New PDF backgrounds

I wanted the colours to be more suttle, calmer and authentic than the previous textures. Hopefully I will be happy with the look of these ones

Textures for PDF backgrounds

I loved how alot of these turned out! However when experimenting with them in my PDF I ended up deciding that they didn’t look right. It wasn’t how I wanted my PDF to look, there were to many contrasting images and colours going on and some of them were too repetitive.

At the moment….

I completely finished my essay early this week which was great as I then had plenty of time to finish working on the designing of the report. For now it is a PDF, with handmade elements but in the future I would like to create this into a book. I thought it was best as a PDF so that I can send it out to all of the people that have helped me with my report.

Currently I am experimenting with ideas for the backgrounds and titles pages of my report, as I am not happy with the styling of the report at the moment. I created some new ones yesterday with letterpress blocks, stencils and spray paints, so hopefully these will look better.

this whole idea od DIY, handmade stuff, hand crafted is its been kind of, alot of interest in it for a few years now3, I imagine its probably just that more and more people want to create these kind of human, kind of fun aesthetics

there are so many trends at the moment, so if they feel their target audience, if that brand is particularly susceptible to a specific trend, then of course they will commission you because they will be wanting to reach that audience and there want to be in tune with that audience
