Sampling:week two

This week I worked from my drawings and images of the vinyl. I focused on one image which I thought worked best overall.

Using found papers from 'mapping the city' (ones I found interesting) and inked backgrounds I hole punched them and using the punched out circles I created images, thinking about composition and which colours worked best.I wanted to get a feel of the image by using the dots and created different width lines.

  The contrast between the vertical, orange lines from the background and the horizontal dotted lines work really well. I used a newspaper for the dots on the orange background and coloured dots on the brown background showing contrast. When the dots are punched out, they bring a whole new level to the found papers and start to create their own image, colour and patterns from the original.

I wanted to create this image using dots and only straight lines. The proportion of colour is shown through the dotted lines.  

Sampling: Week one

This week was the start of 'sampling' we were asked to unravel a vinyl box on the wall which had lines cut into it measuring 100m. We had to stick the vinyl back onto the wall to create a different pattern.

I used this to then draw the vinyl. I tried to create the feel of the vinyl by using lots of built up lines to create texture and depth.
 

 After this session we were asked to create our own 100m drawing. I wanted to show layers and depth. By actually drawing individual lines measuring up to 100m I like how accurate it is and shows data. By using a tally I was able to keep track of how many lines I had drawn. 

 I used pencil, ink and pens to create the different lines. most aren't easy to see as I used a hard pencil. The amount of lines show data and examples of grouping data in two different ways e.g the tally and the lines.

Sampling: Mapping and Measuring

This week I went into the city to take photos of things with colour and interesting patterns.

Vinyl

Once the design is printed on the vinyl I peeled away what I didn't want and was left with he design I did want. A layer of sticky plastic is then placed on top.

I cut each one out and experimented with different layouts.

I stuck the vinyl onto a sheet of acetate then peeled the plastic away leaving the finished vinyl.
