Toying around with 1950's Textile backgrounds


To begin tying in roman baths with 1950's textile design, I've taken some my recreated designs of Lucienne Day's work and taken them into photoshop to play around with how they might sit in a background design. In my opinion, the mix of roman/greek style baths and these deigns work well together as they seem to compliment each other. There's a sense of growth and delicacy about the designs that seem natural on top of the buildings in these mock ups.  

Below, I used colour schemes with less distractions such as colour. By using simple tones of the same colour, it brings out the beauty of the building and the pattern. They stand out as effective concept pieces, as well as pretty lil pieces of art.

(T.Rex Live in Concert 1993; David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust; every Led Zep album; Pearl Jam, Ten; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction; Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon; Foos, Santana, Blur, Stone Roses jOY DIVISION STEVIE NICKS AC/D- okay the list is quite endless.  The (allegedly) cold, hard truth is that the album cover has to reflect the songs perfectly. So after a good week of listening to nothing but the wonderful Will Dunn's unfinished EP, I felt brave enough to begin coming up with ideas.  When in doubt - run to collage. That's my motto. So I did. Results...
