Constructing Designs
I decided to adopt the technique of Atelier Bingo's work through adding abstract line drawing of my own. Each drawing was designed to also visualise the mood of a particular month. For example hotter months included more wavey lines to suggest the heat where as winter might include more circles and dots to suggest snow or rain.
Using the G.F Smith colourplan series of paper, I arranged the colours into the separate tones and temperatures of spring, summer, autumn and winter. I often reflected back to the mood boards I created in my research to copy contrasts and combinations.
The composition of each collage was done through trying out different arrangements until it reflected the personality of a particular month I was aiming for. Throughout this process numerous of different combinations were made for each month before achieving the final design.
The use of circles would often be identified as the sun,
movement was created through using a spectrum of tones from light to dark
not gluing down the paper abled the designer to be adjusted but also allowed them to sit slightly raised from the paper beneath, giving in depth which made the paper seem more real and tactile which was one of the aims of the calendar - "to highlight the tactile of paper'
My calendar wants to show off what you can do with paper. The calendar design uses entirely only the G.F smith paper. It acts as a series of small artworks that are fun, playful and also encouraging to any one to give . a go for themselves.
