A lot of work since thursday.

I started by documenting all the beauty and fashion items on the receipts in my wallet. It ended up being 40+ items and totaling $400.00 +, with the receipts dating back to the beginning of September.
Next I took pictures of the items and using Tessa's suggestion of Adobe Kuler and chose a color that represented the product based on the image.
examples:



etc.

After that I composed the colors within squares, creating different color pallets. I put the names of the products in a font that looks very similar to my handwriting and their price, but the handwriting wasn't really working for me so I took that off.


Working with the idea of using my handwriting, I thought it would cool to make a huge receipt in my handwriting to maybe act as the wallpaper behind my other pieces in the show.


It's going to be a lot longer after I add in the other items.

Next I was thinking about what Tessa said about creating look books, or collections, with the tunnel books. So I was thinking of fashion themes and as a re-do of the first book I came up with "In Bloom" which would be a mix of abstracted flower prints.




Aztec Themed.


Nautical Themed.

I played around with adding the patterns to each panel, and to different items. Also I made the arrows the same pattern as the outside border of each panel instead of the original black.

Lastly I played around with using the themes with my figures and showing how the patterns would be used on clothes. I also created little scenes to go along with the themes.




The end.
