Tea Exploration through shape

• Different gradients of tea depending on how much milk is added, overlaid and opacity changed to give a mix of light and dark results.
• colour swatch style.

• this is an extension of the last experiment overlapping of more circles created more tone and depth giving a more realistic finish.
• deceiving and illusion.

• the spoon movement experiment inspired me to use circles to create the shape of a teapot through laying them out in a particular way. 
• inspired by black traditional tea ceremony pots, which are cast in clay and have a circle pattern remaining from the cast.

• made to look like the spoon face when stirring the tea and its movement as it moves inside and out of the cup.
• made by creating a single oval which was copy and pasted many times to create the look of movement.
• slightly moved further away each time it is pasted.

• made to ressemble the flower of a camellia sinesis plant, which is the plant all teas come from.
• made from overlaying shapes in various tones with various opacities.
• added texture through various layers applied over eachother.

• this is a representation of the main locations in the 17th and 18th centuries booming tea trade across the globe.
• the red dots representing the locations of the main countries. 

• following the path of a spoon in a mug of tea when stirring.
• capture movement as something visual/solid.
• used the pen to make original sketch and draw using pen tool in pages.

• taking apart the components of a new tea bag.
• thus taking it back to its original uncomprised factors. 
• simple vector image
• no line used in filled in shape, keeping idea of basics and simplicity.

• incorporate the colours of the main 6 types of tea found in the current tea market.
• identical in form but different through colour.
• various layers. 
• added texture through the use of non opaque layers.
