Illustrator Vector Patterns

For this task I have been given the theme of 90s music, in order to create my ideas I researched different events and songs which were part of that time as well as researching things that were brought out in the 90s and turning them into vectors through Adobe Illustrator! Then once we have done this we use ten images and ten words to create a repeat pattern!

Designer Research

Tim Marrs is a graphics designer and illustrator who is known for his visual work which includes lots of different techniques which include drawings, photography, screen printing, photoshop work and more; here are some examples.   Throughout his career he has worked with Pepsi, Nike, Maxim, Saatchi and Virgin- Marrs' work has a relatively bold approach along with a dynamic look; these include a mix of inspiration from American pop culture, pulp fiction and pop art. Every piece he has created he has carefully thought about colour and composition/ style to create a perfect blend of these elements. The images that I have shown are very surreal and he brings these images to life- by using bright colours which enable his artwork to stand out. Marrs also incorporates a range of subjects into his work to give it a meaning or story- he's used famous buildings, road signs and even nature- presented in an original manner.

PHOTOSHOP LESSON 1

 In today's lesson we went on to photoshop and had to find an image and create nine different versions of it, using levels, brightness/contrast, vibrance, colour balance, curves, exposure, photo filter, black & white and unedited. To do this we used several different layers and effect in order to make each image different. Our second task was to replace the colour of an object- for example the pink lipstick was the original colour and then I changed it to a bright blue colour. BEFORE AND AFTER COLOUR REPLACEMENT Before and after liquify tool.
