DESIGN STUDIO CONCEPTUALISATION

 Texture

This refers to the way an object or image looks or feel.

There two types of  texture, natural and artificial.
Natural texture , is more concerned with nature hence you would say an image of a leaf , has a natural texture or a leafy texture.
Artificial texture, is more concerned about man made things hence you would say an image of a brush has an artificial texture or a bristle texture.
Below are some textures, try and identify which kind of texture they fall under.
You can create your own texture also,with design software such as photoshop. By doing this as a designer, you are able to build on your creative skills and also adds originality to your works,instead of always depending or analysing other people's textures you can also create and analyse your own works and textures.
The above textures were derived from mostly fabric and bristle textures. I took these textures and did a series of editing using a software known as lightroom to them to get my final work.One would realise that the first eight textures still had resemblance to the original textures. Being displeased with this outcome because it still lacked originality, I still did some more editing with an editing application known as picsart to attain my desired results, which can be seen in the last eight textures.
This exercise encouraged me to me more daring and also how to add originality to my name and my works as a graphic designer. 
Below are images of the original textures I used to derive my final work.







Making your own texture is not a difficult task, you may sometimes be displeased with the outcome but what matters is how creative and original you can be as a designer. Also you should be able to tell what kind of texture you have created and also explain to people what kind of texture it is, so if your texture has trees in it, you can say that texture is natural or it is has a vegetation texture.
