Oasis- Fruit

Fruit Research 

After deciding upon a concept, fruit. I wanted to look at how other people had represented fruit in a design context.

This piece is very realistic and photographic, but there is also a lot of negative space which makes it look sophisticated. And the fruit is the main focus.

I like the way the fruit has been dissected it gives a real sense of shape.

The digital nature of this design is interesting, its also realistic but its not real.

This example is fun, you can still see that it is fruit but its not exactly identifiable. This is also looks like a print, and prints are used in fashion quite regularly and so I think that it would be applicable.

I like the colour contrast of this piece I think it adds vibrancy to the work and it is quite fun in its appearance.
