Collographs!!!

For the past 3 weeks I've been working on the collograph part of the identity brief.  I'm still contrasting Clonmel and New York but also finding a link between the 2. The link I've chosen is apples, as New York is known as the Big Apple and Clonmel's main industry is producing Bulmers cider from apples grown in orchards beside the town. I've been focusing on the texture of the bark of trees and the vein network on leaves and trying to incorporate that into imagery of buildings and maps. Collographs are proving kinda tough but sure I'm giving it my best shot (I hope! :P )

My desk at the moment :)
