Round 2: Further Ideas

Discussed priorities for this round of ideas last week- not characters but bolder, simpler patterns as the pages will be visually busy with products already.Feeling positively towards the structures: patterned pyramids, pylon/trees, brick texture, ink spires. Also the concertina shapes and neon icicles. More hand-drawn quality - almost doodles.  More of a mix of materials perhaps? Something more instinctive that sets the tone for each page.

More Sketchbook - Totems

I mentioned that I was interested in the idea of totems and structures - a little character that could represent the theme/colour in addition to pattern.  I always feel most comfortable making an image that contains an object or person with a personality. The patterned matryoshka pyramid started it off, so I continued the idea for the other pages.

Landscape ideas combined

I did this as a sort of 'mood-board' for myself
