Reflecting on the last few exercises i think my strengths are colour, i love experimenting with different tones and what works well together. I do however need to be more creative with my layering and layout styles i tend to keep to the same sort of format with my work, taking risks isn’t the end of the world! I did really love looking at patterns with typography it would be interesting to look at other ways to create something visually dynamic with other shapes. I know this is more possible with the update on adobe illustrator for this year. So here is my research into this below.
I watched a YouTube tutorial video on how to create patterns in illustrator, these are so helpful and easy to follow, so i have tried to create my own version following these steps.
Having never used this tool before i have fallen in love! There are so many options for the layout and to create different sizes and this was just created with a few shapes the possibilities are many with this tool, glad i looked into this and will definitely be using this in future exercises and assignments.
