YCN OASIS: BEADING

After two attempts at my initial idea's and my plan not going the way I had intended I decided to just stick to this final process and design the rest of my work digitally to show that I have considered and alternative way in which the Oasis messages could be represented.

I took a trip to the bead shop in the corner exchange and brought a selection of micro glass beads and glue to create my work.

I initially printed my work out by using the bypass feed in university and used the letters as a guide on where I could stick the beads.

For my first message I used a selection of beads and stuck them down all individually as I would do with the rest of my messages. For this design I used a multicoloured pack of beads that ranged in blues, purples, greens and silvers to represent the bold colours oasis uses and the diversity of the brand.

For my second design I used two tones of red beads to represent 'love' and how it would stand out in store. Again sticking these designs down all individually was a long process but I was really happy with the on-going outcomes.

For my final beaded design I used two shades of sliver to represent technology and the internet. I felt this design looked a little more bejewelled than beaded however I was happy with the outcome and how it would look when professional photographs are taken.

Although the process took me up to 1-2 days to complete I was really happy with the outcome and seeing one of my initial ideas finally come to life. Even though all my designs are going to be slightly different I hope it shows to the judges that I have thought of a multitude of ways that these messages can be portrayed creatively.
