Focusing the idea of decay and autumn, I wanted to place emphasis on the withered layers of petals underneath. Using the lasso tools I outlined the rose, making it a motif and slightly changed the colour of the rose.
Playing around with the effects, using the poster artistic filter and shadows I created this where most of the rose was in block colours, lacking detail and more like a cartoon - this contrasting the more detailed and real form of the dried out petals beneath.
This next one is a similar attempt to draw attention the the bottom petals using the paint daub filter. While very pretty, I feel as though its too realistic for what I imagine a textiles print will look like. I do however particularly like the detail of the most front petal, drying and curled- its delicate nature and brittleness depicted well.
This pencil effect I think is really interesting and effective. This is a effect I will consider - like its almost lineo block effect and the blended shades of colour coming through.
This 'cut out ' effect of the rose is very similar to the poster effect. Something like this I feel is more suitable as a motif for a print. I particularly like the way the different tones of colour and clearly defined with this effect.
I also played around with the neon effects and I love the results. I think its stunning and the detail of lines and colour within each petal is spectacular. I love the eerie and surreal feeling it emanates.
As much as I really like this motif I feel to create a pattern simply using this may be too simple so while I will keep this in mind- I will continue to experiment and generate other ideas.
