Surface Pattern Packaging

This packaging for tea was designed by Michelle Mckeon, 
they have used a surface pattern design and applied it to their
product and the design also has relevance to the product which is
something I want to consider in my illustration and surface pattern briefs.

Patterned Stationary

I am applying my pattern to a range of stationery, I have done
to research to see how other people have done it. Some designs
use the same pattern and changed the colours and layout, other designs
use similar colour schemes and shapes but changes them slightly each time.

Kate Moross

Kate Moross is one of my favourite designs, she works a lot with pattern and
applying her patterns to her design work. These are just some example sof the work she
does. I am looking at her work in relation to my surface pattern brief, seeing how she
applies her work to the products is something I need to focus on for
this brief.

Presenting a Range

For my Precious brief and my Stationery range I am creating
a range of products, I will need to present the range and photograph
it for the boards. I found these images of a range of products, I like
how they have been organised and photographed to show all the elements
of the range and then the range as a whole in its packaging.

Field Notes

Field Notes produce a range of note books but they 
also sell stationary to go alongside the notebooks. All their
products can be sold separately and as part of a set.
They also have themed and limited edition sets which is 
something I could consider when producing my own stationery
range.

Indian Textile Design

After my crit feedback I realised I needed to look more into the context of my designs,
so I went to the library and got some book out on Indian patterns and textiles.
They have definitely given me some more ideas for patterns, colours and layouts for
my stationary range.
Also the last book about the Sari gave information on the use of elephants and the Kalga which I use a lot in my designs.

Henna Designs

Lots of my designs for my stationery range are based on indian henna
designs, so I have done some research into the different types of designs
and looked at some images for inspiration.

Dan Funderburgh

'Dan Funderburgh is a Brooklyn-based illustrator, artist, and wallpaper designer whose creations are rooted in the world of decorative arts.'
I came across this guy this weekend and I love his work, it is the type
of work I want to make. He applies his patterns to work, some client based
work, wallpaper design and some self directed work.
I especially liked his lazer cut work, this is something I want to look
into more this year, using different processes within my design work.

Looking at different patterns for inspiration for my surface pattern
brief. I think I am going to focus on geometry as my starting point
and work from there.
I am going to draw up some designs tonight and start printing
and applying to products tomorrow.

Past Tigerprint Briefs

I have looked at some of the past Tigerprint briefs which formed
the basis of my own surface pattern brief.
These are some of the examples of the competition briefs
they have had in the past.
