OUGD503: Responsive//Feathr//8 truths of astounding wallpaper

1. Tell a story & have a concept -Great art switches your brain on and gives you a new perspective.

2. Be the talking point in the room - Decoration matches the carpet. Art blows minds and inspires love. Your wallpaper should be a conversation piece.


3. Think about scale and context -What's good on screen might not pop on the wall. How does the viewers’ experience change as they approach the wall? What do they see from 5m away? What do they see from 5cm away?

4. Play with layers and depth - Paper might be 2D dimensional; your artwork does not have to be.

5. Subvert the medium - Wallpaper comes with a barrel of expectations and conventions – so play with them, break them, use them, upend them. Art subverts and re-imagines.

6. What’s your repeat? - You don't just have to straight repeat. Think about how different repeat types change the pattern.

7. Don't fear colour - Wallpaper doesn’t need to hide in beige and blondes.

8. Vary with the repeat - Wallpaper is a repeating art form - so create small variations to maintain the interest to the eye.
