Photoshop workshop

At university today, we had a photoshop workshop based on the creation of repeat designs. We created a leaf design using these drawing tablets, which were extremely difficult and strange to use as it was difficult to draw and watch what you were doing on the computer screen. it felt unnatural, I much preferred using the mouse!!

We created the design, hand drawing it onto the computer. Then we played around with the design, varying the size, colour and rotation of the design. We then looked into creating a paint brush of the design so we could quickly paint a design onto photoshop. We then used the ideas from last weeks photoshop workshop to create a tiled repeat. This was a great deal harder than I first thought, it took a little while to develop a repeat without any overlapping motifs.

Displayed below are some of the repeat design I created in the workshop. I aim to use these in my own work, perhaps getting them digitally printed and working into them.
