2.2.10 (SELF) Composition Development

Composition Designs

Within this project all the compositions I create are done though photoshop, I’ve been developing the skills I used in the Wallace and Sewell project but in a different manner. Instead of focusing on colour I've been producing patterns through reflection and repetition. Although I can not recreate the exact pattern on my loom the basic proportions of structure and colour is easily translated, I feel like this method of working is something I would like to implement in future design work due to its speed and easy ability to edit, far quicker and accurate than drawing patterning or structures.

Samples in Need of Development


So far I have made a few samples, my new method of composition design has proved to be effective as most of the samples are concise and perfect for my final collection. My sample have however began to evolve into there own, they not longer do I see then in a gallery context but now I am beginning to see them commercially, as room dividers or something along them lines. I plan to research the possible areas that my transparent structured design will be well suited. The samples that do need development (below) are due to yarn choice and slight unbalanced proportions. The left sample lacks space and the heavy leather cord over weighs the designs; in this sample I introduced cotton and lurex weft, the cotton however brakes up the flow of the sample and naturally reduces it transparent quality. In the rest of my samples I have chosen to use only clear and black lurex as they are fine and light, perfect in reflecting my Photoshop compositions. The right sample again suffers from being too busy, the sections of structures are unbalanced and in my develop sample I plan to correct this imperfection.
