design development

Here are a few of my current design sheets. I am working on my design development which is helping my creative thinking process. The majority of my design sheets are drawn or painted using media such as fine liners, inks or acrylic. I design in a linear format and then transform my images into designs using the Adobe CS5 program.

As well as looking at shells and fossils I also began to look in the human form in relation to our surroundings, including shells and crustaceans etc. I feel that we often forget the beauty that we have been given in the form of shells, fossils and crustaceans. They provide us with unique patterns and colours that are completely natural and never mass produced.
