The illustration clearly needed a concept so I decided that I would use these shapes and effects to illustrate an abstract face. This would give the design some form whilst maintaining this specific aesthetic I thrived to use. I had to generate a few more shapes to use to be able to complete this illustration, so I naturally began drawing with a slight idea of what I'd like the outcome to look like in mind.
I took these abstract shapes and condensed them down into a more human like shape. Selecting some individual shapes and refining them slightly to my needs whilst keeping the abstract form aided me in creating this abstract human face design. Now I had the shape of the face, I'd have to transform them into the gradients I wanted and experiment with a few different colour ways, making sure it would still be screen printable.
Here are a few different alterations of the gradient and noise effected face. The two lower images show a two colour separation process meaning that more then one colour could be printed instead of just a single colour. This could highlight specific aspects of the face, expressing the fact that it is a face just incase the whole thing gets engulfed and the concept is lost. After using these two separation I experimented with the previous colours I had sourced before from inverting the previous winners design.
After some feedback, I was recommended to use some more earthly tones, like pinks and reds to emphasise the fact this was a human form. I experimented with darker tones as this design reminded me of some old art deco style so I made sure the colours remained neutral in reflection of this whilst maintaining some more human like hues.
