Overview of project

I like the final outcome of the four wallpapers. I like the way I used contrast alot as it makes it look more effective than using colour. I only changed the first and last wallpaper because I felt that the old ones werent very nice and with a little more development that I did, Made them look much better. I felt that I understood the project alot more than when I first did it. If i had the chance to do it again, I would research into the code a bit more so that it easy to type out rather than typing one sentence after the other. This took a bit of time. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome. This idea was developed from my inspiration images and developed a bit more till I finally reached a design that I liked quite alot.

Development Sketches and Final Idea


This is my final idea that I have design. I have used the idea from my inspiring sketches, contrasting to help design my final wallpapers. Also I have portrayed my precedent pieces into it. So these images have really helped to come up with a final design. I am happy with the final outcome.





Development Sketches - These are my development sketches that i drew to help develop more ideas for the final wallpapers. There are two ideas here showing contrasting and space. You can also see a large amount of my precedents developed within the wallpapers. I am not sure if I will use colour or not but I feel that black and white is the best option because its gives it the most effective look.

Progress on wallpapers

So, I have decided on my precedent images and I have also done some inspiring sketches to help develop ideas for my wallpapers. In my wallpapers I want to use space and contrasting like the last piece on my inspiring sketches. I feel that this idea is a little undeveloped, so I feel best to do more sketches to help me come up with my final design.

Development - inspiring sketches


Inspiring sketches - I drew these as inspiration pieces at the beginning of this project. This was to help me to develop a design for my wallpapers. The first sketch is a maori piece. This inspires me because its part of my heritage. The second piece I drew like a board game because board games are a good way to develop skills. I found this inspiring. The top sketch on the right inspires because it looks like a illusion but I have developed this idea from the ABC blocks that we used to play with as kids. Now the bottom one isnt of anything. I just really like the idea of space and contrast. I think both of these techniques brimgs out the most effective look in a design piece and I really want to put this into my four wallpapers.

Precedent Images

Image one - I really like this image with the way the circles have been put inside of the squares giving the design an effective look. I dont like the colors as much as im not too fond of the brown with the other chosen colours, I would like to portray this idea into my wallpapers,







Image Two -  I have used a a target as one of my precedent images because I like the contrasting and also this is something that I will be able to achieve in processing. I could really develop this idea into my wallpapers and even design it to a way i like it so its not like I'm copying a target.

Resubmission Project One - Wallpapers

I am resubmitting project one as I didnt achieve the level that I wanted to. So I am to design a set of four wall papers in processing using relevant coding. I am not good at coding but I will use it till my advantage.
