Hmmm

I've come to the conclusion that my shapes appear to abstract and its hard to tell that they are cameras I need to work on this.

Ideas

I decided to use muslin as I felt i could sew

the fabric onto the camera making it a tight

fit. Also I enjoy working with fabric and

feel it incorporates my hobbies and personality.

I used traditional colours as I felt the

shapes created appeared quite traditional so

wanted to keep this theme.

I tried out my design on material.

I used some muslin and drew around the

card shapes to create the pattern in pencil.

Here I used felt tips. This medium wasn't

the best to use as it had a very streaky effect.

I wanted to colours to almost blend together.

Ideas

Here I cut out the abstract shapes and

put them onto card to make them easier

to draw around,

The beginnings of my camouflage pattern

Here's an example of how the outlines I created appear

when filled in. It is difficult to picture my final design when

they are all in black I need to experiment with colour.

Creating the outline

Using the photocopy filter on Photoshop on the photographs

of the cameras gave me this effect. I felt this was

the best way to create the outline needed

to form my pattern

Drawing attempts

Here was my second attempt. Once id done these

I realised I didn't need all the detail I was putting into them

as my final piece will be constructed using abstract shapes.

This was my first attempt at drawing the camera

I found it quite difficult and got the perspective completely

wrong so i decided to try again at a different angle.

5 generations of camera

The item i chose to base my camouflage pattern around

was my cameras. This was because there was a clear

range and a variety of shapes that could be formulated.

The cameras vary from manual SLR's to digital to a digital SLR.
