Creating initial design sheets

When starting my inital designs for my final piece, I wanted to bring all of my primary and secondary research together, including my artist research. I decided to photocopy my best research from my sketchbook and began to collage them together to see what they looked like. I also tried to mirror the designs, which I really liked the idea of, however if I had chosen to recreate a mirrored design for my final piece, I wouldn't have time to complete it.

For the first 4 designs, I tried to balance them by using a mirror so that it had a symmetrical image of the the layered skyline. However, when creating these I felt that a skyline should be seen more like a silhouette instead of a reflection. I also used a repeat pattern which I decided to develop further, into a panoramic skyline, as I think it worked really well and I like the idea of the skyline repeating itself.

Continuing on with my initial designs, I created multiple panoramic skylines to show my development. Some of these designs were quite simple and others were more built up. I also created some designs that were evenly distributed to create an evenly balanced photo and others that were more heavily balanced towards one side of the skyline, such as design no'7 where there is more happening on the left side of the skyline then there is on the right side, where as design no'9 is quite evenly balanced on both sides and looks more like an actual skyline.
