The Elara print 🌃💙
I’m ending my urban-inspired prints mini-series with a bang by saving the Elara print until last! ⚡️
The inspirational photographs boast a strong colour palette, which forms the basis of this striking, high-contrast design. Elara is the final print from my City Lights collection, but it is slightly different to the other City Lights prints in that the shapes and motifs are taken from the forms I could observe in the collages in the third picture, as opposed to in the original photographs themselves.
I have plans to develop the City Lights project into a clothing collection, and I created the garment collages by cutting up the photographs and rearranging the dissected pieces into forms that resemble items of clothing. This is a technique I often use as part of the initial idea generation stage of my projects. Perhaps I should share the City Lights collages, too!
And finally… now that the urban-inspired prints series has come to a conclusion, what should I do for my next design inspiration series?
