I have been making some patterns on illustrating using the transform and pattern 'maker' tools. I thought that the repetitive nature of patterns could reflect digital technology - as we scroll through endless information and content, repeatedly press and click buttons. It would also do well to represent the tedium and constancy of societies relationship with technology perhaps?
With these patterns I intended to created something quite garish, bright and slightly uncomfortable to look at.... Therefore I choose simple, repetitive patterns - all the shapes taken from aspects of technology - as well as really high contrast colours. Overall I am quite happy with these and think that they communicate the business and discomfort that I think is really appropriate to this theme of technology. To move forward I want to feature these in some kind of illustration - abstract or figurative...I need to go back to roughing and brainstorming ideas.
