My theme developed from the word History: I decided to focus
on the Industrial Revolution as this was significant in Manchester, being the
world’s first industrial city.
The Facts: Peoples History Museum
The industrial revolution was a period of great change and
transformation. The exhibition emphasized how colour is historically used to
represent ideas:
Red
– Courage, revolution
Green
– Reform
Blue
– Loyalty
Purple
– Dignity
Pink
– Peace, Prosperity
White – Purity
Gold
– Ambition
Design Inspiration: Museum of Science and Industry
Manchester was the largest centre for cotton textile production in the
world. I photographed textile machinery since the layers of different mechanisms
with small, intricate parts are ideas for design motifs. The machines are
advanced and specialised which will be reflected in my work with elaborate and complex
imagery.
Machine Diagrams: I like these precise line drawings which appear technical and detailed. I could use clear cut geometric lines and shapes to create the same qualities. I also looked at the structure of fabrics as these have interlocking patterns and arrangements.
