197SP11pattern,textile



This textile I created I feels represents my African heritage with the geometric pattern used similar to other African textiles I observed online. The city skyline I added to the pattern allowed me to change up the traditional aspects a bit more in order to represent myself better.







Here is my overall presentation of my textile in its repetitive format. Overall, I like how the pattern turned out, however, the images I used when editing were a bit too small making the overall presentation too pixelated, so learning from this I will be sure to next time, pay attention to the sizes of the images I use so in the end, I will haev the results I'm looking for in a project.

197SP11pattern


Here is my take on a project where we were asked to take several images and distort them until it would be difficult to match them with the original image. After doing this project, I gained a lot of knowledge on how to work with photoshop again, as well as what kind of work can come out of manipulating the photo of a common item to look artistic.
