First Wrapping Paper Designs

After looking at my second attempt a few times I decided that the coloured feathers were just to scarce and the black/grey feathers still over powered the image. I took the image back into Photoshop and adding a bit more colour. I was trying to keep all the coloured feathers different to make the image stand out more and also it meant I could include more of the colours we see at Autumn. This is my final design for the feather paper. I think its turned out really well and I received good feed back about it.

 

I thought the black and white feather wrapping paper, my initial design, was a bit plain, I thought it was nice and calm and I love working in black and white, but for wrapping paper I just didn't think it worked as well as it possibly could. I started playing around with the design on Photoshop and adding colour. I didn't want to colour all the leaves in because I didn't want a hectic design just something that stood out. I chose these colours because they're Autumn colours and personally I think they're subtle. 

This is another design I came up with, I was trying to stick to the nature theme. I didn't want to just do random designs. Because my initial idea was meant to be about Autumn I'm thinking of trying to create something similar to this feather one but with leaves.

This was my first design for the wrapping paper because the idea came from this workshop. I think this design could actually work for the front of a card design also, the reason I've chosen wrapping paper instead is because you generally find repeated patterns like this on wrapping paper.
