I practised lots of different ways of how I could show my designs on a scarf using thumbnail designs. This enabled me to roughly draw out different ideas in small scale and see the layout of where each design would go.
In the end I went ahead with the idea that at one end of the scarf I would have my design repeated half way up, and then at the other end I wanted to print the detail zoomed up. What inspired me to do this sort of ida were the designs that Sprouted Design company produce. i liked how they had a very simple yet striking image at the end of the scarf.
These are the 2 designs I want to use for one scarf design. I want to repeat the flower on one side of the scarf and then have the zoomed in detailed image on the other end.
Below is created some templates and played around with different ways the flower could repeat. I felt this one was most effective because it fit in well together and the repeat was interesting instead of just doing it side by side.
I then went into the print room using the colours I had experimeted with and created a repeat pattern on one end of the scarf and then a print of the detail zoomed in. I made sure the zoomed detail was the same colour as the detail on the flowers so it fit together and contrasted off each other.

For my second scarf design I picked these 2 designs to display on a scarf:
Again, I have played around with the repeat of the design. I quite liked the idea of rotating the design upside down on each line to make it fit in together. As the design was a triangle shape this made it much easier to repeat.
I then went into the print room and printed my designs out in a similar way to my previous design. I did this to make it look more like a collection.

Overall I am really happy with these designs. I think the fabric was a really good choice because it shows the design off well. I really like how the colours on both my designs all fit together as a whole quite well. I think these designs are a really simple yet effective way of showing the detail on the flowers.
