COP: PRACTICAL CONTENT

To fill my printed publication with actual content, I scanned through the e-flux website and selected stories from each section of the website. This means I can feature a bit of content from the entire websites catalogue, being inclusive of all the magazines offerings. I took at least one story from each section of the website. This included 'announcements', 'journal', 'architecture', 'video & film' and 'art & 'education'.

Something I noticed about the images on the site was that before the images loaded in appearance, a nice repeat pattern appeared in the box where the image was loading. I took a screenshot of these patterns to perhaps encourage me to incorporate them within the print.

These are some of the patterns I sourced from the sites loading system. The most regular occurring one I noticed was the second last image inserted above^. To be able to use this I'd need to illustrate a higher quality version myself. This would allow me to insert it within my printed publication. To do this I illustrated the simple circles and lines on illustrator. After this I turned the image into a pattern on photoshop and filled the page with the 'fill pattern' tool. This gave me the closest possible alternative.
