OUGD504 - Guidebook - Terrazzo Experiments


After looking at Olivia Aspinall's work, I wanted to create my own vector terrazzo pattern to see how it worked alongside my content.

I used Illustrator to create a square filled with small vector shapes in a manner that resembled the terrazzo style. I then experimented with the colours using some colours schemes I had prepared earlier.






I then started looking at layout and begun playing around with how this terrazzo could be used within the front cover.













I wanted to see how it would work alongside the collages I plan to create so I made a quick mock-up on Photoshop to use as a placeholder.



I felt like the typefaces weren't working alongside the terrazzo as they just weren't showing up and were not bold enough against the pattern.

I tried a different layout to see how it would work with a banner for the text.



I really wasn't keen on how this looked and I didn't think it was giving off the vibe I wanted, so I decided to scrap this idea.
