Process overview

I am the type of person that is all about process. My original idea is never the same as my final outcome. I use to think this was a bad thing but I have come to learn that this is what design is all about.
I started off with my original sketches. They were bright, detailed and didn't really match each other. They were four completely different wallpapers, which wasn't the concept that was asked of us. After getting feedback from the class and Ben, I went back to the drawing board and figured out what I wanted to stare in the direction of. This direction consisted of lines (which I refer back to in my previous posts). I ressearched and found some images I could get my inspiration from. This didn't work out too well via coding and the images became to similar and I felt that they weren't very original. Therefore, I moved away from this concept and leaned towards the idea of circles and use of lines and different shades of colour. I played around and found a code that made up one large circle with two circles beside each other inside of the larger circle, and then in each one of those circles another two were placed.
I then repeated the circle and changed the colour around and the size. This really proved to be trial and error but after a while of doing so, I made a few fortunate mistakes. As these happened and as things started to go my way, I evolved my design into something that I thought was really capturing. It is detailed but not confusing or too busy. I like the curve of the lines and how they are outlined in yellow, which made the circles pop and you are able to differnciate each circle from one another due to this. The background was a bit boring once I had done the circles, so I experimented with gradients. I found one that had a grid format which created a nice deatil and added texture to the overall concept. This tied the whole scale of the image together and sort of carried your eyes from right to left with the increasing exposure of the colour and then the gradual change into green. Also as the image moves from board to baord the circles become less complicated and intense which also drags your eyes from right to left. By creating one large image and splitting them up, they all work together and allow the over all flow and dynamic to occur with a punch.
