Print

For my collection I wanted to create a print based up looking at blueprints of buildings and my own drawings of my route. This has slightly changed because now going to national express I was able to pick up maps of Birmingham as well as time tables of when my bus is due. I also took photos of the time schedule in my 97 bustop. With these I want to create an intense print which has repetition in it because my bus journey is what I do every day.

In textiles we discussed everyone’s project and what there next moves are in progressing in our FMP. Speaking with Tracey & Vicky , I talked about my ideas for print and what kind of fabrics I want to use. I want to use materials which are similar to materials used on building. Like scaffolding/pipes using some kind of wire to give shape to fabric, or using starch to stiffen fabric so that it not able to move, because when you look at elements of a building they don’t move there sturdy , strong and well supported. And also using reflective materials as well because when I pass building on my bus I can normal see the reflection of the bus.
Tracey mention how she was able to get a hold of bus seat covers which I could be able to use to do sampling with, the reversed side as well as those reflective jackets builders us when the on site - using the reflective grey panels in some way. I want to use photo shop to scan in my route from map & guide along with the timetables and start playing around with proportion as well as repetition , highlighting certain areas on my route.
