texture explorations

In drawing class we were told to pick a textile, stone, wood, and carpet sample from the studio library and practice drawing it. We had to do a 5-square value scale for each at full scale as well as a 1"=1' scale for each. We also had to use a pencil and a pen for each material. The carpet proved to be pretty hard and time consuming. Because I used bamboo which is pretty linear the wood wasn't too hard. The textile wasn't easy but wasn't difficult. What took the longest was the smaller version of the tile. I had to do a lot of stipling to get the right textured look and that took forever. Overall, I think my composition came out nicely.

So it came time for us to change our headers again and this time we had to use computer font(s) that described us as designers. We also had to incorporate a hand-drawn graphic that also reflects us as designers. I chose fonts on the tall/skinnier side because I personally like those best. My graphic is a series of lines that vary in shape/tone/placement. If you've seen my work from the past semester you'll agree that the graphic looks like something that would come from me. I like clean lines and lots of order...but there's always room for imperfections (as long as they're small!) and I think that my new header really relays that.
