coloured flowers in the real world

These are two images I created using my coloured flower images and two different images from the internet, which using photoshop and the alt key to multiply the flower in one of the images, I have made my flowers apart of the two images, which I now believe the flowers are the main focus point in both images.

 With this idea I wanted to test out more design ideas which I could use for my book cover, by getting images of the real world and placing my flowers within the images to see how it would turn out.

 I like the two images because of the way how they both look completely strange, where my flowers don,t look real at all and look like cartooned based drawings, which I find quiet funny, but next time I feel I need to use different sized versions of my flowers in both images.

Here are my coloured flower drawings, where I have tried different ways of laying out my flower drawings on photoshop in preparation for my book covers idea of using flowers, where I wanted to test out different ideas of laying out my drawings to see if I could take this onto one of the book covers. With the images I tried laying out the flowers in different positions and designs on a page and I tried using my flower drawings to make a larger overall shape, like a triangle and circle shape. With the images I tried to make them in the same basic design on the image so the flowers would repeat the patten, but facing in a different direction and in a smaller size. I like the work because the flowers I believe have made good shapes and pattens, but I feel I should of place some of the flowers better in some of the images.

Here are a series of different coloured flowers I have created using the colour filter on Photoshop to add   different colour combinations to my flower drawings, where I scanned in one of my flower drawings onto Photoshop and using the alt button on the keyboard I was able to multiply that single drawing into a series of the same drawing, where I than added two different colour combinations to each one, where for the first series I used mostly lighter toned versions of different colours and for the second series I used a mixture of lighter and darker colour tones. With the coloured flowers I used different combinations to test out different colour design. I like the colours used because I believe most of the colour combinations work well, but there are some, which I believe would need to be changed next time.

Original flower drawing

This is the first flower drawing I did, where I copied the shape of the flower from a bag I saw with the flowers shape on it. With the drawing I drew the flowers in pencil and black pen so the different types of drawings would give the work different tones, where I also tried to draw as many of these flowers as I could on the A4 sheet, I also tried to draw the original shape of the flowers with accuracy. I like the drawing because I believe the flowers have been spread out well across the page and I believe the flowers go well together with the different tones, but I feel I should of maybe of had the flowers overlapping each other more.     

Written styles

This is a series of different styles of written I wanted to create, where I wrote different things related to the book cover work I was doing based around a book the language of flowers. With the written styles I used my normal written style, bubble written and highlighting over the letters written to make them more bold.

This is a series of flower drawings I did based around images of flowers from the internet. I did the drawings in pen and some in pencil , where I did a series of the same flower drawing on one page. With the drawings I tried to draw them as accurately as I could, with the different shapes and I also intended to make the outlines strong in all the drawings. I like the drawings because I believe they have been drawn accurately and most of the different shapes and sections of the flowers are clear, but next time I feel I need to add better detail to some of the drawings. 

Gagosian gallery visit, the show is over

This is when I went to the Gagosian gallery visit, the show is over exhibition, where I went round and had a look at some of the work and made notes about some of the work. I was interested in the work because of how I found some of it strange because some of the way I could not figure out and it just drew me in.
