Wave Rock Series

Designer: Tasmin Swaine | Audio: Swaine Delgado

Hi welcome to my page! Im Taz.

I am passionate in creating beautiful mesmerising things, I want to embody the feel and thought seventies design had. I mean there's nothing quite like a 1970's Thunderbird right? there's something magical about vintage design that I love. I have recently started my own design studio "Design Hub" which has been a great opportunity for me to explore who I am as a designer, and I am loving every minute of it.

Project: Wave Rock Series

Wave Rock series is a seventies styled artistic interpretation of Hyden park, showcasing two of their main attractions, Hippos Yawn and Wave Rock. Both have been naturally created by wind and water erosion from the springs running down the rocks during wetter months, dissolving minerals adding to the colouring of the wave and yawn. My animation follows the evolution of this starting from water and creating Hippos Yawn and Wave Rock through paint strokes and lines. The colour pallet is a nod to the seventies aesthetic I feel from Hyden Park along with the lava lamp effect that captures you in like this amazing place does, its something mesmerising, and that was the feeling I wanted to create with this animation, paired with the music I think you to will be mesmerized. I hope you enjoy.

Poster Design

When I visited wave rock in Hyden Park I instantly got that seventies vibe, I wanted to embody that feeling into my work. Working with the natural tones red, oranges & browns, that are quintessentially Australian and seventies I created texture and movement through lines & shape to capture both Wave Rock & Hippos yawn in my own way.

Designing for Yagan Tower

Wave rock & Hippos Yawn are natural formations from water, using that as inspiration for my designs for Yagan, the animation was going to have a huge impact on how this was going to be achieved. Using a seventies colour palette that worked great with the colours of the formations I started with line work and brush strokes creating waves that I could manipulate in after effects. The movement I was able to create totally changed the look of them & I love how the evolution of how they became is the story behind my animation.

"Before the Rainbow"

Studio 2 Documentary

Directed by Tabbetha Marshall

Produced by Lisette McAllister

Before the rainbow is about a young female going through the emotional experience of a miscarriage. The cultural concepts the group has chosen are mainstream & Gender, Sexuality and Media, I thought the best way to convey these concepts would be through image making and colour pallet. I chose a neutral colour pallet that lent toward more a female pallet as the documentary is from a female perspective only. I wanted to create the line work with a more feminine eye using dainty strokes to show a fragile state with broken line work around the poppies. The poppies signify loss & the baby in the "womb" signifies hope as the documentary also follows the story of a woman who went through a miscarriage to then gain a child afterwards a "rainbow baby".

This project speaks to me personally & it is something I am really happy to be involved in.
