns i have used the rotate tool to make a motif and then copy and pasted then changed the scale. I quite like these designs but don't think they fit my machine/futuristic theme.






Design 3: This design was created with using just the play symbol and manipulating it with the transform tool. 
This first design was one of the first patterns I had developed and when I got the feedback from Vanessa I realised there were few parts of the design that I needed to clean up. 
Instead I decided to re-do the design but still look fairly similar to the previous. 



Design 4: In design development 4 I have taken the wheel out of the cassette and cut it in half. I then used the rotate and scale tool to make the petal like motifs and then rotate them to create the flower motif.
I quite like how these designs flow, but I'm not sure if they fit with my theme, with the futuristic, geometric and machine look.






Design 5: This design was created by using the path finder tool and merging the pause and stop symbols together. I then made a whole strip of these and distorted it to give it depth.


Design 6: This final design is a development from Design 3, I have taken the triangle motif and used the rotate tool to make these hexagons. I developed it further by making the pattern smaller in scale and then I decided to add purple into the pattern and it created a larger hexagon pattern within the pattern.

My Colour Palette


This is my colour proportions for my final developments.
I wanted there only to be a splash of orange and all the tones of the purple to be equal proportions and same with the blue.
There will be a majority of black because to get the glowing effect my motifs will be black with a different colour stroke line.
