Following on from the paper fruits (which you can also see here) I’ve recently been doing a bit more design work on the theme of creating things out of paper, and then transferring them digitally.

Here is some work I’ve done for a project at work! The first thing was to cut out the individual shapes from stiff coloured card, and then glue the pieces together.

Next, using some fruits from the previous project, I worked on grouping the items.

To give the project some depth, I balanced some of the items on various height markers- in this case, 5p coins, £1 coins, Naproxin pills and Codydramol pills. Just stuff I had lying around really!

Then I put the photos into Illustrator and Photoshop. I traced around some of the fruits in Illustrator to give them a black stroke, and then brightened and evened out some of the colours in Photoshop.

And some of the resulting patterns.
