Looking into book desgins, both destailed and simple to help make my work look more like art and less like just a documentaion.
William Morris
William Morris has created orinmental, detailed illusatraions that use alot of flora images. With bhis desgines he has printed boook desgines.
I like the amount of detail that is in his work, as well as the movement he gets from his flowly lines of the vines. However for my work i would like to work with a more simple desgin, still having some elements of the natural world.
Kisses (Victorian Book)
I looked at this kids book for the simple boarders that are seen on each page, them all being the same design, however each spread is a differnt colour from the lass, having 3 colours seen in the book.
Illuminated Manuscripes
I like both the more detailed desgins and the more geomatic ones that is show in this book. For this prioject i was more drawn to the geomateic ones, having staight lines and circles.
Other Book
This book has alot of differnt borders, each page is differnt from the lass, still having repaeating boarders. Alot of the boarers are thin but have alot of details in, it will be inresting to do a simliar thing with mine, having mulitple desgins instead for one. I also notice that boarers that are around pitcures are all the same, and think it will be intresting to do a simplar thing with mine, having all lace images the same, all photos and all the lino prints.
