I thought that my illustrations of homeless people were full of interesting shapes and bold colours, so decided to experiment with making prints out of them using photoshop.
In my first print I wanted to show of the illustrations so I left lots of white space so they could all easily be seen. I also added some chunky, colourful text saying "My name's Beth' I'm homeless and "Can a borrow a fiver mate' to bring homeless my characters to life. I made the text slightly overlap across the images to give the print a layered and animated effect.
My other two prints were made by layering copies of my illustrations of a variety of different sized and transparencies to create a full continuous print. Both of these print remind me of camouflage print, which is interesting as I used camouflage in my designs earlier in my project. I really like how these prints look like camouflage as I am hugely inspired by late 90's style st the moment and this print was extremely popular then. This made me think about how a stylistic code can have many meanings, as camouflage print was originally used by the armed forces but now is associated with the 90's fashion.
I think that these prints are very versatile as they are unisex and could work on any garment. I will definitely use them in my final outcome.
