Continuing on from my last post this one shows my developing Prints using CAD, specifically Photo shop. Like i explained in my last post i wanted the print to give an edgy feel to the piece yet be modern and compliment the design which would also be relatively modern yet constructed to traditionally flatter the female form. so i wanted to develop a print that would compliment and blend with the design but also challenge my skills and techniques, so i chose three designs to develop in CAD to do this, and exhaust all the possible design layout and design style options.
below are a few of my print designs using CAD.
The above four samples for possible print design where created using photo shop tools such as, cloning, effects, magic selection, duplicate, layering, etc and the process for each was similar as my knowledge and skills using CAD are not very advanced however i really like each of the results and would use any of them for my final design. this technique of creating a print design was time consuming to start as i was not too familiar with how to use the program but once the basics where mastered the results where good, and the finished images where polished and could be very varied. Photo shop is a great tool for all sort of CAD image editing needs, it can create many different results and has many tools to help with every possible need i.e editing, changing effects, colour, merging,cloning and many more but it can be difficult to master and can only be learn ed through practise and trial and error. it can really develop an image in ways that wouldn't be possible by hand and is a tool that i will use in the future particularly for print developing as it gives the designs more depth and a polished edge.
The bottom two print designs i particularly like as they blend well together and make the viewer look at the design more closely, and i feel would compliment my final design well finishing it rather than overpowering it. however i feel they would work best if they were laser printed onto fabric because of the small detailing and intricate pattern and this method of print is not available to me so i will have to simplify the design and create the print using the screen printing method used in previous projects. creating possible three separate design on a single screen and then hand layering them up while printing them myself. however this is probably the best available option and i will be able to perfect my screen printing technique.
To ensure that i stay on target i will take the three main prints and have a screened developed from them in the next few days at college and test the prints on my fabrics to ensure this method suits my fabrics.
